Millie and Charlie having some 'couple time'.

So people complain about millenials, calling them a bunch of stupid, clueless teenagers.

The problem with that is, most millenials were born between 1980 and 2000.

So, millennials are generally young adults suffering from a failing economy and a failed educational system, being portrayed as clueless children by the people who broke the economy and the educational system.

I hate when people say, “oh, those aren’t real feminists.”

When people say they’re a feminist, they’re a feminist, since the ideology has no joining rules, anybody can call themselves feminists.

The people that state d the kill all men hashtag are feminists.

The people who actively preach misandry are feminists.

TERFs are feminists.

The people who believe in equality are feminists.

That’s why the community is becoming so toxic, it’s because there are all these bad apples, and they make up the majority, causing the people who believe in equality to not be heard.

If feminism cares no one else needs to.
If feminism doesn’t care no one else should.

That's the message that seems to get around, because whenever MRAs and Feminists seem to share a concern, feminists became even more dismissive of MRAs.

Study finds that 1 out of 3 women watch porn at least once a week (http://nytlive.nytimes.com/womenintheworld/2015/10/22/study-finds-that-1-out-of-3-women-watch-porn-at-least-once-a-week/)

“In the survey, 31 percent of the women said they watched porn every week, another 30 percent said they did so a few times a month and 10 percent of respondents gets a daily fix.”

American girls are the world’s biggest consumers of Pornhub lesbian content (http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/11/18/american-girls-most-likely-to-search-lesbian-on-pornhub/)

Bringing up toxic masculinity (a sexist term by itself) on a post about male suicide always sounds like:

“They keep killing themselves because a part of their identity that they can’t ever change is literally poison so just like.. be less.. you...”

When women suffer because society expects them to behave in a certain set of ways, or because society doesn’t understand their needs and pains, feminists are eager to call it oppression.

Yet when this happens to men, they insist on using a term that casually places the blame on the victims.

And then they proclaim they are helping.

Also, women don’t attempt suicide more, that's fucking bullshit.

That claim comes from here (https://afsp.org/about-suicide/suicide-statistics/), which has this in the fine print:

“494,169 people visited a hospital for injuries due to self-harm. This number suggests that approximately 12 people harm themselves for every reported death by suicide. However, because of the way these data are collected, we are not able to distinguish intentional suicide attempts from non-intentional self-harm behaviors.“

You know what that means? It means if you, say, smash your thumb with a hammer, thats counted in this statistic as a suicide attempt. Stub your toe? tear off a nail? All counted as suicide attempts by this statistic. My little sister broke her finger by jamming it into a metal pole and trying to pole vault. On her chart, it was counted as self-harm because she did it to herself by accident, and that was thrown into the pool of suicide attempts as all self harm is.

Men commit suicide at 4x the rate of women and every time it’s brought up you cunts want to cry about ‘b-but women TRY more!’ but we don’t, we never have, and your lack of fucking compassion is sickening.

Ironically, the only people I have ever heard say "boys will be boys" in my lifetime are feminists saying that other people are using it as rape apology.

Apparently, they found that rape is negatively correlated with amount of porn watched. In other words, the more porn people watch, the less people feel the need to go out and rape someone. Food for thought, I suppose

What if i told you that a lot of “Americanized” versions of foods were actually the product of immigrant experiences and are not “bastardized versions”

For example, Chinese-American food is a really good example of this and this article provides a good intro to the history

http://firstwefeast.com/eat/2015/03/illustrated-history-of-americanized-chinese-food

In fact, many Italian immigrants came from the south (the poor) part of Italy, and were used to a mostly vegetable-based diet. However, when they came to the US they found foods that rich northern Italians were depicted as eating, such as sugar, coffee, wine, and meat, available for prices they could afford for the very first time. This is why Italian Americans were the first to combine meatballs with pasta, and why a lot of Italian American food is sugary and/or fattening. Italian American cuisine is a celebration of Italian immigrants’ newfound access to foods they hadn’t been able to access back home.

