John Scalzi wrote a post a few years ago about being a straight white male means you have a life on the lowest difficulty setting (using the video game metaphor). Today he’s written a followup with some quotes from a survey that came out recently. And here is a quote:
I don’t actually expect the sort of straight white man who fervently believes that is life is harder than anyone else’s, harder than anyone else can possibly imagine, and that society is even now feasting upon his set-upon bones, will pause to consider the data above. For that sort of dude, mere data are not nearly enough in the face of certain belief. For everyone else, including the straight white males who aren’t already conflating their own personal unhappiness with society squishing straight white men in general like bugs, this might be useful.
And unlike many other places on the internet – I do recommend the comments section.
