76. I am sick of being told that I and other liberals are "outside mainstream"
We're not supposed to windsurf. We're not supposed to know foreign languages, especially French. We're not supposed to be too interested in reading or in the world around us. We're not supposed to use too many big words. We're not supposed to eat at fine or exotic restaurants. There's more, but I can't think of them right now.
I feel assaulted by this message that anything that remotely deviates from this arbitrary image of Average American is unacceptable and offensive and wrong.
I don't begrudge other people their activities and interests. So who the fuck are they to judge me?
