Fellow fuck up. Always gets people off guard.

okay, stop that bullshit. Being black doesn’t make you a criminal. There are tons of black people in the US who do not steal, rob, murder or whatever and still experience racism everyday. Being black is not an auto-function to crime. Are you even aware how racist it is what _you_ are writing? “oh he’s black, of course…

Damn, this is making me tear up. When I was young I went to an experimental school that brought together mostly white middle class kids (I was one of the only Black middle class kids) into a largely working class Black and Latino area (I think they had one white kid). What was an attempt at class and racial…

How exactly is she going to recognize that from the bench? She’s a judge, and is forbidden from making policy statements, especially from the bench, and is bound to maintain the decorum of her courtroom. Can you even imagine how she’d be ripped apart if she lost control of her emotions on the bench? She’s calling him…

Sorry, but I won't stop having sex with your sister.

Ok. Well I am a stay-at-home dad who supports a woman with a powerful career. I am demasculinized by men and women. I don’t beat anyone and I do all the housework. I have never committed a crime, but I probably do overcompensate by behaving inappropriately in other ways. I was just trying to make the point that…

I feel like I should resubmit my past taxes to better reflect my true marital status.

Sounds like she's trying to convince herself this more than anyone else.

They quite literally puffed themselves up on paper to compensate for feeling like pussies in reality.

So basically this study tells us that men are held up to specific gender standards and are punished when they do not meet those standards, so they will lie and overcompensate to remain in those standards. This is not gender specific behavior.

I think there’s a significant point here that you all are missing. There’s a huge social cost to boys and men for failing to meet gender norms. I’m going to guess that there’s pretty much no adult male who grew up in this country who hasn’t been the victim of violence at some point in their lives for falling short of…

except for the part where you said you’re single because guys do this

Masculinity is fragile by design. We tell men from an early age that they can only be men by fitting a very narrow definition. Then we tell them that they are in constant danger of losing their masculinity. We create something that is hard to gain and easy to lose.

Honestly the number of times I have heard a woman mock a man for being non-masculine in some way dwarfs the number of times I’ve heard a man mock another man for that reason.

It’s worth taking into account that the entire study group was Stanford students, thus, very young men in a highly competitive atmosphere. So, not really a diverse sampling. I suspect that had they done the same study with men over, say 35 or 40 (more secure in their masculinity, less touchy about who they or the…

That sounds less like some exertion of masculinity and more like irrational denial that his body unexpectedly betrayed him in such a fundamental way.

When life gives you Don Lemon, make Don Lemonade.

I hate how the kids are now shoving “gobbledeegook” up their butts. I’ll never understand today’s youth.

exactly. WOmen care about bodies. There’s a reason that men’s health etc are filled with the exact same body type every single month year after year. It’s not because guys like dieting or working out more than women.

I don't think Malala makes very good people look awful. She makes Bristol Palin look awful. The comparison is fair because both were thrust onto the (inter)national stage and chose to remain there. One is a global treasure, the other a waste of space.
