Living in a politically correct world as a autistic person so get bullied.

[dekaspace]

I would of thought being autistic made people more sympathetic towards me but as I say in previous topics online especially I get accused of things because I take a logical step back look at hings.

 

Recently I have stood up for actual gender equality in the sense that when I heard women complaining about how hard they have it and how easy men do then they listed things where they had it better as being worse I said "men dont have it as easy as you think" to get accused of being sexist, misogynist, that I have a unhealthy attitude towards women and they bet I am violent.

 

My actual crimes? things such as saying men should get paternity leave the same as women so they can bond with the child and paid the same, that meant I was sexist, they say sexist/half truths about men such as saying more men in prison therefore men are automatically violent I say "well women get let off a lot of crimes" to be called sexist and woman hating

 

I can go on forever and though my lists are about sexism so far other things come into account it just seems they like to be PC and have the moral high ground whilst I look at things on a case by case basic.

 

There is media coverage at the minute about poor white men having it hard, well I fit into that category.

 

I grew up with nothing so if someone said "oh you are white therefore have it easy" I would mention how I grew up in poverty and had to fight to go to university to be accused of lying or similar.

 

So how do I exist in this pc world when I am a victim but told as I am a straight white male I am priviledged?

I know exactly what you mean.

 

I have had problems when I have thought about things & come up with a sensible comment with a genuine intention to make the world a better place for all. Then NTs without bothering to engage their brains start having a go at me because what I have said is non PC.

 

Were do "politically correct" ideas come from? Who invents them?

You find people who appreciate you for your honesty and straightforwardness. For me that's the lgbt community and the social group I run in bath.

Oh brother, I feel you. I recently lost a fairly promising relationship when I made similar remarks, and on the one NT forum I use I'm copping a lot of flak for taking an equal approach to equality.

 

Certain movements (let's borrow the term 'SJWs' - social justice warriors) have quite rightly made it difficult for misogynists and homophobes and white racists to express their ideas. But it also gives those 'warriors' a false sense of being 'right' - and some of them have the same human drive to create a class of people they can spit on, the same drive that powers misogyny and homophobia and the BNP etc. The upshot is that they truly believe their own sexism, racism and heterophobia is good and right and just.

 

They're wrong, but you can't reason someone out of an opinion they didn't reason themselves into.

 

I've tried to learn to distinguish when and how to say what I know to be true, but I don't always get it right...
