There are a lot of classics I like. DM of the Rings. I got really into Megatokyo for a while. I see that guy at conventions and say hello, even though I fell off when I was still a teenager. I remember Loserz being good, before he moved it behind a paywall along with his porn. These days I like Gatordays, Red Dot, and Poorly Drawn Lines.

I Was banned a while ago for hate speech against cops. I lurk sometimes with libreddit

I would argue instead that while patriarchy encourages people to overvalue oversexualized beauty in women, and does encourage men to be dipshits towards them, that would cause women to overvalue kindness and gentleness in their non threatening, masculine related fantasies. Maybe I’m overgeneralizing, but I am thinking of Bandit Heeler, or that fucking toothbrush

… Maid Marion?

“I dont mind the gays, but I keep voting for Fascists because right wing talking points about how Unions make the prices of eggs go up.”

I feel a little ashamed. Everyone here has cool trauma.

My parents chose each other. They argued over money, which we didn’t have a lot of, and her chronic illness which loomed large over all our lives, but they loved each other and us. She was in her late 50s when she died of a cardiac event caused by complications from her chronic illness 12 years ago. My dad is still alive and I dont think he’s even looked at another woman since. I have a hard time even imagining it.

I think its the larger double standard; men are sex monsters. A woman and a man can’t be friends. A child with a man is in danger.

This is connected to; Intimacy is feminine. Men can only be vulnerable or gentle with their partners or families, if then. Its not universal, obviously, but the callous lover and the distant father are not so uncommon so as to be unrecognizable. Intimacy between men is also considered feminine, unless in the military or team sports.

It’s a world we created as well. Every double standard listed in this thread is a double standard. But it is also something cultivated by the Patriarchy.
