I am proud to be part of the gender who had a part, which means I also have that potential , not on the basis of having a wee willy winkie but on the basis of having increased strength, agility, intellect, spirituality and willpower. Just like someone coming from an elite family can be proud of his family, I am proud of being a man.
So, in other words, you're taking credit for the work of better men and trying to ride their coattails. Come back when your art has been featured in gallery exhibitions (mine has) and when your able to compete against a genius IQ (also me). Come back when you've done a tenth of what Marie Curie and Cecilia Payne did. Let me know when you have even a scant trace of the revolutionist Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton were.

I replied to your reply. You're trying to take credit for the work of others and riding their coattails. You don't have the potential to be an Einstein, Da Vinci or Spinoza. Being male isn't enough.
Real men don't talk about their imagined potential amd take credit for what others do. Real men are out there doing and accomplishing and don't give a **** what lesser men or anyone thinks of his having female friends.

It's because of your misogynist comments. If you had left that crap out of it, I would've given you a like as I'm what you can call a masculinist. The difference is that I don't have an issue with women or find them contaminating as you appearantly do. The truth is that both of the sexes have major issues these days, and this gender war crap is a sign of how brainwashed both have become.
The issue is that the supporting character is trying to replace the main character. The result is a bad, trash movie that noone wants to watch.

I congratulate all Men for being the superhumans of this world. We , mankind , have created this civilization. Almost all of the art, science, technology and spirituality is created by us. Everything finds it's highest expression in Men.

Even though now women have more social rights and more advantaged then us we continue to rock. For example almost all Nobel prizes are taken by us, creators of Chatgpt are all men.

In an interview Trump said masculinity is under attack and I agree. They are trying to make us feel inferior and make us feel ashamed. Never be ashamed to be a Man, we are the creators and destroyers, we are the great and the terrible. We are the superhumans of this world!

Edit: I won't reply to any hate messages. I don't want to waste my time and energy.
Happy international day man.

Still continuing with the misogyny. Neither sex is the main or supporting character. They are partners in life and both are sacred. It's not a hierarchy as both bring different but essential things to the table. It's a ying-yang thing.

You either didn't read or understood my posts so I am putting them here:

... this an issue men face. Some men think that they have to prove something to "be a real men". I think being a man isn't about accomplishing things, providing for women etc. I think being a man is about not caring about what people think (especially women) and enjoy being a man. Like enjoying life in a manly way. For me, if a man doesn't defend feminine values, isn't a feminist, is XY and identify as a man he is a part of the Brotherhood of the Brotherhood!

I don't have to prove myself to you. I am just proud to be a man and I love enjoying the world as a man. I am already awesome as a man. And since this is International Men's Day it is my right to be proud and congratulate other awesome mankind who made %99 of the advances in human civilization.

You don't have a heightened anything of that just because you're a man. That's a fact of biology, science and life. My best friend is probably even stronger than you (she's done roofing).

Haha I know you are joking but I will reply seriously because this an issue men face. Some men think that they have to prove something to "be a real men". I think being a man isn't about accomplishing things, providing for women etc. I think being a man is about not caring about what people think (especially women) and enjoy being a man. Like enjoying life in a manly way. For me, if a man doesn't defend feminine values, isn't a feminist, is XY and identify as a man he is a part of the Brotherhood of the Brotherhood!

Also it is the company of the men which makes men more masculine. Having lots of feminine partners eventually feminizes a man. Like dudes in the prison get big and strong as hell even though they don't have good nutrition or exercise machines.

So, you said this:

Some men think that they have to prove something to "be a real men".

And then you proceeded to list a bunch of criteria for what supposedly "being a man" is about, most of which include disparagement of women, perceived femininity, and men who enjoy the company of many women.

I see a lot of value in International Men's Day because I believe that men, like women, have many issues that necessitate awareness-raising and attention, but I don't think that tackling and talking about men's issues requires pitting either gender against the other or putting down women, femininity, or men who enjoy women's company. This whole "gender war" stuff strikes me as an especially malignant phenomenon largely rooted in online vitriol and demagoguery from grifters who, implicitly or explicitly, act like addressing either gender's issues is a zero-sum game that necessitates disparaging people of the other gender or minimizing their issues.

Exactly. Well said, in my opinion. My husband and I have been married for almost 33 years, and he has always treated me like his equal. He has never thought that he is superior to me because he has a penis and I don't, and he has never felt the need to toot his own horn and brag about being a man.

You can be proud of being a man. You however don't have to put others down.

Well said, in my opinion. Great response. I think that it speaks volumes about your personal integrity and character, Debater Slayer.

On that note, I would like to commend you on your thread about International Men's Day.


Peace, my friend.
