everybody on ilx complains about reddit

Theres prob loads of examples where co-opting the sufferings and injustices existing in the world is p gross, mra movement the most egregious of these ito widespread examples, agreed

wd you say you were against discussion of "issues" in general, or mainly objecting to the self-congratulatory tone of some of these discussions within ILX/the broader social context? given that the discussion of issues has the potential to generate some entertaining donnybrooks given the right circumstances how does that sit with your broader pro bust-up stance?

mra is clearly a piece of shit though, said without knowing anything about the 'movement' beyond what pplains and others post here, but simply that for those relatively very few instances in which men suffer while an equivalent woman would not, it is illogical and grotesque to co-opt the language of minoritarian rights rather than the general right

i think this is a t-bomb but i never really know when people are lib-baiting or being serious here any more

No that is undoubtedly tbomb tbf stevie, even id allow that like

PHEWS

xp another thread in itself nv, but not even the tone (and far less the issues/discussion) *deleted remainder here for sanity's sake tbh)

hey i was just feebly trying to generate content

without having to actually, y'know, read reddit

facebook, not reddit, but fits in with the men's rights ridicule itt. This crossed by path because a facebook friend of mine commented on it. NSFW, btw.

I mean id consider startin an mra thread but if im honest it would be more to annoy the ppl that it would annoy than i) to discuss mra or whatever (i dont think ilx is capable any longer of an interesting discussion on this or similar grey-area/devils advocate or w/e topics without the discussion itself being attacked and ii) i drgaf either

lol ilx is too shallow to even appreciate these important devils advocate issues sniff

"pplains is a great fisherman"

Thanks guys!

*widens stance to hide barrel of fish behind him*

xxp - is that a lost BC panel?

these are vital devils advocate issues and we cannot let vicious attacks by the likes of lagoon divert us from them

i think there are things to discuss about being a man - like how you relate to other men, how you feel about expressions of masculinity in society, how you relate to your father, or your son, etc - that are certainly worthy of discussion and not just bc they might inflame a clusterfuck. some of this will touch on things MRA are interested in - like whether men will submit themselves to physical harm or dmg bc of machismo or something similar. obv you can reduce any gender issue for anyone down to - omg the patriarchy blows - but some thinks are best discussed in nuance.

ot but i was just reminded of this and it's one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard (lol, 'beauty), rav soloveitchik has a comment on the part of the torah where potiphar's wife is trying to seduce joseph. it says that he looked out the window and saw the face of his father and that gave him the strength to resist the seduction. soleveitchik explains that he actually saw his own reflection in the glass, and saw in his features the features of his father. that it wasn't the vision of his father that dissuaded him from sinning, but rather the recognition that the lessons of his father were written into his very own physical features.

i guess i'm mentioning this bc i think (and this is true about bly as well) there are important things to discuss about being a man that aren't about minimizing feminist concerns, or stealing minority rhetoric to make yourself feel like a victim. the victim discourses are so asinine anyway, why replicate them? i'd rather talk about something new. obv this isn't the right thread for an ongoing conversation along this nature, but i think threads like this, or the man-blogging thread, have monopolized "man talk" such that even suggesting that men might have specific issues they want to discuss (at the very least we can talk about our prostates) becomes laughable.

tl;dr no goofy reddit shit let's get back on point

I hope soleveitchik didn't get paid to explain that, because that seems pretty obvious to me.

Idk 'the father' being omnipresent when yr about to get yr rocks off is a runnin fuckin theme tbh

then joseph runs outside and shoves his fingers into the sand and ejaculates through his fingertips.

^^ the rav didn't mention this but it is one of my most favorite midrashim.

Yeah, that was the first thing I thought of too, no Obi-wan-kanobi bullshit.

btw nv started a thread

We can talk about man stuff and relationships and have that drum circle or whatever any place, any time, but as soon as you start bringing in fedoras, katana swords and any sort of idea of being suppressed, than you're going to get reposted and laughed at on this thread, sorry.

if someone starts that thread, plz name it I Love Sweat Lodges

can we talk more about ejaculating through our fingertips into sand?

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.

maybe the sand was in someone's vagina, like a mens rights advocate's.

lol owned

Richard, no question here, just wanted you to know that your book God Delusion gave me the courage to stand up to my deeply religious parents and fist my sister. For that I’m forever thankful.

its funny if you ever read the imgur comments they are exactly the same style as reddit, i was unsure until i read that piece whether or not they were just being pulled off reddit or what, btw that article is written by someone who is in way too deep
