    And what this is actually displaying is the "world view bias" that allows belief in "stories" written by sites such as "truth revolt".

    I mean REALLY??? You clicked on a site called "truth revolt" and did not even think to suspect it might be a conspiracy theory site with zero actual content or truth? Tell me - does it have stories of green aliens abducting people as well?

    He doesn't know why feminism exists. Women haven't been seen as equals for our entire existence so when it starts happening weak "men" like him get scared and start screaming about mens rights. He's afraid of women.
    But the real truth is women are afraid of men. Men kill women. They rape. They assault women. Very disproportionately I may add. Feminism wouldn't exist if people like [MENTION=66888]Aphotic[/MENTION] saw women as his equal.

    He did enjoy slapping women around and drinking and he did love his guns so this is an accurate description of a republican man.

    It's about feelings, but this course sounds like it wants men to feel like they're women. I'll bet the course are led by women. So we have women trying to tell men how to be men. Bruce Jenner should sign up.

    He didn't die from smoking (lung cancer).

    Libs hate masculine men who stand up for traditional values.

    Victim-Oppressor politics....

    The High Church of Progressivism generally holds that maleness, heterosexuality and whiteness are the primary precursors to "oppressive behavior".

    and isn't it funny how the Priests and congregation have given themselves, and only themselves, the authority to stereotype along racial, sexual orientation, and gender lines?

    Are these the trad values you love
    On Tuesday, Aissa Wayne, the daughter of the late silver screen legend John Wayne, endorsed Donald Trump for president at the John Wayne Birthplace Museum in Iowa.

    Trump showed up for the endorsement, as John Wayne remains a conservative icon more than 35 years after his death. Wayne’s star shines on among Republicans in spite of the fact that he had some really not-so-progressive ideas about race, as the recent re-surfacing of several damning interviews with the actor have reminded us.

    In a May 1971 interview with Playboy, for example, Wayne comes across as, at best, an old crank and, at worst, as an outright racist and homophobe.

    On the 1970 Best Picture Winner, Midnight Cowboy (responding to the question of what types of films he considered “perverted”):

    Wouldn’t you say that the wonderful love of those two men in Midnight Cowboy, a story about two (*)(*)(*)(*), qualifies?

    On African-Americans:

    We can’t all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of the blacks.

    …

    I believe in white supremacy, until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility.

    …

    The academic community has developed certain tests that determine whether the blacks are sufficiently equipped scholastically. But some blacks have tried to force the issue and enter college when they haven’t passed the tests and don’t have the requisite background.

    …

    I don’t feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves. Now, I’m not condoning slavery. It’s just a fact of life, like the kid who gets infantile paralysis and has to wear braces so he can’t play football with the rest of us.

    …

    I think any black who can compete with a white today can get a better break than a white man. I wish they’d tell me where in the world they have it better than right here in America.

    In light of the Academy Awards not nominating a person of color in any acting categories for a second year in a row, Wayne’s comments are emblematic of the sort of thinking that allowed something like that to happen repeatedly in Hollywood’s Golden Age. Asked what he thinks of the perceived color barrier in Hollywood at the time, he says:

    I’ve directed two pictures and I gave the blacks their proper position. I had a black slave in The Alamo, and I had a correct number of blacks in The Green Berets. If it’s supposed to be a black character, naturally I use a black actor. But I don’t go so far as hunting for positions for them. I think the Hollywood studios are carrying their tokenism a little too far. There’s no doubt that 10 percent of the population is black, or colored, or whatever they want to call themselves; they certainly aren’t Caucasian. Anyway, I suppose there should be the same percentage of the colored race in films as in society. But it can’t always be that way. There isn’t necessarily going to be 10 percent of the grips or sound men who are black, because more than likely, 10 percent haven’t trained themselves for that type of work.

    …

    It’s just as hard for a white man to get a card in the Hollywood craft unions.



    Wayne didn’t only repeatedly offend African-Americans in the interview though. He also manages to call Native Americans “selfish” when asked if he feels any empathy for them:

    I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, if that’s what you’re asking. Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.

    …

    Look, I’m sure there have been inequalities. If those inequalities are presently affecting any of the Indians now alive, they have a right to a court hearing. But what happened 100 years ago in our country can’t be blamed on us today.

    Wayne pivots a question about Indian reservations and dehumanization into a short response about how the socialists want to put everyone on reservations. Then in referring to takeover of Alcatraz by Native American activists and whether they should be given the land, he remarks that it’s a great idea if they pay for it, adding, “I hope they haven’t been careless with their wampum.”

    To sum it up, Wayne meant every word:

    I’ve always followed my father’s advice: He told me, first, to always keep my word and, second, to never insult anybody unintentionally. If I insult you, you can be (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) sure I intend to.

    Aissa Wayne said in her endorsement, “If John Wayne were around, he’d be standing right here instead of me.” As we’ve seen time and again on the campaign trail and at Trump rallies, she’s probably right.

    I clicked on your site. Every single story is a hyperbolic (that means hyped up) outrage over some supposed attack on "republicans"

    It is selling you paranoia

    Instead of "aliens coming to get you" it has simply changed the wording to become "Liberals are coming to get you"

    Dear Lords and Ladies!! In typing this the autocorrect changed a mistyping of become to Beyoncé - is that a "Librul plot" too???

    Totally nailed the criteria. No doubt what he was going for.

    Ah yes, challenging the virility of the projected label. That gets them every time.

    I respectfully disagree. There IS a code to being a man. It is unfortunate that not enough men from previous generations took the time to impart it to their sons.

    Guns make the 90 pound old man equal to the 200 pound criminal. They take masculinity out of the equation.

    How's that? Maybe the 90 pound man panics and freezes. Maybe he misses his mark and shoots a passerby. Maybe the 200 pound man wasn't gonna harm the 90 pound man but saw the 90 pound man pull his gun so he had to shoot him.

    Many Democratic Progressives are furious that they are not going to get Hilary Clinton's war with Russia and can't stop ranting about it.

    Spell check is your friend. :roll:

    - - - Updated - - -

    The Progressive stance generally is that the 90 pound old man has a duty to allow himself to be beaten or murdered for the greater good of society. Defending yourself is strictly prohibited as the assailant must not be harmed.

    In my example, the strong masculine man is a criminal. Using your logic, police officers should not be allowed to carry a weapon because they sometimes miss!

    In your example, guns are masculine.

    Now you can tell us how a young lady protecting herself from being raped and murdered is masculine.
