Those men’s groups didn’t get buy in either.

The problem I think, has always been the disconnect between use in social sciences and colloquial use though. Even in articles, I’ve seen the term used to mean everything from jealousy to lack of emotional regulation. Oddly that last one seems reinforcement of toxic masculinity rather than anything else.

A question worth pondering is why Game Of Thrones captured the imagination of so many of us living in the 21st century. What does our own medieval creation say about our society?

It’s probably because incel culture should probably be removed from the general conversation as if it is logical. It isn’t. It’s a reaction and a radicalization forum for the most part where men tell other men untruths about themselves and about women.

To some extent it’s because boys are still taught that their status is intrinsically linked to their ability to “couple.” We don’t teach that successful manhood comes from within.

I don’t think so. You rightly focus largely on how the burden is on women to protect themselves and I get it. It’s a moral hazard that women face. But the thing that every man deals with is as we’ve culturally decided men have no place in saying whether or not a woman should bear a child (this is fine), we created a…

Frankly in the 90's, social groups had a better understanding of their own self interest coupled with in the 90's, Bill Clinton was extraordinarily popular. Maybe people got spoiled by Obama, but being charasmatic/unblemished isn’t necessary if you’re voting your self-interest (see H.W. Bush and Trump on the R side).…

I’ll do my usual straight to the greys bit on this. I’m not sure why it’s shocking for anyone that sex workers are not OK with having their clients profiled or arrested. As is probably glossed over, the reason it’s so unsafe is whether the cops are arresting Johns or the workers themselves, they have to be in the…

While I agree with you, you are in some ways shooing away other people’s concerns on a topic that’s got actual data on it.

It’s all good.

Not really buying this. If it was about repayment to the victims, the money would go to the victims. It does not.

I actually find this very interesting. In a sense, my wife and I have sort of always embraced a sort of “lease with option to renew” mindset in that we are both committed to each other, but we’re not starry eyed that our partnership doesn’t come without cost to the other person. If she is with me, she is not with…

You’re kinda slow aren’t you? Bipartisanship isn’t really about “right”. It’s about preserving peace. You can choose to go moral crusader with it, but essentially bipartisanship is the agreement (that often DOES compromise the rights of others) that at any given point of history, behavior X is something a society will…

Jeff - DPS players SHOULD wait 30 minutes into the game. Do that enough times and if you don’t have the skill to play it well AND you’re not getting to play that often, you’ll probably switch.

It’s not really a problem unless people stop playing. By the looks of it, people are mostly fine with it.

Maybe it’s because I remember so many different variations of so many different concepts, but this just doesn’t suprise me. There was a period there when Overwatch was going through its toxicity thing and you saw people bail for PUBG because they were either having a good game or were starting over quickly (rather…

Honestly, I think it depends. I’m a huge movie nerd to the point that I actually appreciate legit film criticism. X Movie did this well, sybolized x/y/z, and here’s a cinematography breakdown. Those critics are there for people like me who have just watched a ton of film and like to analyze. I “see” what they’re…

Truthfully, doing that is a cop out. But frankly there are plenty of films out there where the criticism fails to even clear the extremely low bar of comprehension.

I’m going to have a different hot take. EnVyUs has been dominant for a while. esports is the only sport where its so keyed in on reaction time, it is very possible they are now being exposed by younger, quicker competition. Profit is 18. Seagull is 25.

I think the problem here (is probably what the Pro’s are also thinking) - Mercy.
