Thing-ist

You would think being a right-handed, white male that you would instantly (at least our history classes and media tends to tell us) that you are the best. You are the brightest. You have the best future anyone can possibly hope for.

True? Well you won't ever be looked down upon, however you will not have nearly as many scholarship opportunities, and actually you can't say anything at all that even may be slightly -ist (sexist, racist, etc).

My mom raised me to think that girls are better, she went to say they can do more and their brains work better. While it is true that our brains work differently, I would not say one is exactly better than the other. So all that stuff about "Well if we only had a woman in the White House, then everything would be better!" Uh, not really, essentially you are the same, just there are different areas of strengths and weaknesses but as a whole it would just be different not exactly better.

There are so many double standards, it irks me. If you (as a white guy) say anything that could remotely be deemed racist, someone will call you out on it. However, take a look at what happens if they say something, not much happens.

For sexism take the current topic about Apple removing all content 'degrading to women' from the App Store. Women said various apps were degrading women. Okay, maybe that is true, however did they take off any apps of guys degrading themselves? Nope.

Feminists also irk me. Actually, just about any group that says "We are better than the rest" irks me. KKK, Feminists, Black Panthers, it all comes down to can't we all just get along? "Obviously because you have something that dangles you are a moron, however I will still use my body to get me a job." People will claim this is just simply to "make job hiring even", but is that really true? Do women need to go and show some leg to be considered equally? I don't think so, in fact, anyone who tries to do that sort of thing, male or female I wouldn't hire simply based on that.

I dream of a world where in children' eyes there are no lines to discriminate and everyone can just get along.
