If you can’t go that extra step and say why you should be doing said thing then you need to re-think whether or not it needs to keep happening.

For instance, I can say “hell, who doesn’t want to see my Grandmother tell Grandpa he’s ‘full of shit” 3456 times in one sitting?” in defense of Thanksgiving dinner.

I can’t quite come up with a solid response to why half my family is a bunch of bigoted twits.

For example, my family “traditionally” gets together for Thanksgiving. Every year. If my brother-in-law decided that he wants to go to Vegas this year, I would say he is breaking tradition and he should get together with the rest of the family.

In your world, his answer would be “Tradition is why we have Racism Chris, so I’m heading to Vegas baby!!!!”

Basically, what I am saying is that you can’t make a blanket statement that everything rooted in tradition is wrong because of racism and misogyny. That’s ridiculous.

In addition, I’d like to see batters be required to stay in the box during at bats. You may only step out of the box if you swing the bat. You don’t need to perform a 5 min ritual readjusting your cup, gloves, helmet, pants, shirt, and give an interview on your favorite ride at Disney after every pitch thrown.

For the dummies…
