Spot on. So why bother trying to change it?

Kyun ke, umeed pe duniya qayem hai.
And it's not a matter of wanting to change things, but hoping that things manage to be a little better tempered and slightly more acceptable (or less offensive) within the existing social constructs.
Co-existence is possible.

Acceptable, less offensive and better tempered are all perspectives. What we all need are yardsticks, against which we can put our own righteous conforming selves in perspective.

Fair enough. All of these are a matter of perspective.
But why is conforming to those socially accepted yardsticks, while still retaining the essence of one's individuality, so wrong or objectionable? It's not a matter of being accepted by or pleasing the masses, but why go out of your way to incite the contempt of the masses?

Inciting contempt of the masses? That is conviction of an uncommitted crime. If that were the case, our exiles wouldn't always result in protests from the very people we are convicted of offending. Conforming while still retaining your individuality is an option some don't have. The words of wisdom in Jaanwar's profile picture sum it up perfectly.
But then again, it isn't as black and white as my post suggests. If you think you are a victim, maybe you are not looking for the reasons. You know how they say in Punjabi "Apni manji thallay daang phero"
Re: Guy Friends
Yes, the protests have been noted.
Some people do see themselves as victims, me not so much. I'm capable of either taking care of myself, and barring that - walking away.

Exactly, taking care of yourself, standing up for yourself, or just walking away. The ones who see themselves as victims can learn a lot from you.
So what was the problem again?

Re: Guy Friends
If it’s really that hard to keep a simple Guy friend, think about a second option, such as having a BULL friend :halo:
