Men can be really insecure

I hope every man will boycott Austin and do what he can to diminish Austin and to cause damage to the city’s image. The theater that pandered to the sexism typical of women will, I hope, regret it’s decision. The notion of a woman hero is a fine example of women’s eagerness to accept the appearance of achievement without actual achievement. Women learn from an early age to value make-up, that it’s OK to pretend that you are greater than you actually are. Women pretend they do not know that only men serve in combat because they are content to have an easier ride. Women gladly accept gold medals at the Olympics for coming in 10th and competing only against the second class of athletes. Name something invented by a woman! Achievements by the second rate gender pale in comparison to virtually everything great in human history was accomplished by men, not women. If Austin does not host a men only counter event, I will never visit Austin and will welcome it’s deteriorati on. And I will not forget that Austin is best known for Charles Whitman. Does Austin stand for gender equality or for kissing up to women? Don’t bother to respond. I already know the answer. I do not hate women. I hate their rampant hypocrisy and the hypocrisy of the “women’s movement.” Women do not want gender equality; they want more for women. Don’t bother to respond because I am sure your cowardice will generate nothing worth reading. — Richard A. Ameduri

Dear Mr. Ameduri, I am writing to alert you that your email account has been hacked by an unfortunate and unusually hostile individual. Please remedy your account’s security right away, lest this person’s uninformed and sexist rantings give you a bad name. After all, we men have to look out for each other! Can you imagine if someone thought that you didn’t know women could serve in our combat units now without exclusion? What if someone thought you didn’t know that women invented medical syringes, life rafts, fire escapes, central and solar heating, a war-time communications system for radio-controlling torpedoes that laid the technological foundations for everything from Wi-Fi to GPS, and beer? And I hesitate to imagine how embarrassed you’d be if someone thought you were upset that a private business was realizing a business opportunity by reserving one screening this weekend for women to see a superhero movie. You and I are serious men of substance with little time for the delicate sensitivities displayed by the pitiful creature who maligned your good name and sterling character by writing that abysmal email. I trust the news that your email account has been hacked does not cause you undue alarm and wish you well in securing your account. And in the future, should your travels take you to Austin, please know that everyone is welcome here, even people like those who wrote that email whose views are an embarrassment to modernity, decency, and common sense. Yours sincerely, Steve Adler

This is what everything boils down to, although you might as well say white men. They're insecure about everything, about anyone that isn't a white man wanting what they have and they don't want to be thought of as equal or lesser. If you aren't white and a man, you should be happy with less. That's the argument. Any other argument is bullshit.

Austin's mayor had a fantastic response to some a-hole who was calling for all men to boycott the city because, yes, of women-only Wonder Woman screenings.

Have you really met a lot of white men who don't want women or non whites to succeed?

Yes. Even if they're not conscious of it.

zwackerm, I don't understand why you can't just accept that white men are the ONE demographic that have it easier than everyone else.

Because employers and universities are like "we need to accept/hire more white males cuz diversity". Oh wait that's not true.

What's even the point of responding. You will never win an argument trying to claim white men are discriminated against. Just stop. You sound foolish.

The best colleges in the World are the ones with the most diversity. 58% or so of all colleges are still White people. That's a huge majority. The next closest ethnicity? Hispanic, at 17%.

The Paris Agreement is going to lessen climate change by well less than 1% by the year 2100. I don't see what the big deal is.

Comey testifying next week.

Yes. Even if they're not conscious of it.