"WRONG
That calf is wearing a nose tag. Nose tags are put on calves so that they are able to stay with their mothers longer, but are unable to nurse. They don’t NEED to nurse as they get older, they just get greedier and pushier and will bash up the cow’s udder and bruise it with their noses.
Based on fur texture and face shape, that calf is at least six months old, probably older. Calves can survive without actual cow milk even at three months, though older is better (calves weaned that early are usually fed a sort of formula for another couple months).
Also, nose tags like that one don’t go through the cow’s septum. They basically work like those fake septum rings for humans.
In addition to weaning the calves, another use for nose tags is protecting non-lactating cows. Sometimes weanlings or even adult cows will suck on themselves or other non-lactating cows; this can cause internal teat scarring bad enough to prevent that teat or teats from ever working. It’s ugly, probably at least somewhat painful, and, if bad enough, would lead to the cow being slaughtered at a very young age because she can’t produce milk, has chronic mastitis, and/or can’t be milked with automatic milking equipment. So, nose tags actually prevent animal cruelty.
Most people don’t realize that in farming areas agriculture/horticulture/animal husbandry is part of public school education from as early on as 7th grade. Fifteen year old farm kids know more about what constitutes animal cruelty in farms than thirty year old vegans with, or without an agenda.
Also. if you really want good quality beef/pork/eggs/milk/etc you don’t abuse your animals. Ever. That’s not the point and if you want to make any kind of money off your career choice, you are going to treat those creatures better than you treat yourself. You’ll call a vet five times for an infection in your herd before you visit the hospital for a missing foot on your own leg.
Also this is a LOT nicer than what mother cows do to calves that won’t be weaned. You know what mother cows do to calves that won’t wean? kick them in the head. Now I don’t know about vegans, but I’d rather have a nose tag that discouraged me from injuring my mother (because calves that don’t wean tend to chew on udders and make mother cows bleed) rather than being kicked in the head."

Happy 4/20

Men who are accused of rape on a University campus can have their right of due process and trial by a jury of their peers stripped from them. In place of it, they can then be “convicted” by the university if the investigating body believes there is a 50.0001% chance that the man committed the rape.

https://studentactivism.net/2011/07/21/preponderance-of-the-evidence/

In addition, the accused is not allowed to seek any outside legal counsel, also taking away his right to an attorney. what this means is that men are literally stripped of constitutional rights to an actual investigation and can have their entire life ruined just because some dumbass sorority girl falsely accused them. and lets be real here who do you think they’re gonna side with? thats right. the girl. nobody’s gonna side with a college guy. people already think they’re the scum of the earth right? and now they’ve got some poor girl with crocodile tears enforcing that belief. that guy is pretty much fucked.

Social Justice Warriors do not view all humans as equal
Using a “privilege” hierarchy, SJW’s calculate the worth of a human being based on perceived injustices or wrongs that group has suffered since the time of ancestral man, using selective and narrow interpretations of history. SJW’s elevate groups that they believe have received the least amount of “privilege” in the past, and then use internet activism in the form of mobs and community purges to target those who are determined to have greater amounts of privilege. The idea of privilege is so essential to SJW ideology that a common debate tactic they use is to say “check your privilege,” which roughly translates to, “you must immediately halt or change your speech because your ancestors may or may not have done bad things to others centuries ago.”

For example, if a notable white American male makes a joke about a lesbian black woman who practices Islam, SJW’s will coordinate using a combination of blogs, Youtube, and social networking to dox him (publish his personal information, including where he works). They will then pressure the man’s company by flooding it with calls and messages with the goal to remove his source of income while engaging in a mass reporting campaign to get his online accounts suspended.

Their ultimate goal is to silence all speech that they don’t like and which they find offensive while also punishing the speech offender by removing his source of income. As they grow in power, the acceptable range of speech that would trigger a SJW witch hunt is becoming more narrow, and those who are high up on the privilege hierarchy (white men) have to speak through a careful filter if they don’t want to be subject to an SJW attack.

SJW’s make a big show of wanting “equality,” but as the Animal Farm quote goes: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” They absolutely do not believe that a man deserves the same treatment that should be given to a woman of his same race. When they say “equality,” what they really mean is to apply special benefits to protected groups in order to create equality based on their subjective perception and feeling. They even go so far as to claim that women and non-whites can not possibly be racist against white men, they are “correcting historical wrongs and injustices,” not being a racist individual.

If you want to do a simple test that hurts an SJW’s argument that she is about equality, ask her the following: “Do you believe a black woman is equal to a white woman?” They will squirm mightily and may look to the left and right at their SJW friends to know what they think first before giving you a muddled answer that is inconsistent with their other stated beliefs.

Circumcision, more points that should be addressed:

FUNCTIONS OF THE FORESKIN (http://www.drmomma.org/2009/09/functions-of-foreskin-purposes-of.html):

Protection: The foreskin protects the glans, keeping it soft, warm and moist. It also helps balance pH and keep the glans clean. Because the glans itself has no sebaceous glands, which keep our skin moisturized and soft, the foreskin provides this service.
The foreskin also protects the whole penis from insults such as abrasions, contusions, lacerations, and burns.

