Gender of the week

I created this column after seeing a meme on political compass calling the old grey haired man war mongeres in movies and tvs the greatest gender. Think JK Simmons as an angry army official, or any angry old gray-haired guy calling for war. I found this meme funny, and thought it would be a great weekly column

To be clear, this column is not meant to make fun of anyone, or criticize or support any movements. I have no studies in gender fluidity. I just thought this would be a fun quirky column. I support everyone and think everyone should live in peace and prosperity, no matter their gender or support for warmongering. I’m an ally to everyone, I would have 6 beers or gluten free ciders with any person regardless of their gender, sex, identity, or support for invading an alien planet.

Without further ado, please find my gender of the week below:

Friendly Old Guy with White Beard

 This week’s gender of the week is in line with Christmas and Hannukah. Hanukkah was the same week as Christmas this year, shout out to my Hebros. This week, we celebrate all people who identify as an old white man with a white beard. Think Santa Claus, a friendly Hasidic Jewish Rabbi, or Morgan Freeman. Gandalf the Grey would count, Gandalf the White might have too much of an edge to qualify. Congratulations to everyone who identifies as a friendly old man and has a white beard, this week we celebrate you!
