Bit of a generalisation right there
@The Lemon always
If guys weren’t always so thirsty they couldn’t be wrapped around fingers... and 9 out of 10 cards are stacked against women and were wrong for playing the one that we consistently have?
I mean that's only partly true
It's become more equal in recent years
But I'll agree women still have the worse time
But men often don't get the attention they deserve
Like 3/4 of suicides being men
Prostate cancer getting a fraction of the funding for research that breast cancer gets
Emotional openness and toxic masculinity
Toxic masculinity is a plague, I think it hurts men and women (men much more so)
Sadly biology makes us horny bastards, and yes it a great way to control us. Wish that wasn't true, but self control is hard for most folks.
Don't give me this crap about everything being loaded against you. I don't have any rights that you don't, and the world isn't fair to anyone!
I wish there was more done from all of society to fight it
I’m not saying you have more rights, I’m just saying some of the systemic challenges we have to face make it much more difficult for us to exercise our rights
EVERYONE has challenges, just ask any group of people...
Can I discuss this with you later? I happen to be a bit pissy at the moment (nothing you did) and don't want to throw the hate hammer by accident.
For when I return, please give me your definition of "toxic masculinity."
@Tyberius D deal, and I truly just want to discuss I promise I won’t throw a hate hammer at you even if I strongly disagree if you do the same with me deal?
I’m probably going to log off soon, but here’s my first volley at a definition:
Toxic masculinity is where a man or men are shamed for showing emotions or desires that don’t align with what has traditionally been labeled as masculinity.
Examples, not being able to express emotions including fear, sadness or insecurity.
Preferring a sweet drink over a beer, not enjoying hunting, or violence. Taking pride in own appearance, showing vulnerability.
Boys don’t cry, anything that a man could lose a “man card” for doing
Sure thing, I'm already coming down.
I wouldn't argue that's toxic, just traditional. I do think men need some form of self-identity, but there are a number of things there that I don't think have to be on that list.
I guess TM doesn't effect me because I have no problem doing things I want. I'm usually pretty happy to have a reason to tell someone to shove it.
Side note, if there is TM then I think there is also a Toxic Feminity. Great example, men can sleep around but the ladies shouldn't. Either we should all be able to sleep around or should exercise restraint.
I agree, I’m fairly sex positive and I get almost as much flack from other females as I do males for sleeping around
I think many girls are that way though because society has taught us we need to be good girls, if we’re not we’re worth less, we’re sluts, worthless etc
Lots of girls want to show they aren’t by putting down others that are to show they are different
It used to bother me, but that when I could count my partners on one hand. After I got to a 2nd hand that attitude changed for me.
Doesn't matter much though, only ladies that like me now outweigh me.
*Not reading all that* but i strongly disagree 9/10 cards are agenst women when women have MORE rights and even have it easier socially
Tf u on about more rights
Have to ask that as well
@TheNobody what rights do we have that you don’t ?
vote with no draft
domestic abuse aid
gov aid
funding ect
court baise
"A man commits rape if—
(a) he has sexual intercourse with a woman who at the time of the intercourse does not consent to it, and
(b) at that time he knows that she does not consent to the intercourse or he is reckless as to whether she does or does not consent to it,
and references to rape in this Act and any other enactment shall be construed accordingly.
The act also restricted reference to the alleged victim's past sexual history,[45][48] and provided anonymity for both parties.[45][49] Originally, the act referred to "unlawful sexual intercourse"; the word unlawful, intended to preserve the exemption for marital rape, was deleted by the 1990 act.[50][47][51]
Section 4 of the 1990 act defines "rape under section 4" as follows:[52]
In this Act "rape under section 4" means a sexual assault that includes—
(a) penetration (however slight) of the anus or mouth by the penis, or
(b) penetration (however slight) of the vagina by any object held or manipulated by another person."
rape laws
if you read that
in a really long way it says only men can rape
I wouldn't call those rights, privileges for sure but we gents have a few of our own.
like what
also yeah idk what else other than rights to call it ty
There are jobs we can do that women have serious trouble with (hard labor.) We have no old stigmas slowing is down.
thats cus of biology tho
not cus someone is out to get them

Well there hasn’t been a draft since Vietnam, and it’s largely been men fighting to keep women out of combat roles in the military.
I also think that if there was a serious epidemic of rape directed towards men, where someone was penetrating your bodies against your will as frequently as happens to females you’d be more understanding of consent laws
