Review of "In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks : . . . and Other Complaints from an Angry Middle-Aged White Guy" on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
well here's a timepiece from 2010 - all the cringe sexist, homophobic, racist jokes we used to shrug at, like water off a duck's back. but you know, there WAS some funny stuff in there and we really have gotten over sensitive to every little slight. like, the easy insults about your wife or a gay-joke to your friend - no one ever really took that stuff to heart. banter. it was lots of meaningless banter that might have been on tier with how's-the-weather nothings. also, given the book is now 12 years old I was shocked that some of my current bugbears existed back then: hate crimes, big pharma, and victimhood fetish.
