I groaned in sympathy with her story about learning that an untalented male “feminist” comedian in her social circle had been accused of sexual misconduct. She is scathing on the subject of how white men get the most by doing the least. What a relief, then, that Ijeoma Oluo does not coddle anyone in Mediocre. Criticism of whiteness devolves into excuse making about “economic anxiety.” Whether we rebel against white men or serve them, their feelings are the most important thing in the room. The discourse of “toxic masculinity” roots itself almost entirely in violent men’s feelings, insisting that if they could only open up and learn to cry, they’d stop oppressing people. Yet, even for progressives, “understanding” frequently turns into coddling. The inner life of the angry white American man has become a subject of much discussion in recent years.
