Identity Politics

Identity Politics

All our problems we will fix
with identity politics.
Power to the under-powered.
Vote, revolt, don’t be a coward!

Who we’ll vote for? Quickly, choose:
females, blacks, Latinos, Jews,
Asians, penguins, even whales!
(Anything but old white males.)

Talents? Skills? Don’t make me grin.
We shall vote by color of skin
Do the candidates have breasts?
Yes? Well, then they passed our tests.

Let me give you my one cent:
When voting for government
choose the ones who’re qualified
and which acted bona fide.

Vote by “who” and not by “what”.
Vote by brain, and yes, by gut.
Female, male, black, or white
You must make the choice that’s right.

Here’s another comic about identity politics.

Now go to bed, grown ups are talking.

Comparing Incarceration Rates

Incarceration Rates - A cartoon by C-Section Comics


Let’s check incarceration rates,
worldwide (and also in the States):
Who fills up our many jails?
You guessed it – it’s mostly males.

Why is that? Because they’re brutes?
Because of natural attributes?
Time we dare to stop and ask:
are men judicially harassed?

How d’you think we all have versed
if statistics were reversed
and WOMEN were the ones jailed more?
Feminists would go to war.

Why are blacks jailed more? Let’s face it:
It’s because the system’s racist.
Can we all claim that ergo
judges hate men more? Hell no.

We all assume that men are strong.
The patriarchy can do no wrong
to fellow men. It sounds so right.
So let’s ignore men and their plight.

Kids, meet confirmation bias:
it’s that nasty thing that ties us
to our preexisting views.
(so our brains won’t be confused).

This is why we all disdain
stats that prove men are in pain.
So send those men back to the slam
’cause people just don’t give a damn.

‘Tis a fact that our conclusions
are nothing more than brain illusions.
(Best not tell it to your buddies,
‘specailly those in social studies).
