Straight Pride is stupid and unhelpful as a serious effort in the same way that "Men's Liberation" is.

You can not win a battle with Leftists by accepting their dialectic and trying to play an Uno Reverse.

Straight Pride can only be understood as an anti-parallel, affirmative, narrative: "I'm proud of being a providing, protecting, and centering father for my inspirational, restorative, and empathetic wife, so that our relationship can turn my boys into good men, and my girls into good women."

"Pride" as in being an advocate for your identity politic does nothing to undermine the Leftist framework that you are choosing to play the foil in.

Then you'll get a reply about some Based Homosexual Married Couple in a healthy monogamous gay relationship, raising their boys to be good men. "Why it gotta be straight though?!"

Well, the question was explicitly about straights.

How about calling it "being normal pride" or something similar? Anything to remind them that they're degenerate weirdos and try to force them to rationalize their own position. I know it won't work and they'll just scream things like "bigoted ist-aphobe", but at least it will annoy and it's better than letting them determine the rules of engagement.

You can't be proud of being average. The reason pride is a sin is because when you are proud of mediocrity, it is simply narcissism, and an abandonment of trying to improve yourself. You should only be proud of excellence.

I get what you mean. It's just that my point wasn't to actually celebrate mediocrity, but rather to point out that they're freaks and degenerates.

Uno reverse is a small tactic useful for shutting up morons, but no, it is not a grand strategy capable of taking us to victory.

It's like: "Nice meme, but there's a war."
