The idea that children don't deserve good media is kind of wild to me.

An open source package that would replace adobe would be a game changer.

About the bear...
Made me realize (hyperbole) how literal people are, how ready some are to dig their heels in and not interested in listening at all. If one ever had a conversation with a women (hyperbole), the unsafe feeling is something that comes up pretty often (I guess the women has to feel safe around you - so maybe there is that) and is sadly based on personal negative experiences they had.

Scientists push new paradigm of animal consciousness, saying even insects may be sentient
Reply in thread
Insects don't really have brains. The complexity of their ganglia is not really comparable to what we consider a brain and seems rather unlikely that they have anything like our consciousness, just due to the difference in complexity. Does not mean we should treat them like shit, they are living creatures - but also not sure why we need to pretend they are something they are clearly not.

It's not an argument it's an analogy, that can help understand the argument.

About the bear...
Reply in thread
“If I was given a choice to be stranded in the woods with either a bear or a woman, I would choose the bear, because the bear wouldn’t accuse me of raping it if I ignored it.”
Seem like you are actually in a place to understand from your own experience what women are trying to communicate with that whole bear thing. Next step would be to try to have an empathic connection instead of a defensive one. The anger and frustration are not directed at you as an individual but are an expression of experiences, those nuances are often lost in online, non personal communication. What helps is to have more personal communication, better in an offline environment.

If you are into animation than old stuff is amazing source of inspiration since they had to overcome rather harsh technical limitation. I loved animation as a teen and old and experimental animation was right down my alley. Obviously not for everyone.

It would be strange to blame the right for the failure of the left to succeed - it's kind of their goal.

It's a community to discuss men issues predominantly through the lens of feminism. Care to explain the joke?

So glad you brought it up. Not only sex but romantic partnership in general seems to be the one thing people need to somehow figure out on their own.

"a feminist community for men" doesn't sound very liberating
Reply in thread
Sure. From my point of view man and women both struggle from the same societal structures, be it in quite different ways. Feminism addressees those societal structures from the perspective of women and in more recent times other marginalized groups. While sure it's not a lens specifically developed to view male issues, for me personally it's been a helpful tool to empathize with women in general and to question societal or interpersonal structures (like man has to be the provider for the family or what the hell is family anyway?). You have a rather antagonistic view on feminism, maybe based on your own negative experiences or maybe influenced by certain media bubbles. So you might not find the discussions in this community very helpful.

Putting a label on a person is no different than putting a handle on your coffee pot.
So rather useful?

Non feminist male communities tend to devolve into misogynistic places. What exactly is your problem with feminism, except the name?
