bodleing2: Haha, there is a site called 'meetup' which has become very popular. It lists all the various social groups in your area and I did notice one of the groups was called, "Socially Awkward Group" with 78 socially awkward members....

In my area...?

Not that I'd be able to walk in there on my own. laugh

Similarly, at work we have a bunch of engineers.

They have Women's Engineers Society. Also Black, Hispanic, Minority, Handicapped, Disadvantaged, and I don't know what else.

So some guy tried to form a White Engineers Society and a Male Engineer's Society (all races and genders welcomed to join)...
But NO! That was deemed discriminatory! Can't do that, no way!

Sigh.

Maybe I'll for an Old Fogies Engineering Society. We're on the endangered list after all.

Maybe, the site is nationwide, you just type in your area and a mileage restriction. I was quite amazed at the diversity of the groups, some pretty strange ones also...laugh

That's discriminatory.

That might be because you already have your own society where you get to be the majority and in charge. It's called the field of engineering. hmmm

Maybe there's just one member in each mileage zone to ease the tension. giggle

The point is that it is not equal for all. Whether minority or majority, the rules should apply equally.

Maybe the Dysfunctional White Male Engineer Society?

iwil55: Abnormality (or dysfunctional behavior), in the vivid sense of something deviating from the normal or differing from the typical (such as an aberration), is a subjectively defined behavioral characteristic, assigned to those with rare or dysfunctional conditions. Behavior is considered abnormal when it is atypical, out of the ordinary, causes some kind of impairment, or consists of undesirable behavior. Who is normal or abnormal is a contentious issue in abnormal psychology.

But then, based upon your response, we know where your mind is...

'Abnormal' is not a word I've ever favoured, even when studying as an Applied Psychology undergraduate. It's a word I use rarely, usually in the context of something 'abnormal cells'.

'Dysfunctional' is a word mostly useful for humorous purposes, which is what I thought you were doing when you used it. Perhaps a little projection on my part (fnar, fnar).

I guess it's for the same reason that you never get blue shells or lightning bolts when you're in first place in Mario Kart.
