White males oppressed???????

I can't help but wonder if the world has gone mad!!!
Why are we forgetting about the rights of the oppressed and becoming so concerned about about our oppressor.

Lately all I have being hearing about, is how oppressed and done in the strait white male is these days.  It seems that the poor white male is getting bashed from every corner and just can't seem to get a break. 
The financial crises appears a great deal in the media and here we constantly hear how it is negatively effecting the white male - I guess women and people of colour were not and are not effected by the crises.

Well, lets look at this a bit more closely.  The strait white male has spent centuries oppressing women and people of colour.  The white male has lived a life of great privilege at the expense of those he oppresses.

Today the strait white male is at the top of the hierarchy, still living with great privilege and still oppressing all people who are not strait white males.

Yet it is this group that we are told is being so oppressed by evil feminists and other like minded people. 

It really irritates me when I have to continuously listing to these oppressers constantly whining about the fact that they may actually lose some of their great privilege. Thus we must feel sorry for the oppressor and become angry at the oppressed, for clearly according to white male logic it is the oppressed who are causing all the problems.

Here is an article written by Vivia Chen on 19 April 2011 called "Point and Shoot"

I'm beginning to sympathize with hunters in states like Wyoming and Montana who are fed up with animal protectionists. Do packs of wolves that prey on cattle and threaten the livelihood of hardworking, God-fearing ranchers really need protection?
Okay, so I know zilch about wolves and livestock. (I'm not sure I'd know a wolf from a German Shepard if one crossed my path at the information booth in Grand Central.) But let me tell you I'm feeling protectionist fatigue just reading the title of Newsweek's latest cover story: "Beached White Males."
It must be in vogue to champion middle-class Caucasian men as endangered species. Here's what the Newsweek article says:

The same guys who once drove BMWs. . . have now been downsized to BWMs: Beached White Males.

Through the first quarter of 2011, nearly 600,000 college-educated white men ages 35 to 64 were unemployed . . . That’s more than 5 percent jobless—double the group’s pre-recession rate. That might not sound bad compared with the plight of younger, less-educated workers and minorities, but it’s a historic change from the last recession, when about half as many lost their oxford shirts. . . In New York City, men in the 35-to-54 kill zone have lost jobs faster than any other group, including teenage girls. . .

Oh my, teenage girls beating out middle-aged, white men. Who knew they were competing for the same jobs at American Apparel and Wendy's?

In a way, the Newsweek story is yet another take on Hanna Rosin's article ("The End of Men") in The Atlantic last year that predicted the eventual rise of women in the workforce. The Newsweek piece, though, kicks up the end-of-masculinity hysteria another notch--what it calls "the psychic toll of the Mancession." The piece cautions:

It might be tempting to snark at these former fat cats suffering lean times. But when Beached White Males suffer, so do their wives and children. Lives, marriages, and futures are at stake. Examining who these guys are, and what washed them up, is not an exercise in schadenfreude. It's a cautionary tale. To quote Arthur Miller on the most famous Beached White Male, "Attention must be paid."

Though the Newsweek piece didn't say it in so many words, it suggests that white men were being replaced by women--especially their wives--on the workfront, and that's what causing this "stain on your masculinity for becoming the bread-loser." (Hey, anyone notice that those guys are lucky to have working wives who can support them? Would it enhance their masculinity if the whole family starved?)
In any case, Newsweek must be way ahead of the curve, because last time I looked, white guys still seem in charge. That's certainly the case in the legal profession, where women and minorities didn't fare so well during the recession. In fact, white men rule in most professions--including journalism, I might add (though Tina Brown now heads Newsweek).
Please, can we stop putting white men in the endangered category?

Unquote

White males rule the corporate world, the government, the judiciary, the military and so on.
White males still live in privilege, white males still oppress women and girls.  These white male businessmen are known for finding prostitutes and raping them both at home and abroad where access to underage girls is a lot easier.

So, can we please stop concentrating on the privilege strait white male and actually start concentrating on people are are actually oppressed.
