Dumb Political Correctness

[Mr. Deez]

I've thought about the Karen phenomenon, and I think it's dumb mainly because I don't see much of a correlation with the name. However, I can see why it sets up intersectional conflict on the Left.

A "Karen" generally negatively refers to a woman being pushy, entitled, a busybody, and frivolously calling on authorities to help her get her way. A feminist isn't going to like this, because it makes an assertive and self-centered woman look bad, but that's looking at it from only one dimension.

There are other stereotypes associated with it. Karen is white (a negative on the intersectional hierarchy), suburban (another negative), a married mother (another negative), relatively affluent (another negative), and probably doesn't have a job (a huge negative). Furthermore, she is often directing her assertiveness at ethnic minorities (who are higher on the intersectional hierarchy). So there's a lot of room for intersectional conflict.

Running out of women's names, Felicia first, now Karen.

My wife’s name is Karen! Bye Felicia!

 

[Joe Fan]

Will "OK Karen" replace "OK Boomer?"

 

[Horn6721]

^ Those 2 are clueless.

Remember Julia? Wasn't that the one shown living off the gov't cradle to grave?

 

[Monahorns]

Who is pretending to hate Pelosi? I don't think anyone is pretending. She is a Felicia Karen.

To blame that on ice cream and appliances is ridiculous.

Graduation canceled...except for 'students of color' and 'LGBTQIA+' students

St. Olaf College in Minnesota plans to host three virtual graduation ceremonies for different groups of minority students, while others must wait until next year to celebrate their completion of college.

“Self-identified domestic students of color, international students and LGBTQIA+ students” at the Minnesota school will receive their own virtual graduation ceremonies at the conclusion of this year amid the COVID-19 pandemic, per an administrative email. Meanwhile, graduation for the rest of the class of 2020 has been “rescheduled for a date in late May/early June of 2021,” according to the school's website.

“This event acknowledges the value and uniqueness of students’ experience..." The three virtual graduation ceremonies for students in minority groups were announced by and will be hosted through the Taylor Center for Equity and Inclusion. This project of the school exists to help “students of color," “LBGTQIA+” and international students “celebrate” their “awesomeness factor,” per the center’s website.​

I don't even know what to say anymore. The division in our country couldn't be more stark. The Liberal Philosophy has adopted virtual hatred of white people as it's central pillar and load bearing wall. Yet it is white people who are pushing this hardest. Their self-loathing is a pathological form of mental self-mutilation. I disagree with it wholeheartedly.

When Obama won it was declared that we are in a post-racial society. That will never happen as long as Liberalism has legs.

Of course, he said something that pretty much every man has known to be true his entire adult life.

Of course it's true. We are surgical. We want in and we want out. Our general aversion to shopping is a fact. That's what's wrong with the world. We can no longer acknowledge the difference. It used to be, "Vive la difference." Now it's crush anyone who even thinks it.

My 16 year old daughter LOVES being a girl and freely and cheerfully laughs at her love of shopping. She sends me texts saying, "Guess who put a cart out there?!?" It's great. She say's, "Daddy, if you don't like the shopping stuff you shouldn't have had a girl." And yes, they take their time. It's not because they're idiots; it's because they are picky about what they spend their money on and their look and god love them for that. We love how they want to look good and chisel and chisel until that house becomes a home and not a cave.

JESUS H CHRIST!

Our country is immoral. We are immoral. Time to start over.

"Yes, son, we are eating Little Debbie's again tonight!"

Hey, I'm not a big sweets eater, but I love those Little Debbie peanut butter wafer bars. I don't let them in my house, because I'd weigh 500 pounds if I did, but they are good. I'd eat them for dinner.

So, Debbie did UT Dallas?

Lol. Not when I was there. Maybe now.

Are we drinking again?

 

[Mr. Deez]

Are we drinking again?

I got a law degree, passed the Bar (my first time), practiced law for 10 years, and now I'm a full-time, unpaid kindergarten teacher. Do you think I drink? Lol.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

That's what a law degree from Baylor will get you.

Baylor did fine. It's what making an ill-advised promise to a big-tittied blonde woman will get you. Lol

I can only assume you are describing Mrs. Deez and your wedding vows.

 

[Mr. Deez]

I can only assume you are describing Mrs. Deez and your wedding vows.

Not exactly. Soon after we got married in 2008, Mrs. Deez interviewed for a job in Bitburg, Germany. I said hell no and made her withdraw her application, but to get her to simmer down, I promised to take her to Germany during spring break one year. We went in 2010, and we loved it more than either of us expected. We went to Italy the following year and loved that.

She wanted to apply with the agency again. I told her that if she was offered a position in Europe, I'd go. I had no expectation that she'd be offered Europe. Virtually no teachers get offered Europe from the start. They usually get offered Japan or Korea and transfer to Europe a few years later, and neither of us were willing to move for that. So I thought I was making some grandiose promise I wouldn't have to keep.

Well, she got offered Europe in the summer of 2011, which shocked the hell out of both of us. I kept my promise, and the rest was history.

Cool story. I need to visit Germany some day, preferably in wine country along the Mosel River.. I already know I love northern Italy.

The Twin Cities are the most liberal cities west of New York and East of San Francisco. I remember when that Al Gore envioroment movie came out, I was living in Minneapolis at the time. You would have thought they just released Gone with the Wind. there were lines to see that crap.

My first thought was advise my dad gave me when I was in college. Never fall in love with a stripper, they are fun to play with but if you fall in love and marry one, you are in for a world of pain and suffering.

I get it, I spent a little time there.

The one thing I will never forget from those people was the Paul Wellstone funeral, which they turned into a political rally. It was one of the grossest displays of crassness I have ever seen. But they were happy with themselves.
