If only it were that simple. OP has had victim envy for many, many years under a few different screen names. (His longest one was why he gets called Nick or Nicky on occasion.)

This from your cite.

The reason that young, heterosexual white males have a hard time, according to Fox, is because in the current politicised climate they are the only group without a victim status to fall back on.

Your cite says you are not a victim so how is it that you claim victimhood?

“I would appeal to young people to stop trying to out-victim each other and instead to transcend it and put their energies elsewhere. There is a lot of real injustice in the world and a lot of other things to be thinking about. I would encourage them to stop and ask themselves if they really do feel victimised. They have grown up in a narcissistic culture of self-obsession and need to realise that if they don’t like what someone is saying, it’s only words. They have been overprotected and overflattered all their lives, constantly hearing how important and wonderful they are, and I feel strongly that they have been fed a lie. Because all this has done is disempowered them as their capacity to cope with life has been drained.

“One of the reasons I wrote this book was to appeal to Generation Snowflake directly and encourage them to take control of their lives, because if this fear of hearing anything offensive continues, it doesn’t bode well for future generations.”


Why don't you take the bitches advice and stop being such a special lil snowflake?

The doll breaks and from then on whenever the ring is pulled, the toy just repeats the same thing over and over again.

And why is that? I see people engaging with him on nearly every thread he starts. If we all just ignored him and let his threads gather dust he would get bored of starting them here and would go back to making sock accounts on Fet.

Thanks for replying to the OP's opening salvo with an attempt to address the merit or lack thereof of his argument.

I think it is worth it to consider whether or not the RM's assertion is true. I think your analysis of the OP's relation to the citation is a touch too personal. I don't know the OP, but I wouldn't guess from his post that he is seeking victim status for himself. It looks like he is trying to foster some discussion as to whether this is the case, why is the is the case, whether it is a good or a bad thing, etc.

It seems to me that there is some asymmetry in the way this concern is treated, and that asymmetry is demonstrated in this forum.

Can you imagine if Staleek's and Sloguy's boring insults and insinuations, Dizzy's condescending dismissal, HoneyBears' mind-reading and WM's little photo-barb (none of which I can express any sort of value judgement upon) were directed at someone who was believed to be anything other than a straight, white male?

Can you predict the indignation, righteous or otherwise that would follow?

It seems to me that the decrease in social capital one tends to experience for being belligerent is lessened, regardless of the merits of the argument, when the belligerence is directed at a straight, white male.

The OP contends, as a proxy to the argument in the Irish Times, that heterosexual caucasian males are in the unique position of possessing no victim card in the victimhood-obsessed culture that seems especially prevalent in the education systems in western Europe, north America, Oz and NZ. He adds in his opening post that this phenomenon manifests itself egregiously in that freedom of expression, which some people regard as a basic right, is not evenly enjoyed by members of a society because the victim card may be redeemed to arbitrarily end a discussion.

I think his argument boils down to some animals are more equal than others.

Do you agree or disagree?

Edited for spelling. Staleek was autocorrected to Stalk.

http://www.livescience.com/18132-intelligence-social-conservatism-racism.html
It's a reasonably well written and cogent article documenting a social phenomenon. The intelligent observer would be able to take it as a topic and run with it.

So it's absolutely no surprise that you failed to do so.

Oh and in regards to your little article: "News flash - leftist wing-nut uses dodgy science to cast political opponents as stupid. Film at 11". Ad hominem is about all you fucktards have left.
