    You really should have stopped after the first paragraph it just devolved from there on.

      Ah, yes. Because real-world experience is just so passé.

      Sorry for intruding into your ideology with facts and reality.

        Oh god that’s funny. What’s my ideology then? I wasn’t aware that basic human observation was ideology now.

        I think the problem you have is the people you hang out with are awful if that’s your world view based on observed reality.

        Perhaps you should join a support group or something.

        We men are here to be practical.

        So as the non-toxic arbiter of facts and reality, what exactly are women here for?

          Why TF would I have any say in that? I’m a man, not a woman. I just observe how they behave and act, and take note of common trends and broad patterns.

            Since you’re specifying that men are here to be practical, you’re saying that woman are not practical:

            What we need to watch out for is to align our efforts to the needs and conditions of the situation.

            Do you see why that’s a toxic attitude to have?

              You are hitting a surprisingly large number of logical fallacies with that statement. Nowhere did I say anything to that, I strongly suggest checking your own biases for that source.

              Do you see why that’s a toxic attitude to have?

              Of course that’s a toxicity that has been externally imposed on men. Chris Rock was absolutely correct with his quote - a man who isn’t providing something of value is seen as useless. So in order to avoid going down “unproductive” paths that provide no value or utility to our betters, men have to always be providing value; to not waste time and energy on things that aren’t useful.

              You see this everywhere in Nature, where males provide value through demonstrations of genetic fitness via gaudy displays that require effort and internal resources to pull off. Without those displays of fitness, they have absolutely no value and the females utterly ignore them.
