What kind of backwoods Alabama stupid [not on average but by stereotype - Mia culpa!] do you have to be in this day and age to assume that the suspect is male? It’s the man’s fault… Is this not the ultimate sin… To infer one’s gender on the basis of their biology, non? [Pardon my French if you know what I mean, non?].
We are after all in the age of a mass formation psychoses in which the idealized self is a self-serving narrative created to interface with the world of our own making. A delusion reflected back out to the world… While Jimi sings in the background - “… let us stop talkin' falsely now… the hour's getting late…”
Stop the hate make gender feel great!! Next time you hear “them” blame a “man” for something take the time to ask yourself first, how do I know? Then consider the likelihood you are a misandronist!
Repent for your part in the process of the vilification of the male as stereotype. We should go back and readjust all the crime stats so they reflect actual rather than assumed genders… Always the male suspect and never the Queer 2S+ suspect. Nice!
Blame, blame, blame, blame… Now, if you are old and white too… You may think I’m being purely satirical but I would say, that’s only the perspective that you have settled on, the one that makes sense to you within the confines of your willingness for acceptance… Best of luck!
