Huh?
I got this comment on the I Read Comics blog today:
It's rare these days to have someone to tell me how all middle-class-straight-white-guys think. And how they seem to derive sustenance by stereotyping and oppressing others. Also how they are, with rare exception, incapable of empathy or insight. Thank God there is you - seemingly the lone voice unafraid to broach the subject these days. Now I see that those in the "minority" (and women) have been oppressed without exception and in all aspects of their lives for far too long (to c.1985). Never again should there be any portrayal of any "minority" (or woman) as anything less than completely capable and morally upstanding, save those instances where some middle-class-straight-white-guy has orchestrated to besmirch the unsuspecting victim (or woman). Now I see that no woman (of the multitude available in a given universe), would ever choose sex as a means of making a living unless she'd been forced to, or lead to believe it was her only choice or, God forbid, forced to objectively consider _her particular_ available marketable skills. Thank you again for opening my eyes to the middle-class-straight-white-devil. Yours is a perspective of which I'm sure I could never tire (to c.1995).
PS - love the show! (... and don't ya know I've gotta keep listening)
The commenter's Blogger name is Elinor. I don't really understand this comment and I don't get the references to certain dates (1985, 1995). Is this what passes for sarcasm these days? The kids today, I'm telling you.
"Elinor" seems to have set up a Blogger account merely to spew at me.
Huh.
