Hey, Think Out Loud; thanks *so* much for giving equal airtime to the highly marginalized section of society that is young middleclass white males. It's a demographic that I really don't hear enough from or about, and I'm glad we can all stop to have a conversation about them, especially since they were notably neglected during your conversation about (get this) girls, only last week. Speaking of which, why do college campuses have womens centers, but no mens centers? Why no 'mens studies'? Perhaps your show will help foster some solidarity among these young white middleclass males, prompt them to aim higher, reach for the stars, and become the old white upperclass males that lie inside each and every one of them.
