I was kind of sheltered as a kid by my mother, and I didn’t really have a strong father figure (he basically sat around watching TV whenever he was home.) In third grade I was diagnosed with autism and aspergers, although I now understand this to be a false diagnosis. Nevertheless I’m not the best when it comes to social situations and have a friend group consisting of only two close friends who I rarely hang out with in person. My social life is virtually nonexistent, although I have tons of acquaintances who all seem to like me, I feel weird initiating conversations with these people. I basically only leave my house to go to work or the store, as well as my daily walks/runs (I live in a rural area.) I don’t have any friends at work because mixing your personal and work lives is unprofessional. My main social outlet, my window to the outside world, is the internet. I’m sick of reading article after article, facebook post after facebook post, about how privileged white cisgendered heterosexual males are. I don’t feel privileged, I feel like a loser, and I don’t think that making blanket generalizations about the sexes and races is helpful to anybody. The way I see it, 3rd wave feminism and extreme liberal views have become the norm and infected the college back when I went to university (I just turned 23) and it’s gotten to the point where I now feel that it’s sexist for me to even be attracted to women in the first place because physical attraction is objectification. I now feel like I can’t even say “hi” or talk to any women that I see, either at work, the grocery store, or even the bars, because saying “hi” is an unwanted advance, or in the case of the grocery store could even be considered public harassment.
