This week on Disaffected, we tackle the sickening aftermath of Austin Metcalf's murder—a 17-year-old stabbed to death by Karmelo Anthony over a seat at a track meet. Anthony's family shamelessly spins the story, raising half a million dollars as fake victims of racism, while Metcalf's father inexplicably downplays race and rushes to forgive. Host Joshua Slocum cuts through the bullshit, exposing a culture poisoned by identity politics, entitlement, and moral cowardice.
A grieving father has the right to react however he likes... but the larger culture is going to have to get MEANER, frankly. People in previous generations were far less forgiving. They were comfortable calling bullshit when it came to excuses and victim narratives, and they were content to punish actions harshly, regardless of mitigating factors.
Social harmony demands this, especially when the society contains disorderly and antisocial elements.
I honestly site the roots of this pathological empathy growing from women, and feminized institutions. For whatever reason, women (as a whole) seem to struggle with the concepts of discipline and punishment, preferring care and kindness. If women can't embrace the benefits of harsh penalty (or stand up to those who do) then they shouldn't run our institutions.
Note: I KNOW many women are sensible and grounded... but how many of them are powerful women, in policy-related professional fields? Nearly every woman that I know in that situation has some story about self-censorship, for fear of offending the feminine hive mind. This simply will not do.

So… does this mean men who think they’re women will earn less—but are more likely to be hired—will “have to work twice as hard to gain recognition” as normal men??
