1	Toxic Masculinity So, you can look it up, but actually war deaths are in fact way down, although you're right that for that statistic there are some spikes in the 20th century. So is murder. So is death from disease. These are just statistics, so I dunno, kind of it what it is. Also, yes, murder is in fact exceedingly rare. And for what it's worth I'm pretty far from being insulated, since I'm a cop in a city that has murders all the time. It's still so far from the level of everyday violence we saw in centuries …	/r/MensRights	11/03/18 01:40 AM
1	Toxic Masculinity Well, society certainly makes the guarantee, and it expects citizens to go about who business as if such guarantee was valid. The extent to which people are able to confidently do so I think is essentially the extent to which society is succeeding in an area. As far as the amount of murders etc, statistically it's exceedingly rare, far far far more rare than it was even 200 years ago, or 2000 years ago. Death from war is way down, death from disease way down etc etc. Society is moving us in a di…	/r/MensRights	11/03/18 01:14 AM
1	Toxic Masculinity No, I'm saying that society gives you a relatively reliable expectation that you won't experience a signing amount of violations of your physical safety such that they impact your life in a dramatically negative way. We're on a continuum here, and we're alot closer to a real ability to guarantee safety than, say, 200 years ago, and way way way closer than 2000 years ago or 10000 years ago when ideas of hard masculinity were formulated and encoded into various cultures we see still today. My poin…	/r/MensRights	11/03/18 12:35 AM
1	Toxic Masculinity Well, the united states does, for one. And you can get a literal physical copy of that guarantee by obtaining a copy of the criminal code of whichever state you live in. And you can file a claim by going to the police.	/r/MensRights	11/03/18 12:13 AM
1	Toxic Masculinity Seems like we're from entirely different worlds of thought here. To me I'm just saying completely non controversial things, to you they seem like these crazy left wing wacko insidious bad faith arguments. You say I'm not getting at what masculinity actually "is", but that's almost the whole basis of my point here, there's no such thing as masculinity outside of what society defines it as. You can look at different cultures from around the world and find sometimes wildly different ideas of what m…	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 11:51 PM
6	Toxic Masculinity Seems like you're actually not understanding what I'm saying. I am not arguing that "we" don't need to be "so masculine" in modernity, I'm saying that there are traits that have traditionally been associated with masculinity that are no longer useful in a society that guarantees physical safety in the way that ours does, and treats women as equals in the way that ours does. The type of masculinity of the past that valued physical strength over all else, the inability to see one's own faults, a r…	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 02:08 PM
15	Toxic Masculinity Seems like you think I'm doin something wrongheaded here. What's your take? Seemed pretty on topic to me.	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 01:05 PM
23	Toxic Masculinity It's not a degrading term for inherently male traits, it's a term that refers to a set of traits that have traditionally been associated with males through history but that have now become increasingly problematic in our modern society. Constant jealousy, an obsession with power dynamics, an aversion to becoming emotionally vulnerable and discussing intimate feelings, all these things were, evolutionarily speaking (so to speak) beneficial for men in a time when one's survival depended on one's a…	/r/MensRights	10/03/18 10:45 AM
4	Resist arrest. Get you pass taken away Sup. Again, plenty of badass female cops in my department. Maybe you should take a breath and rethink your whole worldview.	/r/PussyPassDenied	10/04/17 12:21 AM
9	Resist arrest. Get you pass taken away Well, since I'm currently in the middle of an academy that actually teaches you about use of force and what not it sure seems to me that providing that perspective is fairly sensible. All I'm doing is telling you what my instructors have told me. If you have some opposing view that's fine. But if I told you "i'm taking a class on biology and was specifically told that..." it would be silly for you to say "Oh, so youre not a phd biologist? lol." Same thing applies here. You can look up anything I…	/r/PussyPassDenied	10/04/17 12:19 AM
4	Resist arrest. Get you pass taken away Baby officer? So anyone who decided to be a cop and is still in training is just a laughable "baby officer?" Pretty shitty thing to say about a bunch of people who want to risk their lives to keep you safe. Or is it just that me disagreeing with you that makes me a "baby officer?" Cause there's tons of sworn officers who'd say the exact same thing. As for some other guy trying to butt in and getting stopped by another civilian, what does that have to do with the behavior of the cop who slammed t…	/r/PussyPassDenied	09/04/17 11:43 PM
30	Resist arrest. Get you pass taken away Dude, am currently in police academy. Absolutely all in on cops' right to defend selves and others in ways that may seem excessive to some. If she is under arrest the cops don't have to wait for anything, they can do quite a bit to physically make her comply. However, that video is 100% excessive force. Contrary to popular belief cops are abolutely responsible for adjusting their level of force to the task at hand. That girl weighed a third of what he weighed and was at a stage of resistance ter…	/r/PussyPassDenied	09/04/17 10:49 PM
