You know... it strikes me that this fake empowerment of women bullshit is far more dangerous to women than men. "Here: you're a self-centered, stuck-up, know-it-all bitch who's physically and mentally out of shape... and that's GOOD! Revel in it."

Women, and men, would be better served thinking for themselves and making their own decisions. Seems to be the problem with damn near everything today. Who do we blame for this shit if not ourselves?

As a feminist, I largely agree with you on a lot of the masculinity stuff, Rip. We disagree in a number of important ways on the subject too, of course. Be boring if we didn't.

How is it that you folk over there do not have any suitable statesmen to run for President? I mean you have 200 Million plus people to pick from, and you put a man on the moon back in the 60's, how hard can it be?

[Mark Rippetoe]

I assure you that we ask ourselves that same question every single day.

As a feminist

Can a man be a feminist? I'm just asking.

Because the potus has become a celebrity and the election process has turned into American Idol. It's a shitstorm of those after money and/or those after fucking likes on facebook.

Sure. They would just need to hate themselves. Lots of people hate themselves.

It's not even mine. It's just a prop. Rented.
