Ever been called “not a man” because of your height by “tolerant” people?

I used to think this statement was utterly ridiculous until I started reading up and experiencing some of it myself. Anybody wondering how true this is, go on YouTube and look up “evergreen school incident”. An almost riot happened at a school local to me because everybody was convinced all white men were evil. This is crazy times
Have you ever seen pretty much any history book or newspaper?
Oh noes... are you feeling a wee bit under appreciated?
Yeah. That's what i was referring to. And i'm pretty confident, i like myself. I do not care how tall i am, i'm tall enough. As a teenager (16-19), i didn't even knew that my height was important. But many others do think it's important, more than i would like it to be. It's something we need to address.
But hey, i'm a white straight male, so i'm privileged and entitled to anything. Please give me a break.
Oh gosh... and what about International Mens’ Day...?
Men ( and most women TBH) wouldn’t give a ****. Like most of this UN driven stuff that has a long line of tax hoovering parasites with nothing else to do but promote “international day for [insert some random **** here]
I wonder if the young chinese women slaving away at Apple's contracted foxconn factories get even an extended 10 minute break to partake in such a great event? Or is this just corporate pandering for the useless idiots to consume, feel good about themselves, and to encourage them into hitting that like button on Tim Cook's twitter?

Do women really need these workshops? They already are the largest content contributors to sharing sites and the web in general. The world is well acquainted with the female perspective from countless selfies, dance clips, and product reviews.
Us Men "can go kick Rocks"!!
More "Woke" virtue Signalling by Tim Apple; How predictable!
Because Women don't work in all the other Apple stores around the world. Half assed virtue signalling.

All the 'It doesn't happen to me so my privilege doesn't exist' men in this thread denying their privilege in society are proving why we need days like this. ?

So Macrumors just turned 20 and one of the top comments on that celebratory article was how enjoyable the site has been because of the community. I found it a little strange since I find the forum has changed into an echo chamber of cynicism. Perhaps I was wrong. And then I read the comments in here.
Can’t believe stuff like this has to be explained to the uncreative squares in this thread.
“Why do their necks have two colors??”

I remember a few months ago someone here said he'd rather his children die as soldiers than be artists.
As a straight, white male, everything is already automatically credited to you. You’re paid the most and have the least amount of disadvantages. This is the real issue.
Also, let’s get real about women being the most privileged and protected. It took Harvey Weinstein decades before any of his rape victims saw a modicum of justice. It had to take a white man’s voice before any of their claims were remotely taken seriously. And, it had to take a marginalized gay man to report it, since straight, white men can only focus on what they feel is being taken away from them due to other people finally gaining some equality.

Yup. Back then there was plenty of whining about Apple's products, but at least we didn't have to deal with this constant alt-right nonsense.
I can't get any more woke than I already am.

Lol. Sure. What a stilted and poisoned world view.
[automerge]1582648088[/automerge]
Criticism of "National Women's Day" is now "All right."
Sure. Buy a dictionary, my man.
[automerge]1582648124[/automerge]
Shaking with laughter at the absurdity of a "National women's day."
[automerge]1582648207[/automerge]
I have zero privilege. Come walk a mile in my shoes, son, and you can tell me all about my "privilege."
What is wrong with you people?

Huh? Every day is a straight white men day...
straight white man bad.......good grief...just stop it.
Hah, ask any straight woman anywhere her criteria for a male partner and it will start with "tall..." 90% of the time, completely superficial requirement but the most important to many. Now watch a man respond with "slim" in his list, a physical aspect which can actually be changed and watch the volcano of feminism erupt. There are many hypocritical double-standards in the woke world and women complaining about beauty standards set by the media is one.
For what it’s worth brother, I think the tide will turn. It seems in history there’s always a period of intolerance that’s acceptable for a short period of time before there’s a push back and people realize it’s not right. It’s so weird seeing people decry racism while being racist towards whites and Asians for example. I believe this point in history will be looked back on as a “what the hell were we thinking” moment. It might be awhile, but someday we will realize fighting racism with more racism was a terrible tactic and only served to divide people more.
You thought incorrectly.

When is International Men's Day? (No, I didn't think so.)
