I should point out I don’t have any problem with genuine women’s rights. But like all these identity movements nowadays they’re infested with radicals.

I think that militancy and fanaticism have a strong pull on something in the human psyche. Black and white, good and evil, us against them. That kind of thinking fills a primal need. That place used to be filled by religion, but religion is dead, or at least out of style.

Even though I think it’s a good idea to keep masculinity in check this video was cringe-inducing. It also panders to American women (who are the ones most likely soo see it) who may have been reassured by society into thinking they are perfect in every way in anything they do too much already.
Allow me to explain the first part of my sentence. I think many guys will blindly follow certain ideas dogmatically because it’s a guy thing. Even in something like gun control. How much of the opposition to gun control is due to guys not wanting to look unmasculine? I’ve fired lots of weapons and it was hard for me to get over the idea that gun=manliness.
Or some guy says Transformers is great because there’s a hot chick in it. You don’t care? Fag!
Watch porn instead I say and then watch a movie that makes sense.
Sometimes I order a salad at a local restaurant…hey, I need veggies…and some coworker will say something like I must suck cock or whatever. Fucker’s from Texas though.
That’s only a little pet idea of mine and not very coherent…so don’t give me too much shit about it.[/quote]
BEST POST.

I believe it’s called the myth of pure evil, and has something to do with a hormone called oxytocin being released. Same hormone is released when we associate with family (it’s very high for women after pregnancy) and other groups, and probably has something to do with the storming, forming, norming stages of team building.

Tell me that gun isn’t supposed to be a cock.

Form follows function.
They’re both meant to deliver projectiles to a distant target.

I just want to apologize for all the women I’ve personally raped, murdered, enslaved and/or burned at the stake.

Dear, dear man: no.
There’s actually a lot to agree with in that, but I live my life in the one-on-one, so I’ve long acknowledged the confusion and mixed messages and my own confusion over gender roles, so have no need of spokespersons. I haven’t raised sons in anger or proclaimed myself a goddess, etc.
Just watched the Will Ferrell Video - it was pretty funny.

I didn’t actually watch it all. I watched the bit where they were thanking me for loads of stuff, said “you’re welcome”, then turned it off, ha.
I was wondering if they are the wives of the Dear Woman guys.

Dear Man:
We Women appreciate the totality with which You Men have accepted Our heartfelt gratitude. We honor the grace of Your forgiveness, which is a clear reminder to Us that contained within You is not just masculine energy, but also the sacred feminine. While We embrace and celebrate masculine energy it is clear that We, and here I include You because I know We are of the same mind on this, prefer feminine energy.
We are to be lauded for opening this important dialogue with one another, dear Man, because through communication comes understanding, particularly when using these odd and stilted tones to express sincerity.
Yours very truly and with vibrant platonic love,
Woman
What if these were made for more specific demographics?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say a very, very minor portion. Like, low single digit percentages.

Correct
The whole “muh penis” fallacy gets blown the fuck out when people actually look at reality and not silly Hollywood forced narratives.
I’ll be sure to mention to my wife the “cock like nature” of her revolver when I get home.

Agreed.
I am not a very trusting person in general, but when someone tells me “guns for me but not for thee” we are hitting rock bottom.
Also, I no longer have the stamina to carry a policeman around 24/7.
