You not liking feminist terminology doesn't make it an invalid interpretation /shrug

I’d say it’s the complete lack of any sort of scientific rigor around that interpretation that does that, tbh.

As opposed the scientific rigor of what? If we're talking broad social archetypes, we're talking philosophy, not science.

While confidence is something that is present in everyone, only one group of people are encouraged to display it.

I'm not about to accost you for my self enforced lack of appeal, I just like dumb hats for another dumb reason" sucks.


More than one girlfriend or expression of interest far, far above my weight so to speak by not trying to hump their leg because of their features. Strangely enough, and this is not a panacea because women (I don't have to tell you this) are a mass of individuals with individual desires wants and reactions etc, if you don't constantly go, "So when you gonna let me at those giant breast" you eventually get access to those giant breasts. And all you have to do is engage with them as a person without agenda and appreciate them as an individual. Bonus points, even if it doesn't grant you access to their fruity pebbles, you got to know someone as a person and made a friend which should never be undervalued in this world.
Whaaat the fuck are you talking about?


Honestly man, I have no idea. Kinda was hoping to earn my DOS by saying something fucked up. But I don’t appear to have broken any rules with this shitstorm tirade.

I mean, the original founder of the incel group eventually moved on, got out there, and outgrew her need of the group.

Can’t save everyone, but they’re probably not all lost causes.

Yeah. True. I have fashion friends who showed me that it's all the fault of this one dude and, contrary to what I would have thought, the "Dandy" movement. The best part of learning all that was that there was a thing called "The War of the Dudes" which is an awesome name regardless of what it is, but it turned out it was two socialite motherfuckers who ran themselves into poverty out dressing each other but in muted ways when prior to this dude (in the old sense of the term and not the cool current California sense) men of society at least wore all sorts of fancy ass weird shit and it was cool. I can't remember the guy's name but if you work back from "War of the Dudes" you might be able to find it. It's fucking nuts. Rich people...

The one dude you're thinking of it Beau Brummell, who said that men should only wear black or blue suits and ties ("Ornaments fashioned around the neck"), and everyone agreed with him... for some reason.

Can't find anything on The War of the Dudes though.

It's an invalid interpretation because it's using a term that is exclusively reserved to blame men for their own problems.

Yeah, except it makes a lot of wrong predictions, and even contradicts all the social science around race, which everyone just ignores.

Also, you can unironically publish Mein Kampf as intersectional feminism and make it pass peer review.

Definitely. Though the problem is how I normally dress I'm fairly androgynous, even when I'm wearing my Kilt.

Then just do it anyway, enjoy your hat, be free to wear headwear.

That's the one! Fucking dick. I mean, I also would hate the societal pressure to dress all the way up in the same way I hated brand fucking in the 80s, but I'd like to let my freak flag fly a little higher without it being a fucking invite to comment like I was a walking open mic.

I understand your sentiment here, but I think it misunderstands fundamentally that toxic masculinity addresses a systemic problem as opposed to an individual one. It's easy to see it as man-blaming, but truth be told, men are victims of it too. And while it'd be easy to say that "women's rights will make it all better", it's obviously more complex than that. Instead, working with men to reach a healthier masculinity and feminity will be beneficial to everyone. At least, that's the way I see it.
