Iād respond but Iām too lazy.
I gotta say, Iām surprised about the level of pushback i got over my comment. that was one of my more tame opinions tbh; that one is at least statistically supported.
Perhaps Iāll post a spicier one tomorrow so my phone doesnāt blow up overnight ![]()
Thatās a solid point
Duuude, that is so awesome!
I say post all the spicy stuff tonight so you have a good morning scrolling.
Fat shaming is a good thing and should be brought back.
Slut shaming would solve more problems than it would make.
Feminism is going to destroy the developed world through global male disenfranchisement and unfettered hypergamy, as it was designed to do from the start.
Bringing back bullying would probably help more than hurt. Too many people have never been hit in the mouth and it shows.
The US owning the world is absolutely ridiculous. Weāre sitting here with the kind of wealth and resources that the world should be bowing to us or united under us. The fact that it isnāt is absurd. Weāre too busy feeling guilty over conquering to do what we ought to be doing.
Women shouldnāt be allowed to vote if theyāre not registered for the draft. They also shouldnāt be drafted out of nicety⦠Iām sure no woman wants to suffer what happens to captured female enemy combatants.
White supremacy has really helped out the asian community. Latin immigrants are effectively the white middle class of 50 years ago, but theyāve been too busy soaking up the liberal agenda to realize the left isnāt on their side. White people dont need to apologize for slavery. Black people need to stop blaming whites for all their problems, and fix whats going on in their own houses first.
There is only male and female, unless klinefelters. Anyone saying otherwise needs medical evaluation, and anyone coercing others to think differently needs to be put down.
Iāll see everyone in the morning, lol.
Bravo

I havenāt actually mentioned any bands Iām subjectively massively fond of. Is this just based on the mentioning of Radiohead, and the depressed, lonely trope their music often gets described as?
Either way, I donāt see it as a criticism. I can enjoy music whether I think it should have the reputation it has or not. Just this weekend gone I was belting out Wonderwall on the dancefloor with 100 others at a wedding. I even sang along to a Coldplay song at one point. I think music can still be enjoyed even if it isnāt anything thatās shatteringly unique or clever.
Even banging some sticks on some rocks on an island would satisy me.
Whatās the fun if thereās only consensus
I saw a Slayer tribute band last month in my town named Show No Mercy (as you know, thatās the name of Slayerās first album). They were amazing. If I closed my eyes, I would have thought it was the actual band onstage, vocals and all.
That is correct.
My mom was a single mother, and a highly responsible one who worked like a dog as an ESL teacher full time and with an after school job on some days and on the home (job of two adults with kids), like literally in a constant state of work, chores, traffic, and errands for most of her waking hours. She never fell short on any responsibility raising us. She did a lot but she freely admits what should she could not do for two boys. Sheāll just say, āI couldnāt do it,ā regarding things men can do raising boys and this is exactly why she exhorts me to be highly involved in my sonās life.
As you know, there is a huge buzz about single mothers on the net these days (thereās even a Manospherian who seems to have an echolalic obsession with them). @jshaving What I donāt like is that there is no differentiation between women who are single mothers because of lousy sexual decisions and those with valid reasons (death of husband, infidelity, abuse, neglect, dereliction of duties). I know a very pretty, good, intelligent (pharmacist) woman who divorced last year because of emotional abuse and infidelity.
I can move this to the Miserable Man thread if anyone considers this a derail.
Iād qualify and say āphysical bullyingā
Which you seem to allude to.
Iām just not confident that young children/teens think through the possible long term material costs (e.g.,damaged chances of employment) of cyber bullying to both the bully and the victim since stuff on the internet basically lasts forever
I think he might be referring to tough love, ball busting, initiation, rites of passage, or whatever some men do to toughen up other men, not stuff that traumatizes them.
@Andrewgen_Receptors Can you expand on what you mean by bullying?
I grew up around (thankfully not too closely) a few violent, psycho bullies that most men couldnāt handle, because they were not violent and crazy themselves. Likely most normal people here wouldnāt be able to deal with them as young guys.
I donāt think thatās what is being referred to.
People need to have shame in order to feel it.
Start with the bullies.
But not too guilty to stop buying stuff.
Given that most women, like most men, wouldnāt qualify for the military regardless, whatās the point?
Yes. I think so too
Most of this would be classified as ābullyingā and be grounds for expulsion or lawsuits today
I do mean physical bullying, to also include ball busting etc. Not taken to extremes, but physical nonetheless.
Iāve been bullied before. A few times actually. I got in fights a lot as a kid. Most didnāt really have winners per se, but those ones didnāt leave marks either.
I lost 1 fight to a kid who was literally 100lbs heavier than me. I still remember seeing his fatass lady fist hitting me in the eye when i was on the ground. I picked up martial arts the week after. Most of the bullying stopped, so did the fights⦠until a few years later at maybe 15y/o. Kid kept messing with me all year, would repeatedly try to hug me (because he knew i didnāt want him to⦠or maybe he was gay, idk. I seem to get hit on by a lot of gay dudes). The last week of school he tried to do this shit again. Little did he know Iād literally just gotten my black belt the week before and had been training for nearly 5 years. I pushed him away and he came back swinging⦠well I kicked the shit out of him. Cops got called, they questioned me, i told them he wouldnāt stop trying to hug me and then the school wanted to ramp it up to sexual harassment lol. I didnāt stop them; Iād made complaints before. Funny thing is the school ended up changing their policy on fights after that⦠maybe that was my fault lol. But at least his football buddies stopped fucking with me afterwards.
Once the cops realized i was trained by the same guy that trains them, they realized i wasnāt in the wrong at all. His POS (single, divorced) mom stopped trying to āsueā us over his $150 phone i managed to break when i either kicked the side of his leg (dead leg style) or threw him on the ground.
Anyways, i only got into a small scuffle during a bar fight while i was a bouncer after that. Had i not been bullied, idk how i would have turned out. But i like me the way i am.
I also lived in a small town. City bullies are effectively gangsters, or will be soon. Thatās a different story.
Well arenāt you a little nihilist this morning.
The point is to show that privileges arenāt free, and those who have them - typically misuse them.
Yes. I think so too
Most of this would be classified as ābullyingā and be grounds for expulsion or lawsuits today
Right.
There has also been an eradication of nearly all male spaces. Unfortunately, I believe many young men donāt even want such spaces as they are suffering from Mommy Syndrome.
If I continue on this I will move to the Male Misery thread.
Black people need to stop blaming whites for all their problems, and fix whats going on in their own houses first.
In addition to that, White people need to quit being racist and recognize their own implicit biases.

I would like to think this was sarcasm but since itās you Iāll say, physician heal thyself.
