The Manhood Trap

Publicly and vocally reject the radicals and make it clear they're being rejected.
So they need to attack British leftists on the internet viciously. And that will make young men vote for them? Why wouldn't they just vote for Trump, if those are their values? No matter how angrily and stridently Pelosi attacks Wokeness, she'll never be able to convincingly do that schtick better than Trump does. Look at Governor Newsom with his bullshit podcast, trying desperately to pretend to be a conservative all the sudden. No one believes him, and no one on the Right cares, because he cannot and will not go as far as real conservatives do in attacking trans people or immigrants or whoever. He'll always pull his punches, and that isn't what the Trump crowd wants.
I don't know WTF "British leftists" have to do with anything.

As for the rest, okay. The Democrats losing elections won't personally hurt me. Some of my Trump loving relatives will no doubt receive the rotten fruit of their choice, but again, I'll be fine.

You're certainly free to define things how you want. It won't matter what anyone else says because it would make you and those like you have to climb down off your idealistic high horse and honestly assess how we got here.

Finally, for the umpteenth time I acknowledge that the blame for the rise in fascism falls on organizations like Fox News (see dis and misinformation), functional illiteracy, and the GOP's acceptance of the very worst American society has to offer. OTOH, the Democratic Party has failed to rise to the occasion. Thus, my question still stands. If the Dems can't prevent a threat to democracy and if they can lose twice to the most severely unqualified POTUS candidate in U.S. history, then what are they good for?

Oh, at least Newsom is trying to lead the way to something different that could change election outcomes. He could continue to try the same failed things, but he isn't. He's acknowledging the failures of the party. That doesn't make him a conservative. It makes him rational.

I don't bother with Californian politics anymore than any other foreign place.

But I gotta say,
If both Poli and Swiz are criticizing Newsom for being insufficiently ideologically pure, and now Governor Goodhair is trying to reach out via podcast, maybe there's hope for this country that I love.

J.K. Rowling's spat, which you referenced, has mostly been with queer or educated residents of the United Kingdom, her home country, and concerned politicians from that nation.

You're certainly free to define things how you want. It won't matter what anyone else says because it would make you and those like you have to climb down off your idealistic high horse and honestly assess how we got here.
My "idealistic high horse"? By which you mean asking you to clarify what it is you want done or changed, as opposed to indistinctly whining about your ideological convictions? I'll take practical "idealism" over a politics entirely composed of rhetoric, implication, and emotional appeals any day.

Finally, for the umpteenth time I acknowledge that the blame for the rise in fascism falls on organizations like Fox News (see dis and misinformation), functional illiteracy, and the GOP's acceptance of the very worst American society has to offer.

On this, we agree. But I think they would be far better off championing their own party's position than pretending to be open to discussion on Trump's talking points. They aren't, and no one believes that they are, so all they end up doing is offending their own base without actually attracting any new voters over from the mythical middle. Democrats think the right wing can be non-commitally pandered to for votes the same way they pander to minorities. All things to all people, and promises toward none. It worked in the 90s. But that is not the national mood. Not on the left or the right.
 
I’m not certain that politicians in the US ought to use their opinions of a British children’s book author’s tweet as a political plank. I’m also not certain how you missed the Dem support of LGBTQ+ but apparently they don’t really care as much about JK Rowling’s tweets as you do.

It’s still unclear to me if you think that there is a difference between drunken sex that one or the other regrets and raping someone who is too drunk to effectively fight off an attempted rape. Perhaps you think that Gisèle Pelicot‘s husband had every right to do what he did and that in fact, she was a willing participant? Or perhaps you believe that college girls who go to parties on campus know what they’re getting into and it’s not rape no matter how strong or drugged the drink. Or perhaps you see college boys as being so sexually driven that it is to be expected that of course they will jump on anything they get a chance to. Of course rape is more prevalent for women 18-24 who are NOT college students compared with women of the same age who are college students. Perhaps you are one of those people who think that women are t really raped unless they were beaten bloody or had a weapon held to their neck. I can’t tell.

