Continuing on the above;
There are other examples of subjects in which, to a particular viewpoint, acknowledgement of some terrible thing is taken to be a personal indictment, wrongly. St. Pete presents a teary case for young white males..for example, and the harm to their apparently fragile psyches which is created by the sheer existence of the term rape culture. It's easy to see that his concern is genuine even if his appraisal is as far off base as it could be. It is completely un pc to suggest that a victim is culpable for their having been assaulted or harrassed. OFC, never one to disappoint, St. Pete insists that women are at least partially culpable, for example, for wearing lipstick and high heels. There's a no sexual harassment rule, so maybe there should be an no lipstick and high heels rule! Why? Because lipstick and high heels are pretty, that's just nature, hur durr. Maybe they shouldn't walk at night, too. Spider brain at work.
Now, it may be that there are boys who feel uncomfortable, who worry that they are or are perceived as being part of that rape culture...but is the left... pc or otherwise, actually doing this to them? Telling them that they..personally..are rapists..in effect? No. This is a failure of education regarding the subject and a failure of education by their parents who..perhaps, never address the subject out of a similar discomfort. How and that this might all produce anxiety is obvious..but it's not even remotely an example of the lefts ideology creating unfairness at any level.
Additionally....the notion that the rhetoric of the left is that a person must see themselves as the victim, as the oppressed, rather than take responsibility for their lives is complete hogwash. There's actually a term for this one. It's called the democratic plantation theory as it relates to us politics. Dsouza loves it. It's the rhetoric of the spider brained right -about- the left...but it's as pervasive as any other bit of rightwing propaganda and St. Pete carries water for this one as well in his ranting kermit screed. Unsatisfied with simply claiming that the left is exploiting this viewpoint, they must insist that the left has somehow invented discrimination, disenfranchisement, and oppression out of thin air. It's not even a thing, it never happens..and if it does, it's the left doing it thankyouverymuch!
........I can dance all day!
Woe betide the person who points out that the right wing white grievance industry is not only wrong in the particulars of their case, but wrong to provide the intellectual (I use the term very loosely) background of maintaining the status quo. Woe betide those who seek to ensure that the free expression of legitimately harmful viewpoints has real consequences. Woe betide the person who strongly suggests that racism and discrimination and the perpetuation of these things is -not- free speech in the first place..or that anytime one finds oneself bitching about it on tv, if an entire network is devoted to nothing but this..if hundreds of thousands of hours of youtube serves no other purpose...one certainly has free speech.
Those people are dangerous radical leftist pc sjw antifa Killary Kiddiefucker Klinton super soldiers......hurtling us towards armmaggedon..and stereotyping you. So sayeth the gospel of the lobsterman.
