In an very short video, a woman on a date with a "straight male" records him saying he feels "marginalized."

There has definitely been a trend of straight people, usually straight men, who feel as though they are being oppressed by increasing visibility and equality for marginalized groups.

For the privileged, equality can feel like oppression.

For instance, a "straight pride" event was attempted in Dallas, Texas and Boston, Massachusetts. LGTBQ+ Pride events across the U.S. came out of riots and protests to gain equality for actually marginalized identities. Obviously, straight is the dominant culture in U.S. society and does not need a Pride event.

The viral video showcasing the mans ignorance has 1.4 million likes on TikTok.

TikToker Javs (@javeeeeeeeeee) filmed a less than 15 second clip of a date she went on. She dubbed it the "shortest date in history caught on camera."



@javeeeeeeeeee

Men can’t live with them can live without them good thing I didn’t waste time getting ready lolz #men #fyp #foryoupage #parati #foryou #pourtoi #joke


The man said:

"As a straight male, I often feel marginalized."

As soon as he said that, Javs smiled politely and replied:

"I'm going home."

The comments really came after this man for his audacity, as well as man who tried to defend him.

This also sparked a conversation about what it actually means to be marginalized or oppressed.

Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines marginalized as:

"Relegated to a marginal position within a society or group."

The dictionary also defines oppressed as:

"Burdened by abuse of power or authority."

Straight men really need to stop trying to be oppressed and help those who actually are living in the margins.

Barstool Sports owner and Trump supporter Dave Portnoy—a man who's faced numerous accusations of sexual assault and who's spent more time building One Bite Pizza Reviews than even remotely working in politics—had people rolling their eyes after revealing he's considering running for New York City mayor in 2029 against Zohran Mamdani.

In an interview with Fox News personality Jesse Watters, Portnoy said he had long believed he would "never get involved in politics," arguing that greater impact could often be made through the private sector. But he said recent events had caused him to reconsider that position.

Names are a deeply personal part of each person's identity, and it stands to reason that names would carry emotional and professional weight for an actor.

While some stick with their given name, some actors use a stage name that's important to them, or they invent something entirely new that they hope will become a household name someday.