If it helps think of it this way: Two party goers each leave a party very drunk, and are not steady on their feet. One gets into their vehicle and starts to drive home. The other decides to walk home. The driver strikes the pedestrian with their vehicle, leaving the pedestrian with serious injuries.

The driver is still guilty of drunk driving, even if the pedestrian was also drunk.

I am not certain why you are blaming the Dems for Clinton’s impeachment. They voted against the charges brought by the republicans.

I didn’t care at the time and I still do not care if Bill had an affair while in office, or specifically the Oval Office. That’s between him and his wife. I did find Paula Jones’ allegations to be credible ( based on news accounts at the time). He was never charged in that case.

I don’t care how many times Trump has cheated on any or all of his wives. That’s between him and his wife ( whoever she is at the time of the affairs). But it is actually a crime to use campaign funds to pay hush money to anybody. And child rape is definitely a crime no matter your name or your office or the political party you belong to at the moment.

FWIW, I never liked Bill Clinton, did not see him as trustworthy ( nothing to do with his sex life) and never voted for him. I’ve also never cared for Trump, think he is dishonest and untrustworthy and has no morals at all. This has nothing to do with his sex life—it has to do with his very long history of being extremely dishonest in his business dealings, particularly stiffing contractors, and also over valuing properties to gain favorable loan terms, plus the long history of racism and sexism, and a general lack of character or concern for anyone other than himself. Those are not characteristics that make anyone a good holder of any political office. Plus he seemed to have a creepy obsession with his oldest daughter. I hope she keeps her children far away, for their sake.

I don’t personally think it is infantilizing women to say that sex with someone who is altered by either drugs or alcohol is unable to give consent. Being told they ‘wanted it’ is definitely infantilizing them and it also infantilizes men to believe that they are not responsible for their own actions with regards to sex and aggression. (See above for comparison of two drunk party goers). I believe that men and boys can be raped and can be raped by girls and women and that all rape is reprehensible, repugnant, illegal, and wrong. Full stop.

College campuses have an obligation— legal and moral—for the safety of their students. This can be very challenging at times as the bulk of college students fall in the age range where they are just becoming a bit independent, living away from home fir the first time and do not have outside forces insisting they study, keep good diet and exercise and sleep habits and either forgo sex or only have sex responsibly with consent and condoms ( plus other birth control where appropriate-two guts do not need birth control, for example). This is the biggest reasons college campuses restrict the use of drugs or alcohol on campus as both create dangers for students partaking as well as anyone else around them. Locally, every academic year, there are a couple of college kids who die of acute alcohol poisoning. I’m told by someone with connections to the local PD and hospital, that number is larger- and that these are hushed up as much as possible. A couple make it to the local news. It is a difficult line to walk to encourage young adults to become more independent while creating and supporting an atmosphere that helps keep them safe even as they engage in risky behavior and take more responsibility for their actions.

LOL more. For a guy that says "He's an insufferable prick." you seem to follow him quite a lot. Even listening to his podcasts.

Unrequited love, maybe?
 
All the men in my family loathe violence including myself. The idea of harming someone is repugnant to them. A few who have now passed on were WWII vets and Korean vets. All three admitted having taken life. The Worl War II vet saw the Germans he killed when having those visions dying people have before they go and my great aunt said all he did was keep saying "I apologize, Im sorry". One Korean vet uncles talked about the things he saw and did and always felt guilty about. He was over there before war started and always claimed the public was lied to about how it started. The other uncle said he was glad he killed only because they were going to kill him id he didnt them, but he said he regretted being put in that position and killing people was something he was sad about years later. My next door neighbor growing up was a ranger in World War Two. He was very close to my family and when little I asked him how many Getmans he killed in Germany fighting Hitler. He just looked down on my 5 year old self smiled and said that was not something to ask about or talk about. Then he gave me a piece of candy. Im glad I was never put in that situation to have to in a war

I dont think men enjoy violence or want to be violent anymore than most women do. Its just in the oast men were the ones socially and culturally expected to be so . Years ago a man tried to kidnap a child for molestation purposes and the mother caught him . Needless to say that mom made short work of him.

