Maybe in their reverse sharia movement they will make men driving illegal for safety sake.

Been seeing a lot of posts lately about "toxic" masculinity. Why not embrace the label. Turn it from a negative connotation to a positive one. Yes I'm a man yes I do manly things no I'm not changing to be feminine yes I embrace my masculine traits and responsibilities.

And If you don't like it, that is a you problem.

When are the majority of gonna look down a realize they have a big set of balls and it's time to act accordingly. Hell, if you aren't gonna for yourself how about doing it for the young men in your life

Scene: delivery room, men watching their assigned-male-at-birth children being born. Voiceover:

Maintenant je suis pressé de te connaître, mon fils. T'es tout àinventer. Je crois que tu as mes yeux. Je crois qu'on s'en fout. Je pleure tellement que je te vois flou. T'as pas mes yeux, tu sais quoi tant mieux, mon fils. Vois la vie comme tu veux. Tu as pas à suivre ce qu'attendent les gens d'un homme. C'est de toi que ça dépend. De tes 49 centimètres, écris l'homme que tu veux être. Un homme sensible, un homme qui pleure, un homme qui sait avoir du cœur. Peins-toi les ongles, dessine-toi le corps, mon fils, qu'importe, moi je t'aime si fort. Du haut de ton jour, la vie devant toi, tu me rends grand et petit à la fois. Je ne sais plus rien, une chose peut-être : deux hommes bien meilleurs viennent de naître.

Now I'm in a hurry to know you, my son. You're all to be invented. I think you have my eyes, I don't think it matters. I'm crying so much that I see you blurred. You don't have my eyes, you know what, so much the better, my son. See life as you want. You don't have to follow what people expect of a man, it all depends on you. From your 49 centimeters, write the man you want to be. A sensitive man, a crying man, a man who knows how to have a heart. Paint your nails, draw on your body, my son, whatever, I love you so much. From a top of your day, your life in front of you, you make me big and little at the same time. I don't know anything anymore, one thing maybe: two much better men have just been born.

Tu es sur que ca nous aidera a vendre plus d'hamburgers?

Sexist pigs have taken over the French public service, media and government, and are practicing their misandry without restraint or appropriate legal censure. This kind of unmitigated subgroup persecution is frequently associated with horrific human rights abuses as the persecuted subgroup is considered a subhuman danger to the community at large. The sheer stupidity of the prejudice expressed by these feminist ideologues is consistent with their sociopathic lack of insight.

Toxic masculinity doesn't exist.

He said the cultural notion that boys and men are instinctively “very familiar” with cars can quickly lead to an assumption that men instinctively “know how to drive”, which might bring over-confidence in dangerous situations.

“It could lead to the sense that a man has to prove himself by mastering a vehicle, such as accelerating or breaking speed limits to show ‘I’m a real man’,” Mergier added.

Sounds very reasonable, good article.

Stop giving this crap attention, you are inadvertently legitimizing by even acknowledging it
