#ResistTrump today by resting up for the busy week to come. Also, space testicles.

@Rhuu
Wooow, that’s the most patronizing (apt turn of phrase) fuckin thing. Like, the 1st words are:

Women are incredibly beautiful beings

Furreal, guy? And:

exceed simple appreciation and take us over the edge

It’s as if his junk became sentient and wrote a listicle

1)the whole passion thing comes down to money. Not more money, mind. He finds it incredibly sexy that a woman works (in a REAL job) at all!
2)he’s mildly annoyed by the total, widespread, societal decay caused… by kids these days not being decisive enough. Also, assertiveness can, and very often does, come from a place of lack of confidence, but let’s not overthink this dude. The head he’s currently using ain’t up to the task
3)or don’t have friends who make the women in your life uncomfortable. Or keep your friends and partner(s) in separate spheres. Or actually treat your girlfriend with the modicum decency not to make her social anxieties into a massive burden on you. An unsexy burden at that
4)*sigh*
5)if your go to for usefully contributing to a relationship is opening jars, you probably ain’t shit
6)be white, but also kinda black? That is, dominant and filthy? Come now, you weren’t even trying. And Drake? Bruh…
7)nope, not ‘drastic’. That’s precisely what you meant. You own her, cos she put on your shirt. Like some bizarro house elf
8)men need love too, yooz gize! And, if demanding to go to Wendy’s and putting up with his bros ain’t quite enough to show the depths of your caring, you could always jump his bones!
9)salty ass muffuga did summat marginally nice, didn’t get slathered in praise, and wrote a piece about it
10)yeah, no
11)don’t say “fairer sex”. Also, how are your personal, childhood boner notes considered “according to men”? Ya know, “men”? Plural and general?
12)@Rhuu got it. And what about children of single parents too? How do the gender roles work out there?
13)no, my dog is not a good judge of character. I love her to the last, but she likes any and everyone. New people of any sort send her into friendship mode. Don’t speak for Gaea, thanks much

Does popsugar do anything worthwhile, or is this basically it?

Women are incredibly beautiful beings.

This is one of those statements that men make where they’re trying to be constructive but don’t understand the problem. It’s as though he has a friend who thinks she isn’t beautiful, and his solution is to assure her that yes she is, rather than to assure her that her value isn’t centered in a man’s boner. He thinks he’s being helpful, but he isn’t, because he’s just perpetuating the model that women are only valuable for their looks.

Usually men don’t react well when I point out that they think they’re being helpful but they aren’t, because their boners really aren’t the center of the universe. They get pissy and angry and don’t take it constructively.

Have a job so I don’t have to support you, but not a higher prestige job than my own. Have opinions, but make sure they match or complement my own. Grab my arm so that I feel like I can protect you, but don’t be so weak that I might actually have to protect you.

When you do something you don’t like because you know that we love it, it just goes to show your man how much you care about him.

This is just a bush-beating yet manipulative way of demanding BJs and anal, isn’t it.

(And happy birthday, IP!)

My ex wouldn’t wear my shirt after sexytimes.

And I thought I had specific kinks…

@LindsayIrene

Now I have Red Right Hand stuck in my head because that’s my goto Nick Cave song.

@LindsayIrene,

That’s… the most beautiful and perfect sentence ever written. I’m sold ??

I just realized how gross “you can stand your ground with our buddies and their significant others without any social assistance” sounds. “Stand your ground” is something a person does when under assault. Why are your buddies assaulting your girlfriend, Listicle Guy? Why are you okay with this happening? Is this why you don’t have a girlfriend today, and why you are pouring your “ideal girlfriend” emotions into a listicle in the first place?

Them edgelords cooked up something again, and it failed hilariously again.

I mean, seriously ? Weak-ass hoax.

I know bigots fail every subject ever, but they don’t even know what gender means apparently. An adult male with developmental delays who is cognitively equivalent to a 13 year old child would still be male. Because child isn’t a gender.

Honestly, I think the channers were just hoping the clovergender thing would take off so they could use it as an excuse to molest kids 🙁

@Rhuu

Women are incredibly beautiful beings. Everything from your shape to your form and the way you carry yourselves — guys appreciate all of it.

Why do I get the sudden urge to back away slowly?

Aside from us (of course), it’s very sexy to see you love something; to have a deep passion.

/images of people eyeing you constantly while you’re drawing/writing/trying to beat my pokemon battle tree high score

It seems like nobody’s decisive these days. Even if the question is merely, “What should we have for dinner?” The question’s usually met with an indecisive response, like: “I don’t care, you decide” or “Whatever you feel like.” Neither of these are actual answers, meaning they aren’t helpful.

But I really don’t care, food is food.

“A girl who can hang,” is a top priority in any heterosexual man’s relationship. There’s nothing that makes us feel more confident in our relationship than knowing we can confidently leave you at a party for a bit and you can stand your ground with our buddies and their significant others without any social assistance. The last thing any man needs is a human bracelet who wants to go home 15 minutes in.

But I don’t like your friends, I don’t like to party, and I don’t like to feel like I have to be on guard.

Whether you grip our arm and take note of our bicep, rub our shoulders just because, or rest your head under our arms before bed, all of these things enforce the idea that we’ve made you feel safe and secure. And that feeling is as good as gold.

Then why do I feel less secure and feel like I’m being reduced to a security blanket?

Just ask us. Everybody likes to feel useful even in the smallest of ways, and guys tend to like using strength as a means of being useful.

But I can do it already, I don’t wish to be a bother.

When you know dirty rap lyrics

Okay that is absurdly specific. I doubt he knows of aesop rock or even Doom.

When you wear our clothes
When you initiate anything sexual
When you wear lipstick

Maybe this one’s just me, but I LOVE it when my girlfriend throws on some lipstick before we attend a formal event.

M-muh fetish, y-yes I like it when you do that spaghetti’s through the monitor

When you appreciate things we’ve done

Basic human empathy how rare

When you do something you don’t like just because we do

But I don’t want to do the things I don’t like to do just to please you. I don’t want you to do things that you’re not going to enjoy, so why expect that from me.

When you genuinely get along with the folks

But I don’t get along with your folks, we don’t even talk to them often, why does this matter to you?

When the dog loves you

It takes alot to make a dog not like you.

Re “clover-gender” (after an eye-roll so massive I can now see through the back of my head)
How surprising (not) that Lauren Southern re-tweeted this in apparent seriousness. Why are these people so freaking obsessed with paedophilia? Actually, don’t answer that.

After snorting and eye-rolling came anger – because of course this is not ‘just’ a prank or a victimless jolly jape. It’s going to hurt actual non-binary and trans people, being seen as on par with paedophiles and treated accordingly.

This is one reason I get so furious when people insist that Milo et al, or channers, are just mischievous, albeit sophisticated, pranksters.

On a lighter note, the take-downs of that article that rhuu linked to have been works of brilliance 🙂
