Quote: I'm not constantly judged by other men if I'm ugly
If you're not ugly you wouldn't know, if you are and you live in a utopia where other people don't judge you on how you look even if you're ugly then I guess you're pretty lucky. In fact I really want to move to where you live where white middleclass people get all these privileges, never objectified, never joked about, never the butt of racist jokes, you're in a high paid job because you're white. Give me the destination I want to go there.[/quote]
Quote: and I don't have the media constantly throwing me out a beauty standard of a very perfect male for me to follow
Off the top of my head now I can name about 10 male celebrities, who my female friends idolize who I will NEVER be as good looking as either facially or body wise. If this is a male privilage not effecting men then you would think there would be less men at the gym constantly slaving away for the perfect body.
Not to mention just trends that pop up that groups of men follow instantly, women say they like beards, click their fingers and its funny, a trend of lots and lots of men with beards starts. But I mean that's a separate topic altogether I suppose, that rant can be saved for another time.[/quote]
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
