You are nothing if not a man of principle. However much it grinds your gears, the quote above is worlds away from a clarion call to self-loathing for whining, straight, white males. Reads to me like it's meant as humility before World Problems.

How much needless hate and loathing has been justified by saying "That's just the way it is?"

Whether you're trying to hear it or not, what this pampered rich bitch and UN goodwill ambassador is saying is it doesn't have to be.

Say what you will about the shrillness of her voice, she ain't wrong.

The closest I can find to the hatemongering you've put her down for is saying that myths like the pontification found elsewhere in this thread must be challenged. Eventually, even destroyed. Unless you think people are the myths they believe, that's not even about people.

It's sure as fuck not about making whiny, straight, white males loathe themselves. Unless you mean they, somehow, are the myths they believe too.

Pretty sure society and nature flourishes and perpetuates around heterosexuality.

Well, pretty sure life perpetuates around not getting killed. Yet, self-sacrifice of the kind that makes people run into burning buildings or into enemy fire across No Man's Land is still a part of who we are. How does that happen? Is there an evolutionary advantage in altruism that pays off in the long, long run? There are those who speculate the answer there may lie in something called "kin selection." The advantage may well be in the protection of one's kin. The biologist J. B. S. Haldane once said he was prepared to lay down his life for eight cousins or two brothers, and it's not too far to speculate that may be at the heart of the matter.

Homosexuality is widespread in the animal kingdom. How hard can it be to imagine there may be an evolutionary advantage in that? Or that it's a part of life?

To associate ethnicity and sexuality (or gender) is a false dichotomy.

Not a dichotomy.

gender stereotypes (which evolved over what was best to perpetuate society)

Any basis for that conjecture, or are we just riffing here?

HOWEVER, sexuality is not

Easy for you to say. For many folks, their sexuality is a thing. I'm not altogether clear why someone would think that was up to them to decide for others.

Goodness these people think in such small, myopic terms.

"These people?" Eesh. Right back at ya.

Yes, when will lesbians learn their place?

Anthropogenic global warming, yes or no?

Arson? Who’re these arsonists? Is it Antifa? Because I bet it’s Antifa, right? And here, I thought it was the energy utility PG&E, with their ancient, decrepit above and below-ground monopoly infrastructure.

Lack of controlled burns? Maybe I’m surprised because I live in California, and I see them. You might think California is an isolated backwater around forest management. Not so much, although you’re right, I’m not entirely certain every neighorhood in the city of Santa Rosa is doing everything they can with controlled burns.

It’s true, there’s nothing as enjoyable as fresh socks. Well, except maybe wholesale rollbacks of environmental laws. For some folks, not only are they a pure delight, like your new socks, they’re about about feeling good. For now.
