freeholder, youāre comparing men being portrayed as clueless doofuses (doofi?) in comics and sitcoms with Segregation? Three more words: Grow a pair.
Letās face it, there ARE groups which have faced (and still face) pervasive, systematic, and sometimes institutionalized oppression, discrimination, even dehumanization. As a class, āMenā arenāt one of āem. Comedy at the expense of the privileged (and men ARE privileged) is an important social release: A poor kid knocking off a rich manās hat with a snowball is comedy; a rich kid knocking off a poor manās hat with a snowball is pathetic.
Through no doing of my own, Iām a straight white male. I KNOW the world isnāt fair, and 75% of the time that works in my favor. If I were good looking (instead of smart), that would rise to 90%. If I were a practicing Christian (or even perceived as one), Iād be bulletproof.
