Salon.com: 'Dude, where's my manhood?'

Article here. Excerpt:

'Kimmel pinpoints the cause of young white male frustration in another typically pithy coinage: "thwarted entitlement." You might call this phenomenon the blowback of the civil rights and women's and gay liberation movements, an ever-growing sense among young white males that women and minorities have snatched away the jobs and social positions that their fathers and grandfathers implied they could take for granted. Sure, it's hard for minorities to feel sympathy for white guys who seem to believe in personal responsibility when it comes to poverty yet claim that women and people of color are taking their jobs -- but they may do so at their peril. When large swaths of young men feel disenfranchised, violence is usually in the offing. If the guys Kimmel studies suddenly lost the ability to sponge off their parents, he implies, the effects of "thwarted entitlement" could easily spread out beyond the bad apples and erupt into various forms of chaos.'

For some reason hearing a guy peddle feminist rhetoric is more sickening than if it were a woman.

Agreed.

Ass clown/Ass hat. Same thing.

This guy is supposedly a scholar and expert on men and masculinity. But he has clearly been brainwashed by the feminist rhetoric, and is surprislingly out of touch with what is really going on.

It's not that much different than when slaves tried to please their masters after having been trained and beaten by them their entire lives.

I find it interesting how he tries to blame the rough world that adolescent males grow up in on sexist and racist policies towards women and minorities. How about misandry straight up? There's no way that would have anything to do with it, right? Like being told your worthless, and being put down at every given opportunity. And getting mad at men for getting mad at discriminatory policies which favour women and minorities? Shameless! Agreed. Kimmel = Ass Clown.
