It's Always the Pricks

As much as we like to complain about them, it's always the pricks who do the most for us.

Alec Baldwin may be an unlikely hero for the Father's Rights Movement, appearing more like an example of everyone's worst nightmare in a recently leaked phone message to his eleven-year-old daughter, but he'll end up doing more than all the wimby-nimby 'we're sooooo victimized' divorced fathers out there.

Not that the world shouldn't take notice of the very real disaster that is the plight of the American male--perhaps especially the fathers, at least in this case--it's just that males cannot be victims.

Males are not genetically inclined to come from a place of victimhood, and tribe wouldn't listen if they did. Imagine being in the jungle and running from a tiger rather than shooting, then saying: "But I've been oppressed! My rights have been trampled on! There's no way I can compete!"

Just doesn't work.

Only females 'get' to be victims.

So, it'll take a kick-ass take-no-names prick like Alec Baldwin (who is known for amazingly generous acts) to get the much-deserved notice due to our much-villified fathers.
