Whenever the world goes particularly crazy – in particular America and its gun-obsessed angry white men – I turn to the soothing rants of the one and only Julia Sugarbaker. Those “Designing Women,” big shoulder-pads and all, had these dudes dead to rights. History continues to show that in general that it has been the cis-het white men who have done the raping and the robbing and the killing and the war mongering for the last 2019 years. It has been the cis-het white men who have done the pillaging and the beheading the subjecting of whole races into slavery. It has been the cis-get white men who have done the law making and the money making and most of the mischief making. So if the world isn’t quite what they had in mind, they still have only themselves to thank. And, for fuck’s sake, don’t let them buy a gun. Entitled racist and misogynistic white men will be the fucking death of us all, if we let them.
I don’t necessarily disagree with you but gay men uphold the patriarchy too. Gay men also do war and burning and pillaging, etc...
ReplyDeletelet’s be on the safe side and cancel men altogether. Yes all men
Carmen, you know the Walmart employee who helped 100 people escape from the store with their lives in tact ? a white man. What we need are stringent gun laws and a national Universal policy of background checks. Some states have extremely lax laws that are unacceptable. Mandatory mental psychiatric evaluations should be enacted for anyone who wants to puechase a gun. We need to stop the partisan politics and members of congress must act in unison. Im so tired of the infighting in congress while more people die.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting. How refreshing when someone just tells it like it is.
ReplyDeleteThe only greater rant than this is probably Jennifer Saunders "Tax the stupid people" from Absolutely Fabulous.