Self-cleansing: The penis is an entry point for foreign microbes, just like the mouth and other orifices. Luckily, evolution has already conceived a solution; the urine of a healthy person is sterile and acts as a disinfectant. In an intact male, the urine swirls through the inside of the foreskin, naturally washing away any dangerous microbes. There is never urea found in the foreskin, however, because it also secretes cleansing fluids, similar to the eye (or the vagina).

Infant protection: In a young human, the foreskin is attached to the glans and protects the urethra from foreign contamination. The neck of the foreskin puts the urinary meatus (the hole from which urine/semen flow) at a safe distance from the external environment. Even when the foreskin unfuses from the glans and becomes retractable, it still spends most of its time covering the glans, protecting it from contamination and injury. An infant needs the built-in protection of an immovable foreskin because it is not yet able to consciously protect its genitals.

Immunity: The foreskin contains glands that produce antibacterial and antiviral proteins such as lysozyme, which is also found in breast milk and tears. Langerhan’s cells, which are an epithelial cell found all over the body and a component of the immune system, are abundant in the foreskin. The mucous membrane of the foreskin secretes immunoglobulin, an antibody. The foreskin also houses beneficial bacteria, just like the vagina, our gut, our skin, and pretty much every other part of the body. The beneficial bacteria are similar to those found at other entry points to the body, and help kill pathogens.

Sexual pleasure: The foreskin is very sensitive during sex, and facilitates smooth, painless motions during an erection and intercourse. It can sense very fine changes in temperature, texture, and motion. Its own self-lubricating qualities (precum, if you will) allow the penis to slide effortlessly and pleasurably within the foreskin and the vagina, reducing friction and eliminating the need for artificial lubricants.

Reasons not to circumcise:

Circumcision has no beneficial medical effects (http://www.circinfo.org/AAP_in_retreat.html)

There is a notable decrease in sexual pleasure among circumcised men (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17155977)

Circumcision decreases efficiency of nerve response in the glans (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17378847)

Circumcision is linked to pain, trauma, and sequelae (http://www.cirp.org/library/psych/boyle6/ , https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9057731 , http://www.cirp.org/library/psych/goldman1/ , http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/9712/23/circumcision.anesthetic/)

Large damage is dealt to erogenous tissue by circumcision (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8800902 , http://www.nocirc.org/symposia/second/taylor.html)

Circumcised penises requires more care in first 3 years of life (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23374102?dopt=Abstract)

Circumcision leads to abnormal brain development and psychological issues (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10657682 , http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1464-410x.1999.0830s1093.x/abstract;jsessionid=D435164CDFE936C050A047F39518A9ED.f03t02 )

Circumcision decreases penile sensitivity (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23374102?dopt=Abstract)

Circumcision is associated with sexual difficulties (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21672947)

Circumcision causes difficulty gaining sexual pleasure (http://www.businessinsider.com/does-circumcision-cause-orgasm-problems-for-men-and-women-2011-11)

Compilation of notable complications from circumcision (http://www.cirp.org/library/complications/williams-kapila/)

Poorly educated doctors do not know how to clean a foreskin (https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/moral-landscapes/201110/what-is-the-greatest-danger-uncircumcised-boy , https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/moral-landscapes/201110/doctor-ignorance-male-anatomy-harms-boys)

For most boys, there is no hygiene benefit from circumcision (http://www.cirp.org/library/general/wallerstein/)

The only benefits occur in arid areas with poor hygiene (http://jme.bmj.com/content/30/3/238.short)

The HIV/AIDS risk decrease from circumcision claim is inflated (http://jme.bmj.com/content/36/12/798)

There is no case for widespread implementation of circumcision to stop HIV/AIDS (https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/moral-landscapes/201109/more-circumcision-myths-you-may-believe-hygiene-and-stds)

Circumcision does not decrease the incidence of STDs (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9091693)

Parents choose circumcision for psychosocial factors instead of health ones (http://www.circumcision.org/policy.htm)

Although circumcision does reduce the risk of a UTI, these infections only affect 1% of boys. (http://adc.bmj.com/content/90/8/853.full) Circumcision as a preventative measure for a condition that rare is laughable.

