I've heard drum circles can be pretty fun.

PJ boy. My quick internet search didn't provide an immediate pic of him sitting alone, so I used that meme.

sounds like Felicia needs a safe space from all this triggering male behavior

The Raspberry Beret donut to honor Prince was Out ****ing Standing.

All joking aside this is true and it's a huge problem, so many boys are raised with no fathers in the home and are coddled by mommy.

yep that's definitely the fault of divorce laws and coddling mommies, not deadbeat loser dads

correct, 100% of divorce is the result of deadbeat loser dads who beat their wife and kids till dinner is done to perfection.

every last one of them.

Sounds like some old timey Fruedian psuedo-psychology bull**** where everyone is doomed to be forever a victim of their own childhood.

That's how wussies think imo. A real man doesn't give a **** if he had a good childhood or not.

Maybe it's less about a bad childhood and/or junk science and more about if you haven't stood up for something by the time you're 13, you're probably never going to? IDK.

OP has only half a point. She should look at society as a whole and consider how M and F roles have changed over the past x decades, and how western women have also changed. Maybe that hasn't been totally to the satisfaction of men?

I have a female friend with an 8-year old son and the Dad is not really in the picture. She is a "great" mother by traditional standards. Takes good care of the kid, very loving, etc. But is way overprotective and coddling and will do the whole "oh my poor baby!" routine any time the boy picks up a minor scrape.

Anyway, I saw the 8-year old playing soccer with his 4-year old cousin and at one point they both kicked the ball at the same time and the 8-year old falls down screaming and crying and mommy rushes over. It was one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. My parents would probably have disowned me if I'd done something similar.

There is almost zero chance that the kid grows up to be a non-wuss in adulthood, I fear the damage is already done. So yes, I would agree that our formative years have a massive impact on whether we carry the victim mentality with us for the rest of our lives. I think kids need to face boredom, need to overcome adversity on their own, and not have mommy or daddy there every second to kiss their boo boos or give them an iPad.

I feel pretty bummed I don't know the secret in having a thread instantly stickied. That's some big respect. It's making me feel very inferior.

thank you for sharing with the group. we hear your truth

I have no idea why they stickied it. Maybe because I had the balls to say what a lot of people are thinking these days?

Stop appropriating male culture.

I actually had no idea some guys sit down to take a piss in the middle of the night. Bet they kiss hookers as well! Doesn't bother me, but I find it pretty strange.

I think a lot of the sensitive 'wimpy' type guys these days are a result of the push for equality. The stereotypical old-fashioned brutish guy is as outdated as the stay at home, cooking/cleaning housewife.

A lot of guys don't want to be the stereotypical tough man 'because that's what men are supposed to be like.' I think they agree with the general idea that women shouldn't be expected to fall in line with old-fashioned ideals and in the strive for equality, have re-evaluated who they want to be outside of societal expectation.

Not to sound misogynistic or anything, but if you want equality for women (which I assume you do) you can't really turn around and expect men to follow a certain order. By definition, the two can't co-exist.

FU, I poast here whenever I want

Luckily there are still a lot of countries where the traditional male/female relations still exists, where OP can go to. I believe that in a lot of those countries you even get arrested and hung for being wimpy as a man

I want to be strong. And I am. And I want a guy also to be strong. That is not inconsistent. I want to work and earn my living and I don't want a houseman. I want to cook and keep my house clean and tidy, and I don't want a guy threw his dirty socks on the TV. I want to work-out and be in shape and I don't want a guy with hanging gut and a posture like he roots in front of world of tanks.

The only thing with which I am totally against the equality - spiders. I don't want to deal with spiders, I want a guy to do it.

I eat spiders for breakfast

My hubby hates spiders, so I am generally the one who has to deal with them.

Oy, the tree hugging prog SJW trolls itt have totally proven my point. I wonder if they will ever grow up? Naw, just move to Canada where now people who hurt the feelings of a transgender get a two year prison sentence. Kumbaya

So that's where all your anger comes from. Does your pussy husband at least let you step out to get a good dicking?

Oh, that is really hot. So tempted.

Not by me, I hope. I don't **** women. They're too soft and feminine. I'm a man and I **** men. Seems kinda gay to want a woman.

I **** myself because im the only one man enough for the job
