So on the topic of my last rant, I'm gonna go into a social messy topic. Sexism. In general. And to make it worse, I'm gonna prove it's happening to men. That's right, MEN are actually having this happen! Here's how:
Society and the media perpetuate this idea that men have to be MACHO. Watch football, baseball, sports, be strong, muscly, etcetera. What the fuck? I just want to sit at a computer, maybe get up every now and then, MAYBE watch a sport like hockey because I enjoy guys sliding on custom knives across hardened water trying to smack a hamburger sized piece of rubber into a net surrounded by plastic all the while a million drunk people scream at them. Not because I'm TOUGH, but because it's cool. Oh, I need to be fit? Fucking work out? Please kindly fuck yourself with the coarsest sandpaper available at your local hardware store.
Oh, and men have to hold up this persona of being emotionally tough. Fuck you. I'm gonna cry when I'm sad, and if society thinks that I'm weak because of it, they can take the nearest businessman's tie and strangle themselves with it. While it's on fire.
We've got all these Women's groups, minorities groups, all that shit, but men's groups? Not unless it's a church thing, in which case it's a whole different monster.
I'm a 17 year old straight white male with many mental issues including Autism and depression. Give me a fucking break in life for once, I'm already harassed enough goddamnit. Can we please drop the damn stereotypes already?
