The 1% throws everyone under the bus. The 1% is an equal opportunity destroyer of the world.

Get used to it, men. and don't get mad at the wrong people.

Upper Middle Class White Men of a Certain Age are the highest rung on the Ladder to be taken down by the 1%

The men of this subset are just now feeling the sting that women and POC have known throughout the ages.

I am not discounting that Women are Standing Up For Their Rights as Human Beings.

Just noting that all is culminating to a point of volcanic proportions.
