  1. Prikvačeni tweet

    I have just discovered I have no stomach for dealing with people who claim to be looking for equality and yet espouse beliefs that are exclusionary and specifically detrimental to specific groups of people. If you think that rights are a zero sum game, suck eggs.

  2. I'm starting to realize something, and I think more people on all sides of most issues should think about it. It's not about other people. It's about the kind of person you are. You have to do things because that is the kind of person you are.

  3. It's my birthday today. I'm old. Send me something to make me feel young (or better about being old).

  4. I live with ADHD and moderate depression. If anyone wants to talk, ask questions, or just needs a sympathetic ear, feel free to reach out to me. We need each other.

  5. Can I just say that I love the fact that the actual Church of Satan is on higher moral ground than the literal faith advisor to Trump? This is the world we live in now.

  6. When we stand up for each other, the world becomes a better place. Don't let harrassment like this go. Be calm, be clear, and stand up to it.

  7. My life is, right now, the best it has ever been. I hear people talking about their "glory days" and I feel like THESE are my glory days. And on average every new day is better than the previous days all put together. My life is good.

  9. 4/ by the time I figured out that a pan would be basically useless against a bear, he had dropped our tote and ran away. I still have that tote with 4 bear teeth holes in it.

  10. 3/ I shouted "It is a bear!", then jumped out and grabbed a frying pan that had fallen out of the tote. I ran towards the bear, still half asleep (and in nothing but a flimsy pair of boxers) yelling and banging the pan on everything I went past.

  11. 2/ My wife woke me up whispering "something is outside, moving the tent. I think it's a bear!" I said, loudly, "why would a bear be out there? Our site is clean!" And poked my head out. It was a full sized black bear, trying to steal our plastic tote.

  12. I went camping with my wife in a park in northern Ontario once. We were responsible campers, cleaned up our site and everything was put away before we went to bed. After cleaning them, the dishes went into a large plastic bin next to the picnic table, right by the tent. 1/

  13. 7/ Or, conversely, what are the problems with this? I'm not "die on this hill" on it, just thinking about it in the new year, you know?

  14. 6/ So, who is with me? We need to help boys (and men!) to know what Male means, without it being dominated by the toxic culture we stand in.

  15. 6/ The problem is that the dominant Male culture has taken up this position for itself, acting as though it is being denigrated by the seeking of equality for others. But good, honest, powerful men don't feel that and want them to stop.

  16. 5/ MEN have to lead this revolution against the toxic parts of our Male culture. Any other way will just not work: if non-men try to tell men how to be "men", it is rejected bc they are not "men". And rightfully so! Women should not be told by non-women what is "woman", either.

  17. 4/ secondly, feminism has a long history of being supported by strong women. That makes sense: fighting for equality for women SHOULD focus on the strong women that lead that fight. As the saying goes however, "Nothing to us without us". Men have to be the ones to fix maleness

  18. 3/ Fighting the broken male culture can and does obviously help that, but fixing male culture should not be the GOAL of feminism. As a dude, and (I have come to feel) a feminist, I feel that putting these issues forward in Feminist circles is out of place.

  19. 2/ I want to work on fixing Male culture without coming from that place for a few reasons. First, it shifts the focus to men in a movement that really should be focused on fighting inequality against women. Women are suppressed. Feminism fights that. That is a good thing.

  20. I seriously want a movement and a term that is specific to the idea of freeing men from toxic masculinity. I know that Feminism looks for equality and freedom from those gendered roles, but from the historical context of women being suppressed. 1/
