A Very Brief Moment Of Triumph

Snap.

It’s one of the reasons I don’t have a Twitter account. My intersectional arithmetic is terrible.

And then, 13 minutes later
Never underestimate the speed of outrage bus.

It’s quite odd, this intersectional thing. It doesn’t seem to work how its advocates claim. I’ve been at several gatherings where someone was being stupid and aggravating but was nonetheless indulged at great length and with extraordinary forbearance on grounds of their being browner or gayer than other people. Despite the occasional quiet eye-roll, there was a definite air of people biting their tongues for fear of seeming racist, homophobic, etc. Rather than universal victimhood and oppression, a minority status can confer quite significant advantages. On at least two occasions I’ve been the beneficiary of this myself, which was both funny and vaguely irritating.

Intersectionality is to work out which children of the revolution get to have dinner and which ones get to be dinner on a particular day.

“… Happen to be gay”
Bit of a cop out, that. What with expecting the rest of the world to issue trigger warnings about *anything*, checking privilege before every sentence, and generally assuming that anyone may trump you with a victim card at any time.
It’s almost like practical solutions are not the goal, and it’s really just lazy narcissism: “don’t do anything that might upset me, even though I don’t care about your feels”

Just think how powerful you could become if you lost a leg.

“Incidentally, if anyone thinks intersectional claptrap is merely a niche hobby and therefore unimportant, think again”

Breadlines are good. Apparently.

Link fixed.

Worse, she was told she should examine what role she, “as a white woman” holding unconscious racial biases, played in the attack.
The SJW cries out in pain as he stamps on your head.

I’m hoping my mild allergy to cat hair will do.
I’m afraid you’ll have to do better than that. It would appear you benefit from monosexual privilege. We all need to update our “oppression hierarchy” accordingly.

The only reason I have a Twitter account: This old-school master of internet snark.

Before the Internet and its accompanying carnival, we put men on the moon using slide rules and mainframe computers with punch cards.
Now we have all sorts of “social media” and all sorts of fancy-shmancy electronic toys to use them on. We’re stuck in LEO, going around in circles, both orbitally and as a society.
There’s nothing like the progress of civilization, is there?

“…advised by the assistant principal not to press charges.”
With the beat-down on video, of course.
Hell yes, press charges. And further charges might be in order for the vice-p.
