You are wrong. “This doesn’t need explaining.” “That is all.” There you go, back at ya! ---

> [@The\_Observer](#): > > You are simply brainwashed. There are no gender roles. Sex is not a part you play, but rather something you are born with. I have nothing more to say to you. You are a fundamentally dishonest individual and it’s a waste of time talking to you. Screw off. Of course there are gender roles. And society, at times, re-evaluates them. In bygone days of yore, if a man called another man a coward, there had to be a fight. There just had to be one, because if there weren’t, then the other man was a coward, and there just wasn’t anything worse than that. A man could not live in a town where everyone knew he was a coward. Now? Not quite the same thing. And that’s fine. It’s better than fine, it’s a huge improvement. ---

Meh, I had a feeling this thread would turn into this. I’m out. Do with it what you want. I’m out, bye. Just want to say before I go I think men and women are of equal value. No sex is better than the other. The love between men and women is an essential aspect of the universal self. Homosexuality is evil. God is real. The universe is God. I love you all. :o - bye ---

> [@Leaffan](#): > > Sorry, but what the hell is an MRA? The OP. The OP, despite his protestations, is a cookie cutter MRA. Gender essentialist, running down women who don’t fall into his submissive image of what they’re supposed to be, running down men who don’t fall into his grunting caveman image of what they’re supposed to be, homophobic. The acronym stands for ‘Men’s Rights Activist’ and they are entirely concerned with preserving ‘masculinity’ and ‘femininity’ as they see it. ---

Andy Man should hate himself for making such a banal, pointless piece of shit. That was about as intellectually stimulating as watching paint dry. (BTW, anyone notice that all of the comments there are positive? How often does that happen at a youtube video? :dubious:) ---

You are a fundamentally dishonest individual and it’s a waste of time talking to you. Screw off. I said nothing to target any specific individuals or groups. I just gave my (rather balanced opinion) on a topic that causes some people to fly off the handle per forum rules. Reported. ---

MRA’s are kinda funny. I’m no fan of feminazism but the best way to retain your manhood is to act like a man. ---