Circumcision also reduces the risk of penile cancer, but again, penile cancer is so rare that only about 1 in 900 men will develop it anyways. (https://www.cancer.org/cancer/penile-cancer/causes-risks-prevention/prevention.html)

Medical institutions against circumcision:

Swedish Pediatric Society (they outright call for a ban) (http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2012/02/19/Swedish-doctors-urge-ban-on-circumcision/UPI-61961329678560/)

Royal Dutch Medical Association calls it a violation of human rights, and calls for a “strong policy of deterrence.” (https://www.knmg.nl/web/file?uuid=579e836d-ea83-410f-9889-feb7eda87cd5&owner=a8a9ce0e-f42b-47a5-960e-be08025b7b04&contentid=77976)

College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia: “This procedure should be delayed to a later date when the child can make his own informed decision. Parental preference alone does not justify a non‐therapeutic procedure… Current evidence indicates that previously‐thought prophylactic public health benefits do not out‐weigh the potential risks… Routine infant male circumcision does cause pain and permanent loss of healthy tissue.” (https://www.cpsbc.ca/files/u6/Circumcision-Infant-Male.pdf)

The German Association of Pediatricians called for a ban. (http://msnbcvvd.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/10/10/14347482-german-cabinet-approves-controversial-circumcision-bill)

The German Association of Child and Youth Doctors attacked the AAP’s claims, saying the benefits they claim, including HIV reduction, are “questionable,” and that “Seen from the outside, cultural bias reflecting the normality of non-therapeutic male circumcision in the US seems obvious, and the report’s conclusions are different from those reached by doctors in other parts of the Western world, including Europe, Canada, and Australia.” (scroll to page 7 for the English translation.) (https://www.kinderaerzte-im-netz.de/startseite/)

The AAP was recently attacked by the President of the British Association of Paediatric Urologists because the evidence of benefit is weak, and they are promoting “Irreversible mutilating surgery.” (http://www.nature.com/news/doctors-back-circumcision-1.11296 is the article supporting the practice)

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan has taken a position against it, saying it is harmful and will likely be considered illegal in the future, given the number of men who are angry that it was done to them. (http://www.cmaj.ca/content/167/5/532.2.full)

The Central Union for Child Welfare “considers that circumcision of boys that violates the personal integrity of the boys is not acceptable unless it is done for medical reasons to treat an illness. The basis for the measures of a society must be an unconditional respect for the bodily integrity of an under-aged person… Circumcision can only be allowed to independent major persons, both women and men, after it has been ascertained that the person in question wants it of his or her own free will and he or she has not been subjected to pressure.” (http://www.childcentre.info/10595/)

The Royal College of Surgeons of England: “The one absolute indication for circumcision is scarring of the opening of the foreskin making it non- retractable (pathological phimosis). This is unusual before five years of age.”……..“The parents and, when competent, the child, must be made fully aware of the implications of this operation as it is a non-reversible procedure.”
The British Medical Association: it is now widely accepted, including by the BMA, that this surgical procedure has medical and psychological risks… The BMA considers that the evidence concerning health benefit from non-therapeutic circumcision is insufficient for this alone to be a justification for doing it. (https://www.rcseng.ac.uk/error/not-found/?item=%2fpublications%2fdocs%2fmale_circumcision%2f&user=rcseng%5cAnonymous&site=website)

The Australian Medical Association has a policy of discouraging it, and says “The Australian College of Paediatrics should continue to discourage the practice of circumcision in newborns.” (http://www.cirp.org/library/statements/ama2/)

The Australian College of Paediatrics: “The possibility that routine circumcision may contravene human rights has been raised because circumcision is performed on a minor and is without proven medical benefit…. Neonatal male circumcision has no medical indication. (http://www.cirp.org/library/statements/acp1996/)

The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons: “Despite uncircumcised men reporting greater sexual satisfaction, which was statistically significant, Kigozi et al (2008) concluded that adult male circumcision does not adversely affect sexual satisfaction or clinically significant function in men.” (http://www.surgeons.org/media/292210/Male_non-therapeutic_circumcision.pdf)

The Norwegian Council of Medical Ethics states that ritual circumcision of boys is not consistent with important principles of medical ethics, that it is without medical value, and should not be paid for with public funds. (http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/gulbrandsen1/)

The Norwegian Children’s Ombudsman is opposed as well. (http://www.crin.org/en/library/news-archive/norway-ombudsman-proposes-setting-minimum-age-male-circumcision)

The Denmark National Council for Children is also opposed. (https://www.crin.org/en/library/news-archive/denmark-plan-ban-all-circumcision)

And recently, the politically appointed Health minister of Norway opposed a ban on circumcision, yet the ban was supported by the Norwegian Medical Association, the Norwegian Nurses Organization, the Norwegian Ombudsman for Children, and the University of Oslo. (https://www.thelocal.no/20120703/minister-says-no-to-circumcision-ban-)
