(42,522 posts)One if my co-workers brings in his magazines, like esquire and Details-- the last basically a fashion magazine for men. So I read esquire quite often. And like this article, they tend to be condescending and shortsighted. I don't get mad----esquire readers, if they're not Gay like my friend (shit like this goes right over his head) if they buy into this shit are ridiculous fools, often educated, often with good incomes, but whiny bastards.
I just turn it around.

There really was; they drank and smoked and worked and were seeped in ignorance and toxic masculinity about life and didn't view women as actual human beings. Even today you can see the dying gasps of this attitude. Say, insisting there is only one valid point of view for rape statistics for instance. Dinosaurs, that don't know there time is almost over. Of course the HL ruling and patently ridiculous but constant arguments about rape makes me thinks the dinosaurs aren't quite headed for extinction yet.
