Stupid White Men

Ok, seriously, I can't believe the gall of this kid. He claims that he has been discriminated against in his upper-middle-class suburban school. He, let's note, is a white male, product of an affluent family (his father is an attorney in Boston). Check this out:
''The system is designed to the disadvantage of males," Anglin said. ''From the elementary level, they establish a philosophy that if you sit down, follow orders, and listen to what they say, you'll do well and get good grades. Men naturally rebel against this." You MUST BE JOKING. Since when did upper-middle-class-white-males (and, I assume, Christian, since he mentions he wants to go to Holy Cross) EVER get discriminated against?! Seriously, who owns...well, everything in the world? Who has the most money and power in the world? Seriously.

On a seperate note, how ironic that the roles defined as acceptable in society for women actually work to our "advantage."

The kid's lawyer-daddy says that the system screws over these poor, poor widdle boy. Daddy says, "teachers must change their attitudes toward boys and look past boys' poor work habits or rule-breaking to find ways to encourage them academically." Or MAYBE you should have, I dunno, GOOD work habits. Or behave like a mature person. Just a suggestion.

The worst part is that even for all my skills and talents, this kid will still make $.30 per dollar more than me. Fucker.
