    Man I hate when people are like that, gay flatmate I had would say “You guys are so clean for straight men” and Im just like, wth man, thats prejudice. Imagine if I went around saying “You are so clean for gay men!”

        Except only one way it “swings” has any power behind it and actually causes real life oppression, so no, it doesn’t swing both ways, and being the butt of a generalisation doesn’t make you equal or even comparable to people who are actually marginalised.
        So sick of this “reverse bigotry” bullshit, it’s nothing but privileged people desperately craving some victimhood. It’s gross.

          In the past I agreed with you. Now that I’ve worked with professional diversity and inclusion experts I can’t anymore.

          It is true that the larger group has more power so their stereotypes will cause more harm.

          At the same time it’s true that the act itself is wrong.

          We all need to be the change we want to see in the world. Everyone needs to let go of harmful stereotypes for society to move past them.

          You have just as much right to generalize as anyone else. But that doesnt mean youre not an asshole for doing it. Gay or not.

          You just don’t know what it’s like to be a straight white cis male in this world.

          As if there are no gay people in power. Pete Buttigieg totally doesn’t exist.

            Yep. That means we have gay equality now and there’s definitely not a majority of straight people trying to oppress gay people. Just like how racism ended when Obama was elected.

            Oh look, how am I not surprised it’s you. Again.

              If a person in power makes a racist statement, is it not racist if its against a favored class?

    The hate sex is going to be great. Starts off making out in the janitor closet with the pitter-patter of minimum wage employees in tow.

    Imagine how raunchy it will be when the employee says “Wanna try my king-sized whopper? I guarantee it looks just as large as it does in the pictures and IS NOT 35% enlarged~”

    To which the customer will say “y-yes daddy”
