Now. At this state here where we all know what's up do you guys think maybe it may be a good idea to just totally ignore all this crap and continue operating above it? I'm not saying I don't get a kick out of it but maybe the younger guys are going to take it too much to heart and it's going to actually hurt their game/success.
I second that. I love this forum but I've noticed a side effect since joining has been taking on abit of a darker, cynical view that actually I dont think is empowering. When everyone is bitter, it's hard not to absorb some of that yourself.
Maybe it's better to post empowering masculine stuff than keep focussing on the negatives... since we're talking about real masculinity, what is the empowered, masculine thing to do when you come across an article like this?
IMO it's to kinda laugh heartily at this stuff, maybe even have some compassion for what's underneath it (i.e. this guy got castrated somewhere along the line, and feminazis got wounded pretty deeply at some point to become that angry and unhappy), and then dismiss it and go about your business.
I'd like to see more of a focus on awesome, healthy masculine resources rather than examples of this stuff or the constant war of extremes (feminazis vs "fuck-you-bitch" manosphere backlash). Im happy to contribute some stuff.
