Years ago, I had a flatmate who was around 50 years old. He was quite a nice and common guy, the opposite of the violent badass type. After paying the loan of the house where her ex and their daughters lived, after paying the generous pension for her daughters maintenance he had barely no money for himself.
Yeap, he was not specially brilliant, had a normal job, not such a big salary. He was not one of this Wall Street guys. He was a loser, isn't it? If he would have been one of this powerful guys with loads of money, then he would had nothing to complain about.
That could even be a Beatles lyric: "Oh, f*****g losers, with their low middle class jobs, they're kind of disgusting, aren't they?"
Then what is this about? "Look at those powerful guys, they don't complain about feminism". If you just reached to belong to middle class, or low class, how do you dare to complain? Oh, f*****g loser, you don't the right to speak. You barely have the right to live.
Sometimes the current values in the society make me sick. And so do some unempathic feminist attitudes. Not because of the gender equality request, but because of the individualistic values that wrap those requests and come as a pack.
Losers have the right to complain too. Not everybody is meant to be a Wall Street guy. Not everybody is meant to be brilliant. The world if full of drab people that are honest and do their best. The world if full of nice guys that finished last and losers with a golden heart. Haven't they the right to complain? Haven't they the right to rise their voice when they think that something is not fair?
