I CAN'T TURN MY HEART INTO A CONDOM
oh sure i know that steve. i just... idk i just feel horribly for the adolescent kids (and older ppl too i guess) who fall into this advice trap, i guess, even though they end up perpetuating bullshit gender types. it just plays into so many kids' deep insecurities that some obnoxiously opinionated ppl exploit to get followers & reblogs.

i wonder if people were exposed to quite so much life-crushing idiot folk wisdom before the Internet era, feels like they weren't
― aka best bum of the o_O's (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 9 June 2011 15:34 (twelve years ago) link
they weren't basically huge swathes of content need to be machete'd out plus maybe the internet needs to be closed for a few hours each day or curfews put in place or something so that the people that write this crap, the people that read it looking for life cues and the ppl that read it and just feel slightly queasy at it all can have a break from it all and git real or whatever

well i was gonna say Trace at one time u had to wait until you were in a horrible job before you got exposed to this shit so much, now it's out there for teens and younger
was also gonna say tho it's not just the internet, i guess reality TV shows have developed their own vocabulary and allowed a whole swathe of street philosophers to get their message out globally

i guess there were always wack-ass bumper stickers and t-shirts too plus real men don't eat quiche type books
― dell (del), Thursday, 9 June 2011 15:42 (twelve years ago) link
t-shirts and bumper stickers are more like unfunny jokes that get less and less funny, whereas these kinds of blogs really set themselves up as HOW TO LIVE YOU LIFE 4 REAL

i know someone who went abroad for a couple of years in the early nineties...and when she came back she was shocked and sorta mystified at how everyone seemed to be speaking in this new way, sorta like FRIENDS tv series-speak. can't imagine what it would be like to go away at the dawn of the 2000's and then come back to find people's speech peppered with all of the reality tv-isms

Starting at about age 10, I was consciously looking for help figuring out gender roles, mine in particular. 13 year old Jesse would have eaten a lot of this shit up. While I accepted feminist ideas, I also was influenced by the trend of bucking the strictures of being "PC," and I wanted desperately to fit in as a guy, so I could imagine myself acting out some of the crap from these sorts of advice sites.

yeah, that combined with the idea that being a dick/instigating drama all the time somehow makes for an endearing personality trait is just bad news

I appreciated the girltip about menstrual blood because I have been letting it run down my legs and pool into my socks and never understood why people avoided me for five days each month.

Men – we face tremendous pressure and stress everyday. Work will never be finished but if there is one thing we need to remember all the time – it is this:DON’T FORGET THE GIRL!In every movie that we see the main guy does his thing, fights the villain, slays the dragon for one good reason – the girl. He has to go and get back to his girl.Spiderman faces his villain who is holding Mary Jane. The villain is about to let go of her but at the same time he needs to save the people who are dying. He does his thing and saves the people while the villain drops Mary Jane. He does it on time but he gets back, swings his web and saves his girl.Husbands – we sometimes feel like Spiderman. We are given a choice everyday – do our job and love our family – both takes time.Do whatever you can to have a great job but not in the expense of having a bad marriage. A great marriage is worth more than our job. So in the course of doing our job – don’t forget the girl.

A Man’s mind is like a toolbox. A compartment for the nails, a compartment for the hammer, a compartment for every tool. Women are like their handbags. Have you tried getting something in a woman’s bag. It seems like every woman’s handbag has a black hole in it. Everything is mixed up and they like it that way and they have the talent of finding stuff in the bag.

As skewed and fucked up as these are, can one at least make the argument that on some crazy level, there is at least an attempt to, y'know, be nice to ladies and treat them right (vs. being a blatant misogynist and etc)? Even if it is a totally batshit and bad way to do it?
