Men's Rights Movement

I don't take seriously pretty much anyone living in a Western liberal democracy who cries about being oppressed.

Says someone who is lucky enough to be both white and male.

Honestly I don't feel much that way either. Oppressed I mean. I have white skin, but I am a woman and a South American immigrant, if that means anything. Being a woman and South American actually got me a full tuition scholarship to college, which I wouldn't have got if I were a white dude. My husband certainly didn't get any scholarships and he studied much harder and did a hell of a lot better than I did in high school. We just now finished paying off his college debt.

I'm careful to speak for other people's experiences, but I looked up the definition of oppression and came up with this:

1. prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or control.

2. the state of being subject to unjust treatment or control.

3. mental pressure or distress.

Synonyms: : persecution, abuse, maltreatment, ill-treatment, tyranny, despotism, repression, suppression, subjection, subjugation.

Are entire groups of people seriously being oppressed by our society? How so? I get that we all have our set of disadvantages and struggles, some more than others, but perhaps the word oppression is being tossed around a bit too lightly. I could be wrong though, as I said. I just hear people say that american women are opressed and I'm like "hmm.. well, I don't feel that way..."

Lol, here we go with the brown nosing.

I don’t think it’s considered brown nosing when they’re sort of friends, I think. Besides, it’s nit like Tibs is grading her papers or signing her paycheck. She just likes him, and I’m pretty sure he’s friendly with her too.

I do like him, but I would have defended anyone who was being unfairly characterized. And he certainly was. Alt right sympathizer??? I mean, come on...
