No, I did not support the Muslim.ban or anything else Trump did. Nor am I advocating to have all white heterosexual men locked up in concentration camps or something..
But let's be real here.
The minute young Muslim men started signing up to be suicide bombers all Muslims lost credibility and trust outside the faith tradition. For exactly why I stated. You can't tell from the outside who's peacefully following the faith and who's a radical.
The minute Christians started blowing up abortion clinics and calling for the execution of gays and theys, the same thing happened. For exactly why I stated. You can't tell from first glance who's truly trying to live the teachings of Christ and who's using the Christian identity label to hide their prejudice and their fascist nationalism.
You've got young white men doing the same thing with AR-15s, for all intents and purposes, as those suicide bombers. It's cultish ideology though not from religion. You've got middle aged men engaging in performative outrage like burning Barbie dolls in fits of pique over a damn movie to whip up a frenzy. You've got men signing up for homegeown militias to tear down the government (here in the US). All based on an ideology.
All because they can't get laid and the master plan of turning dating into a game has been an abject failure. The cult of Masculinity is a failure.
I return to what I said. That kind of automatic societal trust heterosexual white men have enjoyed for so long is gone. It's not coming back just because your feelings are hurt about it. If you don't like it, get yourselves back in check. Until then, you're just like everyone else now. You're going to have to prove yourselves first, then comes the trust. And get used to people looking at you with a long side eye.
