One of the damaging aspects of the social media-fication of politics is that people don't think in terms of systems or power. It's just whether there are victims who "deserve" our sympathy by levels of privation.

We must push back, because that's being exploited.

I'm not sure dear Mark really knows what genuine 'masculine energy' really is. Perhaps he wishes he had some? It's hard to be beige and forgettable.

Those men are the most unattractive guys I’ve ever seen. What makes them repulsive is not just their physical features but their lack of manliness, integrity, & concern for others. Nothing 2do w/not being conventionally attractive, they’re not protective, chivalrous, attentive, worldly & principled.

Excuse me, "MAY" not want to admit it?

They'd melt like the 1939 Wicked Witch of the West if they ever came within pail-splash distance of admitting such a thing
