It was about me, in so much that it helped me understand the reasoning behind alot of the attitude(s) that are handed to me. In that sense, yes it is about me. In the greater sense, it was more like " OH! So THAT'S why people act that way " more than " Oh poor me ".
Do you knwo me to be an egoist? I'd like to know.
Outside of that though, it is not expressly about me, but about myself and many other people who have been unfairly judged , or not recognized for not fitting the mold. The people who recognize, change , and fight against this sort of thing get a toss off one like " well this doesn't apply to EVERYONE, but ...... ". I don't recall ever having seen anything in print, rant, or otherwise that says " Thanks to you who aren't asses ". I've made the point before that the people who disagree with what this culture represents in this vein are often unfailry grouped in without so much as a thought.
My whle point being ... I did get a message from this, and the message was genrically negative against a group of people of which I happen to be a member of. I think that it's unfair to categorize people like myself ( and there are quite a few of us ). I honestly came to understand better why I've been treated the way I have - and I'm sure other people have too.
