Nope. It's gone too far. Lunacy is now mainstream. People chant Jeremy Corbyn's name. Men might be women. The police paint their cars gay.Quote:

Someone really needs to get hold of the police by the scruff of the neck and kick their arses from Land's End to John O'Groats.Quote:

What I don't like is for example last night I had newsflash of a siege in a bowling alley. I quickly was annoyed when I found out it wasn't allans and I had wasted my time clicking on it.Quote:

Fair enough. It's not pride that leads me to avoid such content, but fear of excruciating discomfort.Quote:

Apart from anything else, it contains a redundancy because what the users of the phrase actually mean is that masculinity in its commonly and historically understood sense is - by its very nature - toxic.Quote:

IF YOU'RE WRONG AND I POINT IT OUT, LOVE, THAT'S NOT 'MANSPLAINING', IT'S 'EXPLAINING'! AND IT USUALLY HAS TO BE DONE BECAUSE YOU'RE A BIT THICK. ACCUSING ME OF 'MANSPLAINING' DOESN'T MAKE YOU ANY LESS WRONG OR ANY LESS THICK!

It already exists. They're called 'TERFs' (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists).Quote:

Much, I imagine, as black people would react to a white bloke covered in boot polish explaining the black experience to them.
From the evidence presented so far, he's a **** and no mistake.Quote:

Thus masculinity is realigned to suit feminism, men must be reconstructed in a way that suits women.
Well that is ****ing horse**** and, given the assumption that we are the evil agents of oppression, why would we agree to it?
The cancer at the heart of the last 30 years of feminism has been the narrative that men made the destruction of entrenched gender roles necessary. It ignores the fact that men are just as trapped in their entrenched roles and at no point has feminism acknowledged or tackled this. The inevitable consequence is a society of imbalance, as only one side of the balance is addressed.
If we are toxic it is because feminism poisoned us.
Its beyond that. They are some form of novelty act. A kind of urban/rappy version of the Darkness. Or Bob the Builder.Quote:

Essentially, though, this is the nature of identity politics, isn't it? It must define the 'enemy' as evil in order to sustain itself. Thus, inevitably, the straight, white, anglophone male is absolutely at the bottom of the inverse pyramid that is identity politics and must abase himself and apologise abjectly for his very existence before even being allowed to speak.Quote:

Yes. Unfortunately, or perhaps through design, they raised a generation of women who are utterly self-centred and are unable to accept any form of accountability for their actions, preferring to play the victim.Quote:

The most irritating thing is that as a straight male you have to actually live with them. The gays dont know how lucky they are.
Interesting side note: For much of last week when people were saying what a shîte name for a storm Brian was and things like 'Whoever heard of a scary Brian?', I was busy referring them to Brian Boru and the Battle of Clontarf.Quote:

They appear to espouse the defence of the muslamics and the feminism stuff; when quite clearly the two are polar opposites.
So, it is ok to repress women if your a muslim bloke. Is that right?
I wouldn't mind being blamed for everything if I'd actually got to do a good amount of oppressing, tbh. But I'm not aware that I ever have. I've never been allowed to own slaves, run India, sell opium and guns to half the world, shoot Aborigines or red injuns or treat women like chattel.Quote:

Your forefathers would probably criticise you for allowing this to happen.Quote:
