freeholder, you’re comparing men being portrayed as clueless doofuses (doofi?) in comics and sitcoms with Segregation? Three more words: Grow a pair.
Let’s face it, there ARE groups which have faced (and still face) pervasive, systematic, and sometimes institutionalized oppression, discrimination, even dehumanization. As a class, “Men” aren’t one of ‘em.

Through no doing of my own, I’m a straight white male. I KNOW the world isn’t fair, and 75% of the time that works in my favor. If I were good looking (instead of smart), that would rise to 90%. If I were a practicing Christian (or even perceived as one), I’d be bulletproof.
