May 2013

seem to fully engage the message when they are feeling their most vulnerable and emotionally bankrupt by our ill culture.

and for men specifically, i don't see a bunch of support or even a smidge of respect for the male experience over at HOF (which to me is a petrie dish of anti-male, anti equalist views infecting society to support an explicitly stated feminine imperative with no room for men except as draft horses).

maybe we see the map on the ground differently.

and to be clear before the MRA crap starts, sorry. I'm an equalist through and through. noone should be the farm animal or pet of another.
