The Man Who Feels Is Not A Man At All

Categorized under Blogando | Tags: InhuMen Behavior, YouTube

AND HERE IS WHAT AWAITS the man who tries to speak honestly in YouTube comment threads. It's a little funny, and sad. I include it because it is an extreme version of exactly what I've faced all my life, being expressive and "sensitive," and verbal, and well...human. Something men are taught they are not, here in this United States.

—YouTube comment thread for Burn One Down, by Ben Harper

I am big and old enough now to laugh it off. But for a long time, I wasn't.

 The Unapologetic Mexican has been known to scribble a few things besides meandering, verbose, self-congratulatory blog posts. However, they are rarely as fun. Finally, let it be known that Nezua first dared bust out this Habanero of Truth at exactly 2:05 PM.  | Top | View blog reactions

"But for a long time, I wasn't." Me either. I am gay and retarded too, bro.

so true. when i saw that comment i couldn't even believe it was real. the hate and ignorance is unbelieveable.

yet...as i said. this is an extreme form of reaction i've got for a long time. i can only begin to imagine what it must be like when you are actually gay.

Music doesn't get to your soul.

Perhaps he doesn't let on he has a soul, so he has to panic-like push away anything that suggests one. Homo-sapiens-phobia.

it was sort of an unbelievable comment. if not to your soul...where does music resonate? your skin? your finger bones? your eardrums? is that why it can make one smile, weep, ready to wage an impossible fight?

really, its very sad that a person could even assert such a thing as he did.
