    The Feminine Perspective against the Manosphere

    Btw just wanna note that there's an episode of Star Trek TNG from ~30 years ago where they go to a planet of non-binary - or perhaps agender would be a better word - people that has clearer and better take on gender identity than this jumbled reductionist mess of a theory (luke is right, fancy...

    The Feminine Perspective against the Manosphere

    Alrite, I've been sucked in one last time bc this absolute untruth can't just stand This dude clearly means well, so let me try one last time to get thru Multiple different people have directly said it multiple times Reducing all human culture - or more accurately, behavior (culture being a...

    The Feminine Perspective against the Manosphere

    I'm with @jenks, your basic premises are flawed, and there's no point in talking more if you can't even list the basic criteria you're using to classify things, what's the point of talking more? masculine people don't need to act feminine. they just need to not devalue femininity. acting...

    The Feminine Perspective against the Manosphere

    it does really seems like that to take that notion seriously, tho it is a little bizarre to see a someone whose entire identity seems based on being a man promoting femininity self-identify as "lesbian" and "sissy" lesbian seems like pretty much straight-up appropriation the sissy thing is I...

    The Feminine Perspective against the Manosphere

    jenks and subvert basically outlined my thoughts I don't think anyone here - outside of the redpilled RW contingent, anyway - would argue that femininity is devalued (a better way of putting it than underrepresented, I think) what I, and I think other ppl, have an issue with is the fundamental...

    The Feminine Perspective against the Manosphere

    I saw this and was like right, that checks out, the idiosyncrasy, enthusiasm, and total conviction in one's rightness who among us hasn't been 20 years old and utterly convinced of our own rightness? then dude was like "I have a PhD and I've been formulating this theory for 10 years" and I was...

    RISE by EXTREME

    didn't watch any of the reaction videos - hard pass - but I see the 1st one is by Herman Li of Dragonforce, a band whose entire thing is playing as many notes as possible as fast as possible. like he's basically the living embodiment of shredding ZFI. if I remember right he actually has a...

    RISE by EXTREME

    alrite, shred rating it's...fine. the song itself is pretty terrible but the main culprit is the unbearable vocals and the general nu-metal meets Stone Temple Pilots vibe, with a dash of metal (pinch harmonics, double bass fills, etc) tossed on top. obv he's extremely proficient and it's not...

    The Feminine Perspective against the Manosphere

    of all the randos over the years, truly one of the most memorable I half-think it's an AI someone has trained to spit out mashups of gender theory. truly bizarre.

    The Feminine Perspective against the Manosphere

    how is repeating the silliest, most regressive stereotypes about men, women, masculinity, and femininity going to help anyone? like, this is Men Are From Mars Women Are From Venus level gender essentialism. "women are receptive" is straight out of the Victorian era. it's a take that could come...

    US Election 2024

    Sidenote: do you - hmg or whatever you call yourself these days - ever get tired of simping hard and nonstop for RW American politicians who could not give less of a fuck about England? It just seems so tiring to endlessly and slavishly parrot every RW talking point about a country you don't...

    US Election 2024

    Learn to read, boss The claim wasn't that no POC voted for Trump. It was that a more racially diverse electorate almost certainly favors Democrats, outside of specific circumstances (i.e. Cuban-Americans in FL). Trump's coalition was 85% white. Biden's was 61% white. A large difference, you'll...

    US Election 2024

    The metanarrative of American electoral politics is that RW have seen the demographic writing on the wall for a long time and are doing everything in their power, short of open civil war, to subvert it i.e. white voters w/o college degrees, almost synonymous w/GOP base, are losing voter share...

    I did a longer take in some thread or other about all her terrible policies as a DA and then AG in California, the tldr being that she epitomized the most cowardly end of Democrats who try to preemptively answer the inevitable GOP soft on crime attacks by going out of her way to enforce a slew...

    The Republican War on Transgender People, Drag Queens, and Queerness in General

    It's hard to even articulate the boiling rage this fills me with. The abject cruelty and complete lack of basic human empathy. And that's before you even get to the religious fanaticism, or alternatively, amoral cynicism driving it all.

    The Republican War on Transgender People, Drag Queens, and Queerness in General

    In other news, a trans friend of mine who lives in Florida just lost her access to HRT. She says it's the same for almost all of her friends. From what I've seen, something like 80% of trans Floridians are at risk of losing reliable access to hormones bc of the new anti-trans laws going into...
