What Happens Next: A Gallimaufry: Joel Stein Is A Sexist Ass

fozmeadows:

Cards on the table: I had never heard of Joel Stein until five minutes ago. Nonetheless, having just read his oh-so-condescending op-ed for the NY Times on why, in his estimation, adults shouldn’t read YA, I feel qualified to make the above assertion.

Why a sexist ass, you ask, instead of…

Modern Love letter

——>”Here is what I know: when you give another person any part of yourself purely out of love, be it actions, words, skin: the internal reward is an opening of a closed up flower. A dim light in an icy window. I wish I could remember this feeling all day, every day. There is so much strength in giving.”

Dear 53%ers:

Congratulations on all your success. I mean that. But all this “the gov’t never helped me” stuff? Yeah, about that:

- That no-frills State U. education you paid yourself through was so cheap because it was subsidized with tax dollars. The scholarship you earned, same deal.

- The road you drive on to work didn’t magically appear there. It was a gov’t project.

- You’ve likely never been hospitalized for food poisoning. Federal food inspectors do good work.

- Your business has been able to flourish in part thanks to protection from police and fire departments … UNION WORKERS and gov’t employees all.

- The Internet is a wonderful thing that makes wide dissemination of your ideas quick and easy, isn’t it? Yep, another innovation of the bloated, incompetent federal government. 

- At this very moment you are paying my salary to defend your right to your poorly-formed opinion and to be callous toward your fellow man. You’re welcome, jerks.

Sincerely,

An American soldier in Afghanistan

This is beautiful.

I do not understand why these concepts are so hard to grasp for some people.

Two words: “Willful blindness.”

Wait a second. I’m paying an outrageous amount for out of state tuition because the program is good here, and there is absolutely no scholarship money floating around for those of us that can feed ourselves, but still can’t really afford university.

I’m just saying. I can feed myself. And walk everywhere on paved roads. And sure the military is supporting me (well, not really right now, we’re just being bullies). And yeah, okay, my food is alright.

But is it too much to ask that my health care is the same as a politicians? That I can retire at a regular age like presidents?

Don’t give me shit about, “You have all of this, though!” I’m not blind. I know what I have. What pisses me off though is that people who don’t work any harder or any more are handed more because of who they are.

That’s what this 99% movement is about.

Get down from your high fucking horse.

This.

Indie Ink Editor's Choice! Sweet.

 

Every week, our IndieInk Writing Challenge draws the most brilliant and imaginative writers who craft the most creative and interesting posts — and many of these submissions just knock the editors’ collective socks off. And so, the editorial staff decided to get together and select one submission weekly to feature as our “Editors’ Choice.”

This week, the “winning” challenge was The Retelling by Summer, in response to the challenge issued by Indie Adams, “Sometimes the truth is fiction.” (Indie also issued the winning challenge last week.)

Here it is (again):
