Bog roll, literally.

I was right there with you, a thousand miles away.

Sorry, that version of Firefox only comes on CD-ROM for Windows 98.

A tight grid beats getting lost in barely two dozen tabs at a time, scrolling horizontally and having no idea where it begins or ends. You'd need a thousand tabs in one window to take up even 500px vertically.

Okay, great. Can I have tab rows back? On top? Where the tabs go?

mindbleach , to Men's Liberation in The Perception Paradox: Men Who Hate Feminists Think Feminists Hate Men

The funniest form of this rampant underlying bigotry is transdudes recognizing something got easier because they pass.

mindbleach , to Men's Liberation in The Perception Paradox: Men Who Hate Feminists Think Feminists Hate Men

The rare wackadoodles proposing an asexual lesbian commune are simply not who most people are talking about, when they mention feminism. Those loons can wear the label. Nobody can stop them. But they're not relevant.

Feminism is gender egalitarianism with an archaic name. When people denounce self-proclaimed feminists who don't agree with that, it's not fallacious bickering, it's active gatekeeping, and it's fucking important. Some clear boundaries are necessary for a movement demanding systemic change. Any political label can have a complicated history, and it's not somehow a contradiction to point to the fringe weirdos and say they were just plain wrong.

Oh, did you not notice? Diet Nazis are networking.

mindbleach , to LinkedinLunatics in Everything about this comment is cursed

Poe’s law is a bitch - and either way, this guy is not good at comedy.

mindbleach , to Star Trek in Discovery will be the first Star Trek show in half a century to end without a single Jonathan Frakes appearance

Phrased differently, “it has been 50 years since a Star Trek show ended without a Jonathan Frakes appearance.”

mindbleach , to Politics in Conservatives are warning about noncitizens voting. It's a myth with a long history

Not aided by putting their propaganda at the front of your headline.

God dammit.

mindbleach , to Men's Liberation in Can Parents Prevent Their Sons From Sliding to the Right?

What an open wound of a comment.

And not in any of the ways you seem to think.

mindbleach , to Men's Liberation in Can Parents Prevent Their Sons From Sliding to the Right?

Diet Nazis are the subject of the article. That’s what parents’ sons become, when they “slide to the right.” Your lack of clarity in pointless whining does not make my dismissal the problem.

Your lies about what you said in plain fucking English help nobody. You wrote: “you don’t believe sex and money have gotten more competitive over time?” You describe sex as a competition, in as many words. You directly conflate it with competition for money.

Regarding guys “getting girls,” you explicitly mused about “evening out that somehow.”

Stand by what you say or shut up.

I’ve never seen guys […] make out guys are pissy because they can’t get laid or because they are short.

You’ve been that guy, in this conversation. Examples in omnipresent media are so plentiful I’d be here all day slapping your face with them just to call you liar again. Have you ever watched a single action movie, boner comedy, or high-school drama? Try it some time, it’ll be a novel experience, if you’re not just obviously full of shit.

If you don’t care what words mean then I won’t care about you.

You put “rightthink” and “wrongthink” in your first sentence. Don’t whine about an Orwell connection when you made it.

You don’t believe sex and money have gotten more competitive over time?

One, those topics are not related, and slapping them together is a tell.

Two, talking about relationships as nothing but sex, and also a competition, is depressingly transparent on a level I’m not sure words can convey. The fact you asked this question is damning. The answer is no, but the answer doesn’t matter, because it’s like asking about “Muslim birthrates” or “human biodiversity.” The framing itself is fucked. If you yourself are not a diet Nazi then you’re getting ideas from people who definitely are. Being human feels kinda broken, and someone offered a simple scapegoat that feels satisfying to hammer on, even though you know the implications are horrific: “I can’t even conceive of how that would happen.”

Describing access to vaginas as some kind of resource to be distributed is dehumanizing - and anyone suggesting you’re owed a woman is a fucking monster.

Three, concentration of wealth is intrinsic to right-wing economics. So congratulations on figuring out those suck. Shame your mouth’s still full of their dishonest takes about gender equality.

the left will say “it doesn’t matter about who is best what we want is more women, so all the male applicants can be ignored”

Arguments are easy when you just make shit up.

Toxic feminism is never talked about.

Because it’d be toxic femininity, genius. And of fucking course feminists address how stereotypes about women impact women - but the ranting Youtube manosphere dorks you seem to get your information from do not understand the concept. They think pushing girls toward pink and frills and cooking and babies is good, actually, even when it’s exaggerated to exclusionary extremes, and girls who don’t do that suffer ostracism and mockery. That’s the exact mirror of boys suffering when cliche masculine associations are twisted into unyielding demands… usually at the hands of other boys.

No feminist is out there telling boys to get laid or they’re a failure. That’s y’all. You do that shit - as you’re doing in these very comments - and you scoff at the label for it, because you don’t like how it sounds.

A rose by any other name would have just as many pricks.

mindbleach , to Men's Liberation in Can Parents Prevent Their Sons From Sliding to the Right?

“Son, don’t be a Nazi.”

“OMG literally 1984.”

Sex has gotten horrifically competitive with some guys getting laid loads and some guys not getting any.

Borderline incel horseshit.

Theoretically evening out that somehow is probably better for society

Nevermind, outright incel horseshit.

I am left wing, probably very left wing. But the way the left act is pushing a lot of people to the right.

I’ve heard this a lot - almost always from smirking fascists. The sort who think the left do anything but discuss. They talk so much they get nothing done.

Right-wing conversations are empty slogan contests, in a manipulative tone of voice. Like “original sin for being boys,” a fucking obvious strawman, commonly spat when someone describes toxic masculinity. Which is not a criticism of masculinity any more than “don’t eat poisoned apples” is a criticism of apples.

We need a party that is left economically but individually right.

Oh, like the Strasserites. Sincere anticapitalists committed to a strong national identity, right up until they were dragged into the street and shot on the Night of the Long Knives because they were fucking Nazis.
