Showing Original Post only (View all)HOW did a generation of young men's brains get f-ed up enough to produce this bigotry about Jolie? [View all]
So I heard about Angelina Jolie's double masectomy. Good for her.
However, this story has generated the latest offense in a hyper-sexualized generation of young men who grew up in a toxic mixture of "abstinence only education" (thanks Dim Son) but with also MTV, lad mags, and online porn. Click here for the rest of the offensive tweets; I will reprint just ONE. Be warned: do NOT read if you have eaten within the past half hour:

(after the gallery of offensive remarks is a comment:
"For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists about being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny heres your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists."
Yep. They got NO empathy for Jolie's health/family concerns. Just her BEEEEEEEEEWBIES and now Brad Pitt doesn't get to have FUHHHHHHN anymore.
Sadly, this kind of "thought" exists even among "good guys"...your co-workers, your brothers, your cousins, your nephews, your friends all of whom you think never were overt bigots...and in your worst nightmares, even your own sons.
I'm one of those millennials referred to in that stupid Time Magazine cover story (how is that sales gimmick working out?) Lemme tell ya, the misogynist & bigoted shit I regularly see on the Seriously, America and [link:publicshaming.tumblr.com|Public Shaming] Tumblr's make me embarrassed to be a man in his lower 20s. And then the ignorant motherfuckers who get their info about feminism and women not from reliable sources but rather lard-brains like the Amazing Atheist and learn to not give a shit about rape...UGH. FUCK. THIS. COUNTRY'S. GOD. DAMN. BIGOTED. CULTURE. MY PARENTS DID NOT IMMIGRATE FROM ASIA TO RAISE A KID IN A NATION OF FUCKING BRAINLESS UNFEELING UNTHINKING SHOWOFF PSEUDO MALES who have nothing in life to show for other than hating women hating women hating women.
America...WHY are our men being raised to disrespect women like this? WHY?
So my message to my fellow DUers who are parents: Read your sons' Twitters and Facebooks. If you see them posting bigotry like I linked to, a couple things you can do: Take away their Internet access and have a very stern talk with them. Seriously. NOW. (Sadly, too many teenage girls think the same way as the bad boys who've eaten too much HFCS and red meat.)