What they shouldn't be doing is driving away heterosexual young men, but they have been quite successful at doing it.

I'm gonna be 56 next months, so I can let all this bullshit hostility towards "heteronormative" males slide off my back. However, if I was a young man, I'd run from the Democrats and the radical morons running the party.
Academia too, as it is dominated by leftists.
This is a real poster from Coastal Carolina University.
i-saw-this-on-twitter-and-i-wanted-to-know-thoughts-on-it-v0-bmtyvtj682nc1.jpeg

Will our resident radfems defend this poster and the blatantly sexist message it sends?
 
What did James Watson and Francis Crick famously discover in 1952?​

To which, of course, the correct answer is:

Rosalind Franklin's notes.
As far as I recall, RF took the famous Photo 51, but it was W&C who deduced the DNA structure from it. I agree that women's contribution to science have been downplayed and dismissed in times past. But what we have now is equally wrong - to pretend that it was only women, and that men just stole their work. There is even a conspiracy theory that it was Albert Einstein's first wife who really developed Relativity. Because god forbid a man have an idea; that's unfeministic thoughtcrime!
[Wilkins] did earn a Nobel. Unlike Franklin and in fact went behind her back to share her images.
Crick, Watson and Wilkins won the Nobel Prize in 1962. Rosalind Franklin died in 1958, and only living people are eligible.
She did get a medical school in Chicago named after her though.
 
It’s still unclear to me if you think that there is a difference between drunken sex that one or the other regrets and raping someone who is too drunk to effectively fight off an attempted rape.
There is a huge difference, but unfortunately, colleges and feminists have been lumping them all together. What's worse, when both parties are drunk and have a mutual sex, the guy is deemed the rapist and the woman "too drunk to consent" even though they both did the same thing. See that CCU poster I posted.
Or perhaps you believe that college girls who go to parties on campus know what they’re getting into and it’s not rape no matter how strong or drugged the drink.
It depends. If they get drunk deliberately, and then regret their actions with equally drunk guys the next morning, then that's just life. That's different than somebody spiking someone's drink with some drug without their knowledge. Again, the "rape culture" nonsense and Obama/Biden's 2011 "Dear Colleague" policy change muddled the difference.
Or perhaps you see college boys as being so sexually driven that it is to be expected that of course they will jump on anything they get a chance to.
Young people be horny. And having consensual sex and regretting it the next morning, or next year (see Vassar false rape case) does not a rape make. Except in the minds of radical feminists. And even then, only to blame young men. Never young women.
Of course rape is more prevalent for women 18-24 who are NOT college students compared with women of the same age who are college students. Perhaps you are one of those people who think that women are t really raped unless they were beaten bloody or had a weapon held to their neck. I can’t tell.
So you admit that the claims of "college rape epidemic" were just scaremongering?
And as to the latter, no, that's not the only way a rape can happen, but it is certainly easier to prove that a rape happened in such a scenario.
If it helps think of it this way: Two party goers each leave a party very drunk, and are not steady on their feet. One gets into their vehicle and starts to drive home. The other decides to walk home. The driver strikes the pedestrian with their vehicle, leaving the pedestrian with serious injuries.
The driver is still guilty of drunk driving, even if the pedestrian was also drunk.
So, to you, a penis is the equivalent of a car? Both men and women can be active participants in sex, just like both men and women can drive drunk. There is no reason, other than radical feminist ideology, to treat drunk men differently than drunk women.
I am not certain why you are blaming the Dems for Clinton’s impeachment. They voted against the charges brought by the republicans.
He is saying that Dems these days act is a similarly stupid fashion as Reps did during the Clinton impeachment.
But it is actually a crime to use campaign funds to pay hush money to anybody.
A misdemeanor whose statute of limitations had long expired. Bragg had to resort to legal pretzels to prosecute that case, and it backfired since it made Trump more popular and helped him win reelection.
Speaking of Bragg, he gave a sweetheart deal to a stabbist murderer who has a history of knife crime.
Jaia Cruz admits stabbing postal worker to death in Harlem deli, gets 15 years
Woman accused of stabbing postal worker over spot in NYC deli line has history of knife violence
Cruz ranks high on the progressive stack - trans, "of color", Hispanic. Probably explains the short sentence (nominally 15 years, but will probably get out in less than 10).
FWIW, I never liked Bill Clinton, did not see him as trustworthy ( nothing to do with his sex life) and never voted for him.
Who did you vote for in 1992 and 1996? Ross Perot?
ross-perot-simpsons.gif

