    Text should read “every third American couple”. I dont think this applies anywhere else and has anything to do with sexuality…

      When I was a manager at a tech company this pattern female white woman was about 50% of our entry-level team. Every single day was a new journey into essential oils, herbalife, astrological signs and dreamcatchers. Their racism is there, it is subtle, but it’s also entirely a product of trying to appease the angry people in their lives.

      These women are dim enough to be led to ANY way of thought. And I say this with kindness, they are often good parents and have sympathetic lives and want simple things. But holy shit their families and husbands and partners are literally demons in human flesh influencing them to the worst ways of thinking and feeling, I’ve gotten to witness them in the background on zoom being violent pigs and screaming at their infant children loud enough to pick up on the mic through a closed door.

      The one thing that you don’t see that is shockingly common though is the physical abuse. As funny as this cartoon is, it doesn’t show the finger-shaped bruises up and down the woman’s arms.

      That’s statistically more difficult to determine because they might have other preferences towards magazines and t-shirts.

    Him being a part of every third heterosexual couple must mean he has a lot of fem presenting partners. I’m sceptical of all of them being of an ethnicity he approves of…
