Because women and minorities no longer defer to them for opinions and answers. You see if if we did there would be no division. We should all just relax when jokes using derogatory terms are said. It's just a fucking joke after all. Prudes. When things are said that reduce women and minorities to a lesser status, it is not because they think woman and minorities are 2nd class citizens, it is because they believe the top rung of the ladder only has so much room and they have more of a right to it.

All this talk about true equality questions their rights to enjoy that top rung. They don't see it as everyone gaining rights. They see it as losing theirs. Cause I guess there are just so many rights to go around. They can't get over not being special anymore.
