Talk about fragile masculinity. Girls have a movie that they like and is empowering and fragile idiots like this melt down. You know what manly men do? They let people enjoy things. Hell, they dress up in pink and go with their friends and enjoy it, and don’t get triggered so easily.
Amen. I got sick of him back when he and I were both a lot fucking younger. Just because our politics aren’t super far apart doesn’t mean he isn’t a snide, arrogant little fuck.
Hell, the way he pushes identity politics snidely and arrogantly is part of why I can’t stand him. Like, I wouldn’t wish him harm, but I would be very glad if he retired.
His flexible quickness of wit was incredibly impressive in the ‘80s and early-‘90s.
But, he’s become brittle. You can see it in his interviews and conversations now, where he often makes interlocutors repeat something before understanding it and responding to it, even though it was said clearly.
I suspect he’s lost a few steps and is running mostly on muscle-memory these days. He has lost the flexibility of thinking to make truly insightful jokes; he relies instead of stereotypes and is irritated that those stereotypes are increasingly being rejected by the left.
The interesting part of his shows back then wasn’t him, but the group that was put together to talk about issues of the time. When he wouldn’t butt in with his own thoughts. Terrible host, better hosts spark conversation and let the guests talk.
The movie also isn’t even Boyz Drool, it’s a critique of radicalization that can occur to aimless men, and ends with the message that equality is preferred over a matriarchy or patriarchy.

Interesting how Maher shows how much closer he is to being Ben Shapiro than being someone worth paying attention to.
He’s always been an asshole. He’s liberal, but he’s in his 60s and it shows.

And because we aren’t in an authoritarian cult, we can tell another liberal to go fuck themselves. Crazy isn’t it?

You might as well go right back to Gilgamesh, literally the earliest written saga ever discovered, predating the Iliad by at least 1200 years.
