So apparently Jen has her undies in a wad because a homeless man was masturbating in public. Sure, this is not acceptable public behavior, but lets not miss the main issue here... The man is HOMELESS! And many homeless people suffer from some form of severe mental illness. I highly doubt that any sane person would be wanking off in public... Just saying.
The homeless man she allegedly saw most likely suffers from a severe mental illness and would explain his public masturbation. I say allegedly because no where does she mention that she called the cops to report him for indecent exposure. If she were that concerned one would think that she would have immediately called the police just in case this guy were to become dangerous, or if a child were exposed to him in the act.
But all that aside, and assuming this truly did occur, we should not forget that he is homeless and is not afforded such luxuries as Jen who had to endure such a horrific event while walking to work to make money to afford all those upper white middle-class luxuries. You know, things this guy could probably only dream about having.
So, as she passed by she was forced to watch this homeless man masturbate! Oh the humanity!! Someone get the gun off her temple so she can look away.
Oh, and FYI homeless men on a computer reading my blog... If you ever want to masturbate in public to Jen McCreight, be sure to ask for her consent first. Apparently it is very important to her that you do so.
This whole situation does beg the question though... Who is the bigger pervert? The homeless man wanking off, or Jen for looking for as long as she did? Of course she says he was watching her, but how would she know if she were not watching him? Ah!
Then today Jen the voyeur wrote:

She has depression, yet is also capable of holding a job, one she is able to walk to in public despite her depression, and then sees this homeless man wanking off, gets all pissy about it, thinks it is all about her, and blogs about it to make her feel better? All the while claiming that she somehow has compassion for those with a mental illnesses because she has depression. And obviously it is not a crippling form of depression, as she is still able to function in the real world as was proven by her own admission of being able to walk to work.
Jen, you have again shown how disgusting you are by invoking your own illness, such as it is, as an excuse to treat others like shit. It must be nice to look down your nose at this homeless guy, go off to your job and then back to your comfortable home. Luxuries this guy does not have.
If you really did have any fucking brains you'd have realized that this was not about you. This guy was not wanking off because of YOU. How fucking narcissistic can you possibly be? He was watching you? Or was it because you were staring at him? It's pretty obvious it was more of the latter.
It's amazing how, for all their talk of privilege, some of the FtBloggers have no idea that their own behavior exhibits it. They are so busy being oppressed victims that they are blind to it. The other day, Surly Amy tweeted that her and her mom went to Skid Row in LA when she was younger to give away their ceramic bowls. *How very sweet, helping out the ghetto children. /s. The man might have been masturbating to her, he might not have. He was definitely not sound of mind and calling the police would have at least gotten him a place to stay, if not a 51-50 so he could *maybe* stabilize before he was put back onto the streets. They really have no idea, do they? The world they live in is so black and white. Shame on them.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more. They ask other people to check their privilege, but are so detached and sheltered from the cruel reality of this world that is by default totally indifferent to the fate of individuals. The presence and visibility of homeless people makes Jen, me and many other privileged people feel uncomfortable, because they remind us of the fact that the comfort and safety we live in is artificial and very different from this planet's natural state of affairs. To people like JMcCreight, there is the added unpleasantness of being reminded of the fact that for all of her wailing and feigned victimhood, she's not a real victim. Homeless people are real victims of society.
DeleteWhen you're walking by a homeless person, the disgusting sight of them and the discomfort you feel makes you the REAL victim. Never forget that--it's always, 100% about you.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the same goes for disabled people or those with neurological disorders that cause them to make random noises. By making you uncomfortable, they're proving that YOU are being wronged. For shame! How dare they?
I'm glad you brought that up. I work with a developmentally disabled quadriplegic woman with severe mental illness issues including schitzo-effective disorder. I can only take her into public restaurants and stores for a few minutes at a time because she will start screaming and trying to hit me. For a long time, these behaviors were not addressed properly in the group homes she was living in and now she is working with a psychologist and a behaviorist to try and reduce these behaviors. Often, the methods include not addressing the yelling. What this means is that when she's using her "nice" voice, I give her a lot of praise, but when she starts screaming the N word in the store, I avert my attention and ignore her until she uses her "nice" voice again. Let me tell you, it is often awkward to be in the diverse community where I work and have people watch me as I don't tell her to stop saying some of the most foul and nasty things a person can say. I've often wondered how I'd react if someone came up to me to confront me on her behavior. That thought is always there as people's heads turn toward us. It's uncomfortable but necessary. The thought that the wider world should be put first before her behavior plan or before the consideration of her chronic pain and mental illness is really just ridiculous when you think about it.
DeleteHow can one judge others unless they have an idea how their life is? unless you "walk in their shoes", so to speak?
ReplyDeleteThe baboons need to come to grips with Nora Vincent's journey. The concluding remarks in Part 3 are especially poignant.
20/20: "Did you like being a woman more before (or after the experience)"?
Norah: "I like being a woman more now, coz I think its more privileged"
