Why did you choose not to join Mensa?

Never in my entire life up to that point had I ever seen a collection of such smug, self-congratulatory wankers, because in 1984 veganism hadn’t emerged as an identity yet. That one meeting convinced me that this was a collection of mostly guys (there was only one woman) much more interested in eating cheese and fellating each other over how clever they are than doing anything interesting, so I never went back.

Back in high school, I qualified for MENSA on the basis of my SAT scores (690 math/750 English). I went to one meeting, and…

I realize it might be unfair to judge the entire organization from a single meeting, but it was so, so bad.

Why do people who aren't trans feel the need to put pronouns next to their name or picture? It seems so cringeworthy to me, to participate in that SJW paradigm of thought, like they are a spineless person who just goes along with the trends.