Overall, Clinton was a good president, although he made mistakes. Like siding with Shiptars over Kosovo and bombing Serbia.

I don’t personally think it is infantilizing women to say that sex with someone who is altered by either drugs or alcohol is unable to give consent.
It is when you apply that only to women and not men in the same state of inebriation. Also, millions of people have sex after drinking or doing drugs. There is a wide range of intoxication between stone-cold-sober and too-drunk/high-to-consent. Just because a woman was drunk or smoked weed or whatever does not mean she was too drunk to consent. And if she is, then so is he. So, mutual rape? What's sauce for the gander should be sauce of the goose too. But no, feminists like you do not think that. You think the woman is automatically the victim.
Being told they ‘wanted it’ is definitely infantilizing them
No, it's saying that women are equally responsible for their own choices as men are. Even if they regret it the next morning, or the next year, what matters is what they wanted at the time.
and it also infantilizes men to believe that they are not responsible for their own actions with regards to sex and aggression.
What about women being responsible for their own actions?
(See above for comparison of two drunk party goers). I believe that men and boys can be raped and can be raped by girls and women and that all rape is reprehensible, repugnant, illegal, and wrong. Full stop.
Do you think drunk sex is automatically rape?
College campuses have an obligation— legal and moral—for the safety of their students.
Including safety from false rape allegations. Instead of being accomplices to them.
This is the biggest reasons college campuses restrict the use of drugs or alcohol on campus as both create dangers for students partaking as well as anyone else around them.
I think it would be healthier to acknowledge that most students will partake and that many will have sex afterwards. And not assume that if a woman had been drinking that she is automatically a victim.
Locally, every academic year, there are a couple of college kids who die of acute alcohol poisoning. I’m told by someone with connections to the local PD and hospital, that number is larger- and that these are hushed up as much as possible. A couple make it to the local news. It is a difficult line to walk to encourage young adults to become more independent while creating and supporting an atmosphere that helps keep them safe even as they engage in risky behavior and take more responsibility for their actions.
Banning alcohol on campus drives it underground and actually increases the chance of things like that happening. Raising the drinking age to 21 was a huge mistake, as it made it impossible to teach teenagers and young adults how to approach alcohol in a healthy and safe fashion.

Can you give an example of women in college getting preferential treatment? I’m not being mean but I cannot think of any instance where this is true. But if I’m wrong, I’d like to know.
Admissions, for example. Advancement programs and scholarships open only to women. The discriminatory way drunk hookups are handled by the kangaroo courts.
AFAIK, no place is expelling 100 men in order to ensure they are expelling the one who sexually assaults women.
But they have been expelling men even with very flimsy evidence in cases we have discussed on here over the years. And current Democratic governor of Colorado advocated expelling men even if it is 20% likely they are guilty of anything.
Rep. Jared Polis Thinks Colleges Should Be Able to Expel Students When They're Only 20% Sure a Rape Happened
Again, even taking into consideration that you are using hyperbole with reference to 100 men, I am not understanding what you mean. Sincerely.
It's an obvious reference to the well-known saying coined by 18th century jurist William Blackstone that it is better to let 10 guilty people go free than to convict one innocent. I just turned it around, since these college policies have watered the standard of proof so much that there is a high chance of innocent men being falsely expelled.
Can you tell me how men are being marginalized? Again, I’m not looking for points for me to argue against. I really want to understand what you mean.
I have provided some here. There are more, and some of them have been mentioned in this thread by others.

