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

I think the way to be a good man is to be a good person. It’s not actually all that challenging, at least conceptually.

You are correct, not being an asshole is objectively an easy thing to do. “Treat others as you would like to be treated” does not require a strong role model, it requires thought and self reflection, something people seem to be lacking.

What you are talking about is just a different flavor of the same bullshit. Any of these “influencers” who attract acolytes by combining some basic fucking common sense shit but presented as though it’s unique and insightful with garbage (frequently of the pseudoscientific variety, like fucking evo devo) is…

I can provide links that AOM is better. Example: https://www.artofmanliness.com/character/advice/when-is-it-okay-for-a-man-to-cry/

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 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…

Jordan Peterson can’t tell you how to be a good man. The Art of Manliness can’t tell you how to be a good man. They’re both just milder shades of the same normative patriarchical bullshit that Tate spews (though AoM is, at least as far as I am aware, much less awful than Peterson - I am happy to be corrected here, I…

I have watched/studied enough Jordan Peterson to know he absolutely does not teach boys to be good men. Other than telling them to get their own affairs in order/clean their room before judging other people’s lives, which can be good advice, but is incredibly vague, he makes boys feel like helpless victims who are…

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).

Well here comes the bullet in the form of my notifications about to be a trash fire. But here we go. If you are a young boy trying to find your place in the world, trying to figure out what it means to be a man, you aren’t exactly rife with good role models for it. No one tells you how to do it right, what being a…

Bottom line is, if Trump shot a man on 5th Avenue, the Republicans would blame Biden for not jumping in front of the bullet.

Hahaha!  I remember that conversation.  It happened many times between many groups of people.

I was part of a vanload of people taking a corporate field trip to one of our customers during the Obama years. One person was trash-talking “Obama phones” until one of my colleagues pointed out the subsidized cell phone program started during the Bush-Cheney Maladministration.

Don’t forget the Netflix subscription to watch all of the Obama’s shows!

Do they get Obama-phones?

And they’re going to make the high rises into a sanctuary city named “DefundThePolice Village”.

Did you guys hear Joe Biden is going to tear down several churches in Texas and New Mexico and build high rise condos, and illegal immigrants will live there rent free? 3 & 4 Bedroom Condos, pool, health club, concierge service, parking garage.
