For good luck right? Right? It’s not gay if it’s for good luck? Right?

Used to live in a street with 7 barber shops, in a town known for drugs smuggling. It was safe to walk there at night though surpisingly.

Damn. I’m sorry this happened to you. 7 years in the fuckzone is awful.

Just mentally all over the place!

“Men literally only want one thing, and it’s disgusting!”

“Then wash it!”

Hasn’t this always been the case? Men flocking to an idolized image of masculinity with a sense of superiority over women?

Or tell you to “keep the peace.”

Used to go on vacation a couple of times to a place that smelled like car exhaust. So everytime an old truck passes, it takes me back to summer, beach, nighttime stolls in a busy amusement park, hiking, barbequeing, playing in a river…

Depends on the type of bear I think. Brown bears might stand a chance, though most will probably f off.

I wonder it it has anything to do with having stubby legs.

Fr. A male friend of mine got into make up. Nail polish and such. I notice men who do this, stick to safe black. I asked if he wanted more colour, and he did. I remember cracking being a thing back in 2008 or so. A great caviat to go from just black, to black with colour! Perhaps men could bring this back into fashion lol

The young men’s version of a facebook MLM group.

This is a perfect description of the male and female meta. It is why males are stronger. Not to protect or lead, but to control through fear and violence.

It’s a priviledge men developed a higher sensitivity to oxytocin to compensate for a lower expression of the stuff. Enabling men to give a damn about someone other than their desire to dominate. Men can love their partner, their family, friends, their pets because of this.

Chimps ain’t that lucky, and males would rather watch an orphan die from neglect (and eat it) than take care of it. The males are known to kill females for showing assertive behaviour.

Same goes for prolactin in the brain, that makes humans more monogamous and increases a desire to protect something you care about. It never was a male feature before, but it became one in humans. It even peaks after the baby is born and the father is exposed to seeing his baby. Over time, similar adaptations to the brains of pregnant women, are seen in father’s brains. Which is amazing.

Men ain’t that bad, but old habits die hard. Men are more aggressive, stronger, more impulsive and less afraid of consequences on average compared to women. Those who were better at avoiding male aggression, lived longer. Hence why estrogens play a role in stimulating brain development in areas essential to risk assesment, consequence sensitivity, resistance to suicide, thinking ahead, planning, reading emotions (of themselves and others), learning and memory, reducing own aggression, communication and impulse control. Giving women an edge in academical performance despite there not being a statistical difference in intelligence. (Imagine if men had these boons instead…)

While all those obvious “big scary male” traits in men makes them seem like a bigger threat, women are well equipped and know how to dominate and eliminate people indirectly.

Nice to see siamese twin representation.

If anything, it is just nature. We are all related. Every fish swimming in the sea, every herb you add to your food, every bone in the ground. We are all related, and we all follow the same rules. Determined by limited resources.

Adding to this. HMI’s change across time and what feels logical/intuitive/common sense to one demographic, might not to another.

I agree, but I also fear religious people. Religion has time and time again interfered with people’s autonomy.

It still does to this day. Women in Oman, for example need a man (even if it is their son) to approve of her surgery. A woman needed surgery, but had no male relatives closeby to approve it for her. It was an emergency. Thankfully it was approved, but required a lawyer.

Christianity isn’t any better where I live.

Religion is fine on a personal level, but dangerous for everyone on a larger scale.

Yeah. It’s good to see men’s support groups form here and there off the internet. Some real support that isn’t baiting men into radical views.
