How long must they suffer?

What should we do? What should we do in a world where white men are being treated so badly? So unfairly?

I mean – look at the data.

They have no representation in the halls of power. Where are the men in Congress? In the White House? In the CEO seats?

Look how many laws restrict what men can do with their own bodies. Look at how public facilities are closed to them. Look how they are de-prioritized in medical research.

Oh wait.

That’s women.

That’s people of color.

What is the suffering that white men are enduring?

It must be something. In my college’s alumni page on facebook, people were talking about where their children are going to college. One White Guy said his kid is going to Texas A&M, which is kind of the opposite of Rice, where I went to college. That is, A&M has a military corps. It’s known as the right-wing school and my college is known as the pinko school.

He is not sad that his kid is not going to Rice. At Rice, I guess, his white male child would face challenges for being a white male.

White guy: Mine is going to A&M.

(Reply) I’m sorry. It’s still a good school though.

White guy: As Rice used to be. Before the woke Kool Aid took over. My father and grandfather were Aggies. I was born in BCS. So it was a bit of a shock when I went to Rice, but at least it wasn’t TU!! Rice was perfect for me in 1979. Quirky, intellectually curious, open-minded. Lots of smart people having fun and working hard. My offspring has the added challenge of being a white male. Since that seems to automatically make him a PNG at Rice these days, and since he wants to pursue a military career, I encouraged him to consider A&M, where humans like him are still valued. Along with all other human variants.

What are those White Male Challenges, you ask?

Let’s see.

Maybe it’s something as tragic as not being called on first in class.
