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.

Florence Pugh And Josh Gad Lead Celebrity Outrage After Cornell Frat Members Assigned Essays As Punishment For Sexual Assault

About a week ago, the story of the "Cornell 7" allegations broke publicly when a civil lawsuit was filed by a former Cornell University student known only as Jane Doe. The lawsuit detailed an October 2024 sexual assault at the Chi Phi fraternity house and Cornell University's handling of the assault after it was reported to school officials.

The public backlash against the seven rapists and four university officials named in the suit, as well as Cornell University, the Ivy League, and fraternities as a whole has been swift. Many people have shared their own experiences with institutions of higher learning and the mishandling of sexual assaults.

Trump Hit With Blistering Factcheck After Making Patently False Claim About Prices Going 'Way Down'

President Donald Trump was swiftly fact-checked by CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale after he claimed to members of the press that "almost every price has come way down" following Joe Biden's presidency.

Earlier in the day, Trump bragged to reporters that the United States has the "best poverty," sparking immediate criticism. He continued to lie later, even as inflation remains above the level recorded when Biden left office, economic growth has slowed, and the cost of filling a gas tank has surged roughly 50% since the war against Iran began.

The black-and-white ad uses slowed footage of Trump walking through a hallway, accompanied by his voiceover pledging that "this is the final battle." It ran during at least two of Fox’s Sunday NFL broadcasts, appearing during the Washington Commanders-Seattle Seahawks game and the Carolina Panthers-Cleveland Browns matchup, as well as on Fox News.
