It's March Madness time - I guess. That's what people tell me, anyway. Basketball games are being played at SU, even though SU lost a game and is no longer in the tournament. Well, right now there are obnoxious numbers of people exuding the hegemonic masculine ideal up on my campus. Which means, campus is not safe, AT ALL.
I was trying to leave the parking lot today and this car wouldn't let me into the LONG line of cars. I got pissed and just sat there, hoping the next car would let me in. That is, until I looked up and saw a 12-year-old little prick sitting in the passenger seat of the navy blue suburbanite grocery getter that had so rudely cut me off. He was trying to be tough, gesturing his body around like he was gonna kick my ass... you know, with that "what?? what up?? what?" kind of look that is normally reserved for men in music videos and on reality tv. He's all moving his body at me, hands in the air like he's some kind of thug. I roll down my window and say "Are you gonna come kick my ass or something?! What are you doing??" He keeps it up. At this point I see his mother (the driver) LAUGHING and CHEERING HIM ON. Now I'm REEEEEALLLLYYY PISSED. His mother, a woman, is condoning and even encouraging his gestures towards another woman (me) that suggest that he wants to kick that woman's ass (in other words, beat me up). I. am. appalled. I pull in behind the grocery getter and every body in the car is turned around gesturing at me through the back window. I realize there are more children in the car. The woman is watching my reaction in her rearview mirror. I keep on yelling at her - she has her window down. I'm screaming something about what a bitch she is for letting her asshole son continue with his fucking display. She starts waving at me. I start yelling at her more. NOW YOU'RE GOING TO WAVE AT ME, BITCH?!?!? WTF?! I mean, seriously. CONTROL YOUR FUCKING CHILDREN. I'm yelling. I'm so mad. You'd think she would tell him to stop, that it's inappropriate, etc etc. But noooo she joins in!! CAN YOU IMAGINE?!
It's March Madness... which means it's perfectly acceptable and even encouraged that men and women of all ages are complete pigs. It's perfectly acceptable and tolerated that men and women of all ages display a violent form of hegemonic masculinity that threatens people who inhabit that campus every single day. I realize afterwards that perhaps the kid and his mother thought I was a guy - but then, does that make her encouragement any more acceptable??
March Madness and the NCAA can suck my fucking strap-on cock and choke on it.
