You know how feminists sometimes say that women's rights is better for everyone?
This is why.
Men being treated better is bad for men. Because it raises their expectations while lowering their ability to reach that bar without help. That's why you get sociopaths on Reddit obsessed with being cuckolded, because they were raised with the expectation that men are in charge and women aren't, so when they can't take charge and women can, their egos can't handle it, they see it as being denied what is theirs. This isn't to dismiss the problems women have or say that men justnhave it so hard, it's just that we've created a large group of young men who can't emotionally cope with the idea of an egalitarian society.

This also applies to white racial resentment - people of a certain type are loath to accept that the system of everything has been rigged in their favor for hundreds of years, effectively putting an asterisk on nearly everything they consider to be the product of their labor because of a multigenerational "easy conference schedule" handicap. Cue a few generations of the shackles starting to be pried off and a black president and you get the brokebrained hordes screaming about white genocide.

you're deliberately ignoring the broader point in that the vast majority of these roles presented are simply a circumference around a societal role that is ceasing to exist for a huge number of men who are coming of age today

and again I've tried to articulate that maybe this is difficult to communicate because the jargon to describe it simply doesn't exist like you can say "master's tools" to a feminist scholar and they know exactly what you mean by that, discussing some of the specific issues facing men doesn't really seem to have that level of convenient short-hand

anyway maybe don't be such an rear end in a top hat dude

at my community college i got a part-time job stuffing acceptance letters and i got a cubicle and would have a stack of hundreds of them and just put some netflix on the computer and stuff envelopes and take lots of breaks to browse the internet and i clicked a hidden meatspin link on a forum once right when some full time people walked by my cubicle and there is no way they didn't see a spinning penis but i never said anything and neither did they but so much shame was felt.

that job was pretty chill though other than accidental porn

they probably nodded sagely and shook their heads disapprovingly as soon as you averted your eyes in shame

you missed out on friends for life bro.

a lot of students show me their drafts on their phones, which is nuts to me that they are writing papers on their phones but whatever more power to them. i'll be reading their argument for why college athletes should be paid and then a text will pop up with "you're an addict lol" and i don't give a gently caress that they get high but they are so brave. like, what if they get a sext while i'm reading their paper? kids today!

i pray to lord jesus every night that i never have to have another job where people can see my screen.

at the same time, i live in fear that i will connect my laptop to the class projector one day and big wet rear end or something will pop up on the screen for the class to see.

again, stuff like big wet rear end doesn't bother me because it's explicitly batshit in a batshit world that we live in. if the illegitimate puppet president is donald, then I can look at big wet rear end without shame

anime, however, has the unfortunate fascist/reddit sentiments tied to it now, and I'd rather be associated with big wet rear end than proto-fascist reddit nerds.

Hell that's still a role reserved almost exclusively for comedy because it's still considered a juxtaposition and not normal.

novels written on cell phones are super popular in Japan. iirc the chapters are only like 200 words long, so they are much shorter than an average novel, but probably still a lot longer than the average student paper. I can't even imagine writing anything remotely long-form like that

most of my students wouldn't associate it with the alt-right but with weird poo poo that white people are into.

which is kinda the same thing and accurate i guess

By far the best indicator of the way that movie's future society maps its reservoir of care onto reality is the giant oversized filters on those cigarettes that space-mcclane smokes.

Whether this concern for appearance extends to matters of sexual propriety is be the subject of your next essay (due Monday)
