One thing I always want to ask these masculinity entrepreneurs is why men can’t look to women as role models, and can’t see in women models of human virtue and thriving that are worth emulating. After all, women look to men for these all the time.
Sure, Galloway is better than Peterson
But he still believes the natural order of things requires men to be supreme. Men must protect, provide and procreate. It's dressed in progressive language, but it's fundamentally a patriarchal box to trap men in

The entire Internet's been enshittified. Your problem is with capitalism, not some stranger posting a screenshot of what music they listened to on an app this year.

What’s concerns me… We are still talking about power as the defining trait of masculinity… We need to be talking about virtue

No-strings-attached, zero-means-testing, no-questions-asked cash payouts have been proven, over and over again, to be the most effective form of charity/aid going.
It gets people in housing, and it saves the state money. We know this. It's fact, not theory.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Correct!
Generations are fake.
They really went and slapped a "born between 1965 and 1980" banner on top of Douglas Coupland, b. 1961, explaining how he wrote his book defining his generation

While everyone is debating whether the second strike was legal, let me point out that none of the first strikes were legal. If a foreign government started blowing up US boats, killing Americans, in international waters, that would be illegal. The US would consider that an act of war.

White men are especially awful. I also would choose the bear
White men are especially awful. I also would choose the bear
in my experience men will also say awful shit to another man they just met, unsolicited, with the full expectation of agreement. there was a period where Uber drivers would start expounding to me on the Evils of Women about eight minutes into an LAX run
I go to more places alone now (bars and restaurants) and unintentionally eavesdrop on a lot of conversations and I just gotta say that men say really weird shit to eachother when they think no one is listening

I am begging people to tip service industry workers this weekend.
Bc people haven’t tipped I can’t buy groceries or pay my phone bill. I’ll barely make enough to cover room and gas for the week.
We work ourselves to the brink during the holidays to be treated like shit.
I shouldn’t be like this

A couple years ago I made gift idea posts and some people enjoyed them so I'm bringing it back.
So today for the first post of "Karen's Favorite Things"
I love these Biolite solar lanterns.
They are good for campers, outdoors people, backyard patios, emergency kits, power outages etc.
