  • I reject the notion that men are “generally” terrible because generalizations are lazy intellectually bankrupt ways of othering swaths of people in a way that revokes any ability to fix the real problems.

    Men aren’t terrible inherently, it’s the overblown importance paid to stoicism, acceptance of low emotional maturity, ALIENATION LIKE YOU’RE DOING RIGHT NOW, and poor societal/cultural frameworks for men to seek the help they need that make a lot of men terrible. Men aren’t terrible, but the cultural understanding about what men are and do needs to change.

    Fascists are terrible because they choose every day to be fascists. Men are capable of being terrible the same as women - blame people for what they can change and do not, not what they can’t change.


  • As a gen z man who did not vote for Trump, supports the rights of people, and generally is a good person to those around me - generalist arguments like this are poison to your goal. Blaming every man from 14 to 29 (depending on who you ask) is only going to succeed in alienating those men who are not going to be unreceptive of your actual point.

    Age, skin color, gender, sex, sexuality, whatever the combination - blame people for what they do, not the circumstances of their birth.

    The Trump voting neo-nazi chuds can get fucked. Don’t lump young liberals like me in with those cult of personality dicks with lazy generalizations, please.




  • Man, this. I moved in with a friend to my first apartment like 10 years ago. With two more a couple floors down.

    Nowadays all 4 of us live in a big house together and it’s great. Sure there’s some conflict, but at the end we’re still friends and we can reconcile like adults. I’d move more of our close friends in if we had the space. We even briefly had a 5th housemate when he was between apartments and that was cramped, but still actually very nice.

    Good friends is the key - to me, this sounds great. I have plenty of friends I’d love to have this close, it might even be hard to pick “just” 6.
