"I’m willing to bet that if straight white men were merely subjected to variations of the same six innocuous knock-knock jokes eight times a work day, there’d be national strikes and federal inquiries into the matter."

Au contraire, Ms. Southey.  Men have been subjected to abuse about their ineptitude, unreliability, and lack of compassion for years.  Who are universally the buffoons in sitcoms?  Men.  Who are portrayed as so captive by their hormones that they represent a constant danger to women?  Men.  Who are blamed for everything wrong (including the wrongs of their ancestors)?  Men.  It has been open season on men for a long time (even before the push in 1990s to make them more "sensitive"--i.e. more like women, or at least as women like to see themselves).  And who are the most defenseless?  Straight, white, men, who can't play the race, ethnicity or sexual preference card.
