Nothing really new in the video but a nice plug all the same.

Comments have some choice "real men don't"

[Freedomforall]

The comments reflect horrendous qualities that humans choose to perpetuate. These are self righteousness, jealousy, and a plethora of others. People seem to always judge those they feel superior to.

My comment:
I'm 72 years old and wear skirts and tank-top, solid color dresses. In this heat, these items help keep me cool.
I do wear a Hawaiian style shirt over the dresses. Western ideas need to re-think the possibility that a man
CAN RECLAIM a historical male garment. The male of the species has always been the flamboyant, brightly
colored member of any species.

Plus, I have no need to ride horseback so, why wear pants?

The comments seem to be split into (in no particular order):
1. Nothing new in it.
2. Live and let live.
3. It's ridiculous.
4. A man like that is not for me.
5. Not a real man.

I expect their definition of a real man is equally unrealistic.

Found this article from Finland. Short article as old as the hills. The comments are leagues apart. That is they are all positive. Is that translating into opportunities for men in Finland ten years later?

Ah ye ole' comment section....

Someday we're going to find a way to generate electricity from dumb ass opinions and on that day we'll solve the world energy crisis for eternity... either that or rip a hole in the universe....

Another thing to consider about blasted "comment sections" is how much of that is actually penned by real humans anymore. I'm completely convinced that nations hostile to the U.S. (Russia, China, etc) have completely infiltrated American/European social media with chatbots programmed to, sow discord and get the "real citizens" all fired up.

In the old days, Russia and China used to have to lease out buildings in the U.S. and set up what I like to call "bullsh!t mills" to turn out divisive propaganda on the internet. Now with A.I., it's run into overdrive. But there may be hope on the horizon. Many people are spending less and less time actually online, reading and commenting anymore. Everything has gotten so watered down, it's so hard to find real content anymore.

Oh sure, there are exceptions, there are actual people that sit down and pound out nasty remarks online, but take a moment to consider the poor sap wasting his/her life with this. Imagine having such a sh!tty life that you find it necessary to sit on social media on an otherwise beautiful day and pound out vitriol online. It's really quite pathetic, especially when you consider the fact that these opinions really don't matter. I repeat... they DON'T MATTER.

If you're going to waste your life, at the very least, do things to promote the soul, not kill it. Otherwise you'll wind up like my father, a broken down old man, sitting in a windowless basement room, hating everything, ranting constantly, and always thinking the world is about to come to an end... it's no way to live friends...

And yes, I realize I'm pounding out a useless OPINION right now, but you know what... consider the frequency of my commenting here lately. And I'm on call, and you all know when I'm on call, I sit on skirtcafe all day waiting on the phone to go off. But later today if I don't get paged to work, I'm taking my small charcoal grill to Johnson City to grill cheeseburgers with a 20 year old new hire spending two weeks with us to help us get caught up. Afterwards I intend to challenge him to a game of Super Mario Kart on my old Super Nintendo. That console is older than my coworker...

We'll see if I've still got it, and can this old midaged balding man throw down with this younger generation??

Not if I'm able to select Koopa Troopa.

It will be a 16bit fight to the finish.... and nary a comment section in sight!

We have a problem here. If we hook "Artificial Intelligence" to such a device we shall have achieved "Perpetual Motion" which is well-known as a physical impossibility. Something will have to give here.

Ah, but you forget, we're living in a simulation, situated on a Earth that is simultaneously flat and hollow at the same time. Nothing is impossible when nonsense is on the menu.

That's a perspective that I keep forgetting, that is that what people are writing on the Web is to a greater extent.. a crock.
It's also wearing that the people most likely to comment are people spreading hate and vitriol. In their own little world they are always right and all this new stuff needs to be stopped.
However.
I took the time to post the Finnish comments because they were so good. Very complementary about MIS and for some reason the benefit to the hunter. This was mixed in with how men outside of Western couture are still enjoying the freedom brought by skirts.
That said tonight I'm am at a 50th birthday party and here, gender norms ie menswear/womenwear is still firmly entrenched and isn't bufging one inch and I'm in my regulation trousers and shirt. My youngest is still in his skirt. He couldn't care less!

Oh my goodness!! Thank you for saying this. I have been thinking I must be crazy for wondering if this has been happening. It is very much like the old days of propaganda such as occurred in World War 2 where leaflets were dropped over cities.

The definition of a "real man" for many is George Straight. That perfect jean wearing manly cowboy. I've seen so many Facebook memes that portray him as the ideal male.

There are many things that heterosexual men used to wear and do that are now the domain of women.

And the list for men is reaching the bare minimum.