I’m just guessing but perhaps the jury
There was no jury, as it was a plea deal. The travesty of giving this piece of shit just probation is entirely on the DA and the judge.
I do not know who the judge in the case was, but the DA is a Democratic woman named Katherine Fernandez.
didn’t find much sympathy for rich men looking to chest on their wives with a young hooker—I assume paying someone for sex is still a crime in Florida.
There you go again, blaming the victims. And I am sure you would not be dismissive of these crimes if it was a man preying on lonely women.
And btw, there is nowhere in the article that says that Torres was a hooker, or that the men were married. Where did you get those tidbits from, or were you just assuming?
In other words, they are also unlikely to have a lot of sympathy for rich men who are robbed by their coke dealer.
You don't think a coke dealer who robs his customers deserves jail time? What about a guy who chats up lonely women at a bar, goes to their room and robs them of their possessions? I guess you would have a lot of sympathy for them, and would demand a long prison sentence for him. But a woman that does the same to men is not a big deal for you. Because the victims are just men, and you do not care about that.
Your dismissive attitude toward male victims of female criminals is symptomatic of the greater crisis of the Left when it comes to relations between men and women. And why Dems struggle with attracting young men.
I think stealing is wrong and it’s illegal. I’m not in any way justifying what the woman did.\
You just don't think she should go to jail, because her victims do not matter to you.

Why do I keep hearing that young men feel "left behind" when in reality, it's just the opportunity gap was finally closing (WAS). Why do men feel like they've been 'left behind'?
Because there are many institutions treating women favorably, even where (such as in college) the opportunity gap has long since reversed polarity.

I’m sorry if I misread but I did believe that the article says she was or that the men believed she would.

Yes, I think crimes are crimes whatever the circumstance of the victim. I was not speaking about whether anyone should be prosecuted but whether the DA was likely to take the case to court. DAs are known to be loathe to take cases to trial if they don’t think they can win. The general public tends to think that prostitutes, their customers and drug dealers and their customers see as unsympathetic unless the crime involves serious violence.

There are many scholarships for only women or only men. Most are not very significant sums of money but some are. Most of my college was paid by scholarships—one, through my father’s workplace which offered scholarships to good students who were employees children. Another scholarship was very small and yes, it was from a women’s organization for women. OTOH, I recall my first semester meeting someone on a full ride scholarship for golf. He was in all remedial classes. I was pretty pissed for years until I realized that for a lot of student athletes, they’d never go to college without athletic scholarships. Athletic scholarships are far more generous than most other scholarships or at least the ones for mens’ sports are.

There is actually a big difference between drunken hook ups and guys raping women who are too intoxicated to give consent or to effectively defend themselves.

There you go again, blaming the victims. And I am sure you would not be dismissive of these crimes if it was a man preying on lonely women.
And btw, there is nowhere in the article that says that Torres was a hooker, or that the men were married. Where did you get those tidbits from, or were you just assuming?
In other words, they are also unlikely to have a lot of sympathy for rich men who are robbed by their coke dealer.
You don't think a coke dealer who robs his customers deserves jail time? What about a guy who chats up lonely women at a bar, goes to their room and robs them of their possessions? I guess you would have a lot of sympathy for them, and would demand a long prison sentence for him. But a woman that does the same to men is not a big deal for you. Because the victims are just men, and you do not care about that.
Your dismissive attitude toward male victims of female criminals is symptomatic of the greater crisis of the Left when it comes to relations between men and women. And why Dems struggle with attracting young men.
I think stealing is wrong and it’s illegal. I’m not in any way justifying what the woman did.\
You just don't think she should go to jail, because her victims do not matter to you.
You've been posting here for how long... and still have no idea the general baseline of Toni's positions? Your interpretations of her positions are woefully off-target, so much so, you should have obviously taken a step back and tried to reanalyze what you read.
