For those of us who suffer from oppression and discrimination on a daily basis.
In my case, I'm thin, an introvert, and child-free. I wish people would stop hating me.

Ah, Spork, you forgot to mention brilliant and stunningly attractive.

I hate you because your hair doesn't clog in the drain. I actually need to call maintenance this week myself...

There are many people that would find these qualities attractive. Fret not spork. You have a fan club. You just don't know about it. Untenured |

Thin and child free -- the world is your oyster. Introvert, me too. Take some Dale Carnegie classes.

This would be the case where I live. No kids? Unthinkable. Introvert? Unfriendly and untrustworthy for sure. Thin? You ain't from around here, is ya, city boy? |

The funny thing is that I grew up in a town without traffic lights, fast food restaurants, or movie theaters. And I used to drive my dad's pickup truck, which had a gun rack in the rear window. Ok, I did not intend this thread to be entirely about me. Perhaps 78 percent about me, but not 100 percent. What are other forms of oppression and discrimination endured by forumites? |

People in my musical theatre group hate me because I can actually read music. WTF?

Don't go thinking you're special. We're all underappreciated for our brilliance and fabulosity. I'm more under-kudoed than you are. The Fiona |

How long you fixin to stay? Being attracted to both genders and acting on it has caused discrimination in my life. Speaking my mind and admitting to having feelings and expressing those have also contributed to a lack of popularity at times. Talking openly about abuse and perpetrators is also not popular. Expressing displeasure over children and breeders and factors contributing to being childless(free) has been a discriminating theme in my life as well. Donkeys come to mind also. |

People in the choir hated me because I could hit the high note, carry a tune, and sing loud enough to be heard by the congregation without a microphone.
Hah. They shouldn't have a problem with that anymore.

Interthreaduality. Would it help if I explained that Shadowfax is a farrier and some of the descriptions of the job were deliberately left obscure? |
