Apparently male tears are high in calories.

Additionally, it's funny how a whole generation of women can simultaneously complain about all the absent fathers, and claim all of men's problems come from other men.

Who raised us again, if our fathers were absent?

As for why our fathers were absent... Maybe you told him you didn't want or need him... And he believed you.

If you ever see a feminist talk about men as if she knows anything, laugh in her face and walk off, wasting no more time.

(I really fucking hate how feminists get offended the moment a man indicates he can understand women but try to tell we men all about ourselves and how we should be as if they are fucking experts or something ... that such arrogance is somehow tolerated makes me want to shout at the top of my lungs.)

They are just using emotional shaming as a weapon.

If someone claims that emotional shaming is a problem for women, and that it should be ended, but is entirely willing to use emotional shaming against men for the purposes of ... whatever, likely to help their own self-esteem, then they are morally inconsistent.

TheDude41 · 2015-12-04T04:53:04+00:00

I've often said: it's no use for men to talk about their feelings, so long as women are telling men what their feelings ought to be.

Septeus7 · 2015-12-04T06:05:42+00:00

All this shit about how men should "cry like women" talk is part of the problem. It assumes the feminine "verbal therapy" is the only way to work through problems and refuses to acknowledge that men have a masculine mode of healing.

Men don't want to sit on a couch and talk about feelings. I'd rather build something or work with my hands. Men don't bond, open up, or heal emotionally like women do.

Demands that men conform to feminine standards is a major problem as to why men don't seek help. Gynocentrism is the problem not patriarchy.

goodfoobar · 2015-12-04T04:47:47+00:00

Men don't generally process emotions the same way that women do. This can lead to some thinking that men don't express emotions because they don't know how to recognize when males are expressing emotions.

tallwheel · 2015-12-04T05:19:25+00:00

Ah, so you want us to cry more just so you can harvest our tears. I'm on to you, feminists!

TracyMorganFreeman · 2015-12-04T07:13:48+00:00

You'd think if men didn't express their emotions there wouldn't be enough tears to drink.

specterofthepast · 2015-12-04T15:19:18+00:00

You have way too much respect for feminist's intelligence. I was talking to a feminist on twitter who claimed she had never met the "man hating feminist" people talk about. But, then went on to say MaleTears was just "irony" and that I should get the joke. She couldn't explain why it was ironic. She claimed over and over it had nothing to do with mocking men's emotions... somehow.

hermes369 · 2015-12-04T04:22:30+00:00

So much that's out there is designed to estrange us, seems to me. We're better consumers feeding the established capitalist, that way. I can't think of a better economic system but it's damned dysfunctional/pendulum-swung and caught on a latch like a hatchet on a pivot; don't let it swing and slice as it heads towards the other side and hits a rubber bumper. Suffer a job loss or illness that negatively affects your lifestyle? Your STBX is only a Mira Kirshenbaum, Elizabeth Gilbert, Cheryl Strayed away from sending you to your parents' house. Trading up is, "empowering," when women do it.

Anyway. I know plenty of interesting and smart women. They're mostly married, gay, or both. Bully for them. The rest are about one psl short of a metformin prescription.

I just had to unload for a sec. Carry on.

jaheiner · 2015-12-04T06:51:39+00:00

Amazing that they are almost all fat/ugly. It's incredible how closely being a feminist and an undesirable person seem to go hand in hand.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2015-12-04T06:44:15+00:00

Male tears: It must be slang for 'cum'

augustfell · 2015-12-04T07:07:53+00:00

are those all different women?

gsettle · 2015-12-04T18:27:16+00:00

There is far too much crying in today's society. Suck it up, have some dignity, for God's sake deal with your life like an adult!

ThePigmanAgain · 2015-12-04T08:27:19+00:00

The whole idea that it is the patriarchal aspect that teaches men to not express their emotions is rubbish. The less patriarchal a country is the more emotionally repressed their men are. Compare the stiff upper lip of Anglo cultures to the much more emotional reactions you get from men in the Arab patriarchies. Just watch the emotional reactions when disaster strikes the Arab world, it's crying and screaming men all over the place.

2015-12-04T16:17:37+00:00

I need a mug that says "Hot Bitch Tears."

I don't want to drink the tears of fat bitches and cat ladies, although I'm sure they cry a lot more.

Inbefore121 · 2015-12-04T14:12:48+00:00

"But those aren't really feminists!" Jeez there are so many fake ones then...

BITCRUSHERRRR · 2015-12-04T15:11:14+00:00

This makes me want a 'Female Tears' mug. That shit would be a two gallon jug though.

oballistikz · 2015-12-04T18:33:40+00:00

Sure seems like a coincidence that all the women drinking tears are all quite ugly.

MrFlesh · 2015-12-04T19:55:15+00:00

So tired of this conversation. It has nothing to do with "not allowed". I don't lead my motivations by my emotions, in fact I find my emotions will betray my efforts about as much as they help. Even those I bother to validate I don't have this burning need to analyze every feeling I experience from all angles like I just found an archaeological relic. Yes it sucks scruffy went down under my front left tire on my way to work but I cant bring scruffy back and I can't buy a flying car to prevent it from happening again...moving on. It has nothing to do with suppression or "not allowed"

ld2gj · 2015-12-04T20:14:43+00:00

I would invoke my inner little shit self (we will name him Cat), and knock them off a shelf.

LordofNothing1984 · 2015-12-04T20:27:07+00:00

Oh my god I think my ex is in here. I dodged a bullet.

pseudonymeria · 2015-12-04T20:48:20+00:00

Josh is such a tool.

SirSpankalott · 2015-12-04T12:45:35+00:00

I need to get me one of those 'elaM sraeT' mugs.

Funcuz · 2015-12-04T15:57:32+00:00

I don't want to cry. I don't want to watch anybody else cry. I feel awkward and find it cringeworthy to watch people cry over stupid shit.

As far as I'm concerned the solution here is to teach people in general to suck it up and keep their wailing face shut. When did it become the "right" thing to do to sit around and blubber ?

When your grandpa dies, you can cry. When you failed an exam or didn't get a promotion it's time to shut up and work harder. Fucking pansies. Yeah, I'm insensitive. I don't care.

Benjamminmiller · 2015-12-04T07:07:00+00:00

It's not the patriarchy's fault because a bunch of women on the Internet feel a certain way?

Or it's not the patriarchy's fault because some women are hypocritical?

That's some shit argument skills come on man.

Edit: And you people wonder why you don't get taken seriously

2015-12-04T15:20:49+00:00

Men who act emotional and girly are completely uninteresting to women. Despite the cultural brainwashing, women are actually attracted to manly men. So men who are raised by mom have poor results in dating and relationships. The last few serial killers all expressed sexual frustration and anger at not being able to attract women. Totally expected.
