Is there a Men's Card??

[malaise]

Isn't every assumption about the political system, as articulated by those who support and defend white male privilege, the Men's Card?

[Journeyman]

1. Only if someone's a dick about their sense of entitlement . . .

[Hortensis]

21. I got that!

[Eugene]

2. Nearly every time a conservative politician bemoans "political correctness."

It's a dog whistle.

Beyond that, tRump is trying to come of as the classic strongman.

[Skinner]

3. I believe this is it.

[malaise]

5. LOL

And a 'Bush'master to boot

[1StrongBlackMan]

7. LOL ...

Got'cha.

[malaise]

9. Hi there

[2naSalit]

17. Double entendre noted!

Thread winner!

[baldguy]

47. As I suspected: They exist, but they're really sad & pathetic.

[0rganism]

4. here you go

[malaise]

6. Where's mine

[jberryhill]

8. Ask these guys

[malaise]

10. Perfect

Shakes head

[Glassunion]

11. I thought it was just used to open beer...

[malaise]

13. Ha

[Glassunion]

39. My problem is, how can I call it a "man card"?

Is it really a "man card" if your wife gifts it to you?

[malaise]

42. Nah - be careful - she might take it back

[LiberalArkie]

12. It was my draft card when I was growing up. Nothing about white privilege, just that you were

old enough to get drunk and get your ass kicked out the door.

[malaise]

14. Yep that draft card which the really privileged tore up for them and theirs

Others must die for them.

[LiberalArkie]

19. I really wanted to get into the Air Force. They wanted me because of my score on the test.

evidently most Arkansas guys did not score very good on it. But I failed the hearing tests 3 times. One of the recruiters drove me across town to a doctor for a test. Still flunked it. I would have flunked basic anyway with heart problems and asthma. But I got a new man card that said I was 1Y after they tried to draft my ass after rejecting enlistment. But my local draft board got it straightened out. But I still had my man card.

[malaise]

22. Wow

It was not to be - but you got the card

[LiberalArkie]

26. Yea for an 18 year old guy living 15 miles from the Louisiana state line and the liquor stores.

Arkansas was 21. I did my Selma thing at 17 and got my drinking card at 18 and started with AT&T at 19 and my clearance at 20.

[snooper2]

15. You only get one if you buy from Duluth Trading Company

[malaise]

16. ROFL

[LiberalArkie]

20. I got one of those long tail t-shirts for Christmas and I love it.

[RKP5637]

32. LOLs! And great ads!

[malaise]

56. Really great ads

for sure

[RKP5637]

57. ...

[bigwillq]

18. No, that would be sexist.

[malaise]

23. Hehehehehhehehe

Too good

[bigwillq]

24. Thank you for laughing at my joke

You may be the only one to find it funny, but one is better than zero.

[malaise]

29. I doubt that - it was delicious(ly)

subtle

[Warpy]

25. Sure, it gives you more than you earn

plus a discount on everything you buy. Make that a white man's card and issue it to a baby born in any upper middle class suburb and it's a ticket to Easy Street.

Yeah, there's a Men's Card. They all have one but most of them never realize it's there because it's normal to them.

[Fresh_Start]

27. Trump had more than a man card, he had a 'rich daddy' card

you've seen the stories...if he's just put daddies money in an index fund he's be worth more today...
and not have 4 bankruptcies where other people got hurt

[malaise]

30. Warpy nailed it

(above yours)

[KamaAina]

28. Indeed there is.

[malaise]

31. Trump

[WhiteTara]

33. Yes. It is called normal

and the rest of us are aberrant.

[malaise]

37. Well all the institutions keep the myth going and so do the documents

It is not all men are created equal - it is all men and women - all women and men.

Until we all correct the language - I tell young women all the time - it's women and men for you and it's OK the guys say men and women. You have to destroy the assumption of who comes first - we can do it together.

[WhiteTara]

40. That is so right, we have to change the language. Although I don't think women and men

are created equally. I think we have more intelligence, fortitude and abilities. They may be stronger, but not necessarily smarter. I'm sure I'll be slammed as a "man hater" although I am not. But, as they say, truth is truth.

[malaise]

41. I'd need hard evidence

I am no man hater - but we are equal.

[guillaumeb]

34. Just because every President until 2008 was a white male

does not mean that white males have any special status.

Why are white males always the innocent (and of course wrongly) persecuted victims?

[malaise]

35. That anyone would raise the issue of the 'Woman Card' given the statistics

speaks volumes about the size of the Men's Card - there must be no other card...and then along came Obama.

No wonder Trump needs another wall - this one is over.

[guillaumeb]

36. Trump is quite good at pandering to the anger of people who understand the problem

but not the real reason for the problem.

[malaise]

38. Agreed n/t

[procon]

43. That's the problem, there has ALWAYS been a Men's Card.

The problem is that now, women no longer want to have it chained around the necks as a reminder of her place in the world.

[malaise]

46. Precisely

Fugg Trump

[davidn3600]

44. You never heard a guy say to another guy to "turn in your man card?"

[malaise]

45. Ha

[procon]

48. Do you seriously think that carries the same hostile intent as Trump's stereotyped slam? nt

[kwassa]

49. Does it say Hooters on the front?

[malaise]

50. Who knows

I don't have one

[kwassa]

51. looks like this

[malaise]

53. LOL

[rurallib]

52. Rich old white guys have the Trump Card

[malaise]

54. Poor ones too

and some in the middle

[Liberal_in_LA]

55. They dont see it that way
