  • Claiming that men/boys need to be separated because “they can’t control themselves”

    Where did I say anything even remotely like this? Point it out. Quote it.

    But you can’t, because I didn’t.

    Quit being intellectually bankrupt - quit putting words into my mouth.

    Men’s spaces is what allows men and boys to open up in ways they instinctively and unconsciously prevent themselves from doing when women are around. Males have an autonomic response around women that causes them to be more closed off, more resistant to criticism, and far less likely to demonstrate vulnerability to other men.

    Men’s spaces are what allow them to better learn from other men in a space that allows them to better learn more open and accepting.

    It has nothing to do with your vacuous and thought-terminating “incel” bullshit.

    They’re referring to beer that is limited to 3.2% alcohol by volume.

    Holy shit, it’s a real thing.

    Up here in Canada, you’d have to get a Radler to get anything 4% and under. I don’t think I’ve ever had a normal beer under 5.5%, and some of our beers go clear up to 7-8%. And I’m not even a drinker - I have maybe a single drink a week, and typically go months between drinks.

    I mean, sure, you can get the dealcoholized/0.5% stuff, but that’s like sex on a boat.




  • Deaths by firearm, per 100,000 people, are about 1/7 the number in Canada as it is in America.

    America has over 200 school shootings a year. 2024 saw a near record with 330 school shootings.

    Canada? 6 in its entire history. To get to the grand total of 9, you would have to include post-secondary institutions.

    If you truly want to “think about the children”, firearm control comes wwwaaaaaaayyyyy before banning books and taking away lunches.



  • Fun fact about owls: they appear to be intelligent with their large eyes and calm(ish) demeanour, but the ironic thing is that those eyes are so large that they don’t leave much room in the owl’s skull for their brain - owls are unusually stupid for their size.








  • Men don’t need men-only spaces.

    The easiest way to identify gender bigotry is to flip the genders in contention. If there is identical interpretations, there is no bigotry in play. If there is a massive difference in how they are each interpreted, there is a massive amount of gender bigotry in play.

    “Women don’t need women-only spaces.”

    That sounds totally different, doesn’t it? Almost… threatening.

    Now apply this to all the women-only spaces out there, like women-only gyms. Why should women-only gyms get to exist while men-only gyms get sued out of existence? Gender bigotry.

    This cascades down through the whole of society - DV shelters, shelters for single parents, initiatives of all kinds for the vulnerable and precarious, which for nearly all of them focus far more heavily, or even exclusively, on women even when they are in the extreme minority.

    So let’s strive for true equality - equal opportunities, services, and support for all. And if women have their own spaces, why not men? After all, that is what “equality” means.

    Except that seems to generate unfathomable rage from the female supremacists when it actually gets suggested, who do everything in their power to shame such ideas of true equality into oblivion.



  • I honestly don’t think third spaces on their own are the answer.

    And I would agree. Men in a group setting of only men will typically behave entirely differently than if you drop even a single woman into their midst. A man who is only among men will open up and behave and accept constructive criticism in ways that he will never do with even a single woman present. The change in behaviour a man exhibits in the presence of a woman is instinctual and unconscious, and is unable to be controlled or even moderated by the vast majority of men out there.

    Having male-only spaces is absolutely essential to allowing men to behave as they would without the unconscious/instinctual pressure they would be subject to with a woman present.

    Too bad these kinds of places are “misogynistic” in ways that women-only spaces are “not misandric”. The gender bigotry and hypocrisy in this dichotomy is blindingly overwhelming.


  • LOLOLOLOLOL!!!

    Imagine not wanting any hot women around.

    Classic MGTOW vibes here

    Imagine being the guy whose primary excuse to go to the gym is to “ogle hot women”.

    Yeah, you’re a real progressive guy.

    The sign of a man with experience is when he’s become sick of women’s shit.

    The woman I am married to - which BTW, makes me wholly ineligible for MGTOW status - is one of the few women out there I actually want to spend time with beyond social niceties. I have zero interest in the vast majority of women out there - regardless of “hotness” - because I have come to know how women in general act and react; what their motivations are and how they approach life in general. And that just makes me wholly uninterested in them.

    Don’t get me wrong, I will absolutely be polite and civil to women. I have absolutely no problem socializing with them and making them feel appreciated and valued as I would any human being, regardless of gender (or fractional thereof). I just have no interest in them as women.
