[ dropofmoon117 ] I was watching some videos on college humor and reading the comments at the same time. The commentators are usually horribly sexist college guys. That's why it was such a thrill when I came across these two comments.

"College Humor continues to sell their sexist narrative of female inferiority to a creepily eager audience. College Humor. College. Youth. The youth of America, supposedly the most progressive demographic of the country, are still only comfortable with traditional gender roles. And our civil rights woes are supposed to ease as the older, more bigoted generations mercifully die off. Right.



Read the above comments and tell me you still have faith in the future of America. The editors of College Humor, all avowed liberals, are enabling the perpetuation of the societial injustices they so loudly proclaim to be against by featuing damaging (and plainly unfunny) material like this video on their front page. This is the best you can do? Driving home an unfair stereotype?



You're all horrible. You're all horrible because you say you're something you're not, and you rob people like me a chance at a decent future. Fuck off, all of you. Fuck your families and the horrible environments that allowed your wretched attitudes to infect society unchecked."



He/she then got a ton of negative replies from the rest of the guys (except from me) and replied with this.



"What, exactly, do I have to be grateful for? That I'm born into a country that tells me how to dress, what I should be interested in, who I should be marrying? A system so refined at brainwashing its citizens that any type of difference, though labeled as a free choice, is popularly disdained? What type of freedom is that? The freedom to be loathed if I'm fulfilled by expressing myself differently? This video is haw-haw women and aggression don't mix!! Haha women are dumb when it comes to guns!!! Hahaha!!!



Gender oppression in America is even more dangerous than that in, say, an Islamic country, because nobody talks about invading and rescuing America. We fancy ourselves, laughably, as the liberators, when our entire society is bound by oppression. It is insidious. We're all in a prison but refuse to break out because we've been conditioned to not view it as such . And you tell me to get a sense of humor. Fuck you . "



These are pretty powerful words and it really struck me with massive force. I tried to get in contact with this person but they haven't yet replied to my email. They go by the name of "mh".
