Seriously the list of negative emotions you're not "allowed" to have if your life is supposedly objectively not as hard as someone else's life is enormous And people are really huge assholes about it And Matt Taibbi is right, it used to be much more okay to be a public asshole

Call everyone who's single without kids a lazy spoiled child who's not ALLOWED to feel tired And, mysteriously, have this aimed at women way more often than men ("Try saying that to a struggling mom, missy")

It's not symmetrical but it feels a lot like dudes who join the Army "so my dad would finally shut up"
