You get my comment of the day sticker. Seriously 50 Marvel films and 6 have a female lead and these sad guys say their toys are being taken away and they’re history ruined. This series is so fun, just give it a chance and enjoy :)
Why are douchebags so mad that the other 50% of the population is finally receiving its due? Have the scores of other all-male superhero shows/movies disappeared from the canon? Are they not still making superhero shows with male characters? Oh, they are, cool.
Sure. Why engage with an argument that makes you uncomfortable? And you probably consider yourself a free thinker.
“...for some people now the idea of a man actually being capable of being good and masculine is an impossibility”
“There are things we deal with, questions we ask of ourselves and discussions we have with our friends, that you wouldn’t be able to understand.”
I am a man, and it says something about you that you think “don’t rape and abuse women” and “don’t be a racist asshole” is “horrible advice” that “does not even come close to preparing a boy for manhood.” What the fuck did you learn growing up?
Man here! I can’t think of any “things we deal with, questions we ask of ourselves and discussions we have with our friends” that a woman would be incapable of understanding. In fact the older I’ve gotten I’ve found the opposite is much more likely to be true and, on top of that, women are usually the ones society has…
if you are to be a good person you must not be masculine
No one needs an instruction manual on masculinity. What Peterson and Tate offer are baroque justifications and self-deluding excuses for the insecure to indulge their worst impulses. They offer power fantasies, in other words, just like Captain America and Batman are power fantasies. They feel good, but they aren’t…
I didn’t say they were born filled with hate. These are teenagers, not infants or toddlers.
I don’t think we’re having different conversations. You said that someone could look to Jordan Peterson if they wanted to learn how to be a good man. I am saying that is wrong, not just that I don’t personally want to look to Jordan Peterson. Jordan Peterson can teach you how to be a pathetic, misogynistic, bigoted…
Your notifications deserve to be set on fire for the idea that “Jordan Peterson can tell you how to be a good man.” He’s a bigoted, misogynistic hack. (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/feb/07/how-dangerous-is-jordan-b-peterson-the-rightwing-professor-who-hit-a-hornets-nest).
I mean, the problem with your approach is that you’re essentially talking about pretending to be someone else. You can’t pick 10-12 characteristics and “make” yourself have them if you don’t. All you can do is fake it, and women aren’t stupid. If, beneath the behavior, you don’t respect women/don’t like to…
You could have 100 women write down 10 things they are looking for from their ideal partner, compile that data and create a list of 10 or 12 things that women are looking for, become the ideal embodiment of those things, make it your life’s work to make sure that you have those 10 or 12 characteristics, and you can…

So ironic. When I dated, I could have gone on first dates every night of the week for a month if I wanted to.
“How am I supposed to know what you like?! I’m not a mind reader!”
This is why it always cracks me up when manosphere guys try to use fear tactics on women, and tell us we’re useless without a man and need to lock one down quickly before we “hit the wall.” It’s such obvious fear-based projection. Finding a man is as easy as falling off a chair for most women. Men are the ones in…
Girls & women are not the only people raised that way, and as a gay male who was bullied into silence, and not taught how to stand up for himself, I actually went though many of the same experiences growing up. Obviously, Mena and I had very different circumstances, but I was also raped when I was 12. Everything that…
