"...it’s OUR job to tell every Diane to shut up.

It’s OUR duty to put the Diane’s of the world in their place.

We need to REMIND them about the way of things.

We outnumber them."

Our flight is delayed. A woman on here is very upset because she has Thanksgiving plans. She is the only one obviously. Praying for her

Diane is in her late 40s or early 50s. She is wearing mom jeans and a studded belt and she is wearing a medical mask over her idiot face

Hilarious and WAY heroic way to stand up for working people. Don't eat an arm, or a finger. Don't munch on a spleen. Diane has to eat Gale's dick.

I can't help but wonder if Diane had been built like the Rock and named Dimitry if Gale would've passed his "eat my dick" note up to seat 7A.

Go on, tell me to eat your dick, Elan Gale.

I have a feeling Gale would've just kept his indignation about rude behavior to flight attendants confined to Twitter. But clearly, there's nothing more noble than shutting down a woman you think is being difficult and annoying by telling her idiot face to eat your penis. She deserved it cos she was rude, right?

I also wondered what would've happened, and whether the general public would've found it hilarious and awesome, if a black man was tweeting about telling a white woman to eat his dick. Say it's Gucci Mane on the plane tweeting about Diane.

If I tell a white woman to eat my dick, am I awesome?

Seriously, if he's ice-cream-tattoo-Gucci, not Gale, is he still a hero standing up for service workers?

Yeah, I really wish a black man

—or how about an Arab man wearing a turban

—would pass a note to a white woman on an airplane saying that "eat my dick" mess. I doubt the flight attendants would've been giving a wink and nod, as they appear to have done to Gale. Security would most definitely have been waiting when they deplaned.

The whole thing has me reflecting on how white men are pretty much raised to believe they can say and do whatever they want. Antagonize a woman, tell her to eat your dick, and you'll be lauded as a hero.

Rebecca Carroll As the brilliantsaid of Gale,

"He is the utterly ultimate uber quintessential I-can-say-what-I-want-delusional-white-intellectually-free-hipster-man."

low wages and abysmal working conditions I also don't know if all this dick eating that Gale encouraged really makes a difference for service workers. Maybe he could stand up and support the service workers who spent Black Friday protesting outside of Walmarts about theirinstead.

This is what being courageous and resolute looks and feels like. #walmartstrikers @changewalmart pic.twitter.com/K9doKJkRIL

"...about how after my brother's suicide the TSA people at LAX were going thru my bag and when they asked me if I had any money on me, I'd say no, and then the metal detector would go off and I was all, "I have no idea WHY that is going off...oh wait, is that money in my pocket?" And so they pulled me aside and were grilling me and I was finally like, look, my brother just died so I have no fucking clue what you're saying. "

"I had a great time antagonizing her,", producer of all those Bachelor/Bachelorette shows, about his live-tweeting of an interaction with a woman who was none too pleased that their Thanksgiving flight was delayed.I don't follow Gale on Twitter so I missed his flurry of real-time tweets, but today I kept seeing headlines and Facebook posts about the "hilarious" and "awesome" smack down he delivered to Diane in 7A, who apparently was the Most Self Centered Traveler on Earth. Gale says he never been "unkind to a person in a service position," and he doesn't "care what’s going on with you: Don't be rude to people who are doing their job." Gale says the whole point of telling off Diane is thatWhenever someone readily admits they were trying to antagonize someone else, and then anoints themselves as the one to put that person "in their place" and "remind them" of "the way of things," I give an automatic side-eye. But I was intrigued so Ito read the entirety of what, according to Gale's tweets, happened.According to Gale, after Diane complained, a "male flight attendant said 'I understand ma'am. I'm looking forward to seeing my family too.'" And then Diane replied, "This isn't about you."So Elan went in. Cos you know, if one person's behaving badly, antagonizing that individual will make everything better. He tweeted:I guess I was supposed to laugh at Gale's description of Diane, but most folks don't wear medical masks for the fun of it. What immediately came to mind is that maybe Diane is sick in some way. Maybe she is anxious to go home on Thanksgiving because it's her last Thanksgiving with her family.As for idiot face? Oh, okay...seeing Elan's photo above, I can think of a few dozen comebacks aboutappearance that Diane could've used, but let's not sink to that level, mmkay.In any case, after some more back and forth, Gale tweeted this note he passed to Diane:Maybe one of those Walmart Strikers can be cast as the next Bachelor or Bachelorette. I can see it now, "The Bachelor: Walmart Edition."As I shared with my friends on Facebook, the entire situation also made me thinkElan Gale probably would've tweeted, "This black lady has no idea she has money in her pocket. She looks crazy and disheveled."It's true. I did look crazy and disheveled because I'd been crying hysterically and I have no idea how I even got dressed or packed. And nope, my response to TSA was certainlypolite.I'm sure Gale would've tweeted next, "The black lady who couldn't figure out how to get the change out of her pocket just rudely told the TSA she has no fucking clue what they're saying." And then he would've decided it was his duty to put me in my place by sending me a little note telling me to eat his dick. Great.Also, I'd love to hear Diane's side of the story. I know I can't be the only one who's dying to hear it!Maybe she's totally fine and just super eccentric and likes wearing face masks. Maybe she'll say "Yep, I was having a moment. Mea culpa." Regardless, we could all stand to have more empathy for each other, and it never hurts to step inside someone else's shoes. C'mon, Elan Gale, let's have less dick eating and more actual love and caring in the world. We could all certainly use it.
