    What more is there? What's your criteria for manliness? I bet its sound advice for any gender, (anatomical differences aside).

    There are no health benefits to not eating meat. That's just more BS from the loony left.

    My grandma used to own a meat packing plant and she used to always say, "the Chinese fellas who work for us live forever, but it takes 6 of them to pack what 1 white guy can". They didn't eat a lot of meat, and she was from a different era, so don't judge too harshly, haha.

    Everything has pros and cons.

    My only problem with "progressive" types, on any given subject, is they always seek to change laws to force coercion.

    My ultimate example to people who think by being left they are supporting freedom is this, plenty of socialist compounds exist within a capitalist society, there is no such thing as a capitalist compound existing in a socialist society.

    I don't ever see meat eaters banning vegetarians. I can see vegetarians banning meat eaters with ease.

    Even if there are macho vegetarians in micro occasions, I think it was the macro sense in which the poster you were talking to was making a connection between vegetarianism and the assault on natural masculinity.

    Based on what I read, its not BS though. Not the most vital bit of schooling' but still helpful/ interesting enough for a class.

    The author is the one with the new and revolutionary views, who thinks they are worthy of a college level course.

    For those who are worried about "enlightement", just know, we have free public libraries in every town, with the knowledge of the universe at one's fingertips. If they don't have the book, they'll order it from another library. People educated themselves for centuries, and one could correlate that lack of genius in areas like philiosophy directly tied to the fact we don't anymore.

    All humans should be encouraged to read. To encourage human beings that "enlightenment" can only come from paying '20k to who-knows-what a year' in fees to universities is snake oil barbarism.

    Well, were I to take the class I'm sure it'd help me get a laugh!

    But in all seriousness, it probably fills either a "humanities" or "diversity" credit or something like that. Plus, I do think its useful for people to challenge themselves and that includes how and why we say what we are and what exactly that means. YMMV

    Anything an individual wants to pay for with his own money is fine.
    I don't want to pay off a bunch of student loans for students who feel the need to challenge their views of their own gender. And I certainly don't want tax money subsidizing those schools to pay for it either

    No it's not. There are tangible and real benefits. Primarily, it's FAR easier to keep cholesterol and blood sugars in check when no animal fats are consumed. There is also a lowered risk for many cancers. These are very well researched and proven facts.

    There is clearly more, else there wouldn't be courses like this one. As for what that 'more' is, is up to the individual ... not some Progressive boffin.

    Run at them with a sword and scream "BOO!".

    Funny, my dear departed grandmother used to say that the reason people in the Middle East were 'always angry' (which is what she absolutely believed about them ... gawd love her), was their excessive consumption of meat, and their lack of fresh fruit and vegies. Her theory was that this diet made them all constipated .. hence the hair trigger. Mind you, she was saying this in the 1940s. Genius!

    It will only attract the deeply self-absorbed, and it will then make them more so. Young adults need to spend more time looking outwards, and far less thinking about their feelings. Look at the productive and focused Asian kids ... they survive the travails of youth, don't become violent or abusive (mostly), land well paid jobs, and all without ever contemplating their own navels.

    Challenge themselves physically, professionally, academically, and perhaps morally (in the most pragmatic sense possible) - yes, but not 'feelingsly'.

    well, all things in moderation, and this includes animal fats.

    But it's no skin off my chicken if your vegan friends don't want to eat meat. I was directing my ire towards those SJW vegans who don't eat meat because they worry about the animals being killed. There are many like them, and they need to be told to shut up.

    What is the metabolic pathway for changing fat into glucose?
    Please show the intermediates and the enzymes involved.

    You do realize that the new AHA/ACC guidelines no longer classify dietary cholesterol as a risk factor for high serum levels?

    Out of curiosity, are conservative women really men? I swear they are more authentically masculine than half the male population these days.

    "Man" is dictated by genitals. There are no varying levels. "Masculinity" has various levels, and if one was so inclined as to believe things such as "expressing feelings" are inherently feminine, then said person might also believe that all women are now more masculine than half the men.

    I think one could actually learn more about this from outside of academia, by studying the MGTOW and Red Pill movements.

    Men all over are figuring out that jerks get more tail, and like everything else in our society, alternate sources supplying "truth" to those whose brains won't accept the programming has led to another huge gap - in sex.

    Now you have men all over who are either pushovers or predators. Women are compensating by having both around, the pushover to pay the bills, and the predator to make them orgasm on nights out with the girls. On a lunch break from work, on her trip to Starbucks, etc.

    Yes there is. Pretty much one could study just about any John Wayne movie.
