Even when a man is poor and at the bottom of society at large, within his neighborhood or family he’s on top of women and children so he still gets the benefits of toxic masculinity as well as its costs. I beg to differ that most men aren’t addicted to ways of escaping their lives (drinking, drugs, gambling,…

Even setting aside Austin’s blueness, I would dispute the characterization of Texas as “Deep South”. Texas is Texas. The Deep South, in my mind, is basically the Confederacy minus all or parts of its borders. So like, Alabama, Mississippi, northern Florida, southern Kentucky, Louisiana minus New Orleans, rural Georgia…

So true. They’re miserable yet want everyone to follow their path just so they don’t have to face the fact that buying into all that toxic masculinity bullshit was a huge mistake and robbed them of so many chances to be happy.

but I must say I am very surprised (and encouraged!) that such a program would exist in a Deep South school, the type of landscape where “football is everything” and all the worst types of toxic masculinity are most prevalent.

Almost the entirety of what i would consider to be “toxic conservatives” adhere very strictly and proudly to stereotypes. They work very hard to fit into the mainstream ideal of men…

UT is located in Austin, which is houses probably the greatest collection of liberals in the state. So this doesn’t surprise me one bit and makes me happy as a Texas Democrat!

Well, it is Austin, which is pretty blue for the most part.

Breaking: The Hill is lame as fuck.

They’re rich in Idaho.

Well, yeah, because since his dad is faking his billionaire status, how could Jr have gotten assets from him?

Somebody should have put Johnny in a time capsule in 1994 and left him there.

It’s for a ticket to Argentina and a couple months rent.

a 25K retainer seems pretty low for an entire extensive legal defense. I wonder if there is a lawyer involved at all, or if he’s just grifting and doesn’t have any idea what the real costs will be. Oh, and also, thoughts and prayers, you dick.

Rosacea from an overpopulation of demodex mites. He probably washes his sheets once a month.
