Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You claim to want to help men but you insult weakness and drag down people trying to help? I'm sorry, but this undermines everything you're trying to say. At this point I can't even be sure you're not simply a misogynist troll play acting as a leftist.

If you truly care about helping people, consider that attacking other people trying to help is counterproductive. Also consider that your approach is clearly combative, and that anger is something you need to address.

I'm not blocking you because I don't know if you'll see this if I do. But if you reply, I'll know you have.

You need to accept the discomfort of disagreement or you don't have my respect. This isn't just weak shit, it's repugnant: stop trying to police tone. I'm not a misogynist troll just because your feelings got hurt or whatever it is you're trying to cover up.

Weakness doesn't stop existing just because you've read enough theory.

Also consider that your approach is clearly combative, and that anger is something you need to address.

Don't delegitimize anger, that's basically why you're failing here and generally. No shit it's combative. So what?

Just because you're trying to help doesn't mean you're good at helping. You feel motivated to block me, that's another man for the trash can who thought his feminist credentials would, by themselves, prevent his opinions from being critiqued.

it's not tone policing, honey, you're just being an asshole on the internet
