10 or 15 years ago? No

Now. Yes. Esp if I’m in company with people who are insecure/unstable. They love to demonize even innocuous things that I say. It’s bizarre and bad faith. I’ve been liberal/progressive my entire life. Only in the pats 5 years have I been told now that apparently I’m a Nazi/sexist/racist/bigot for having a penis and white skin. It’s insane. Just saying something like ‘people should be treated fairly and equally’ gets me labeled as alt-right these days.

There are simple a lot of unhinged ignorant and awful people who have been poisoned by social media and identity politics and they do not think men are people, and white men are especially not people. I avoid them as much as I can. Most regular people just think of me as a person. It’s just the nutbags who get all hellbent on whiteness and maleness, but they want to control everybody anyway. The type who believe that the point of life is to create a genderless communist/anarchist utopia…

also a lot of it has to do with just activities I like. I like to read, i like to ride bikes, i like to hike. I get so much unwanted commentary and lectures from people about how I do these things ‘wrong’ because I’m a white guy now. It’s just bizarre to me. and they all wnat to tell me to do them the ‘right’ way that is ‘inclusive’. Pretty sure me riding my bike has nothing to do with other people… but accord to these nutbags I’m ‘oppressing’ others by doing these things.
