Thanks for the feedback.
I'll address some of what you've said so that I'm not misunderstood. At the same time, don't consider this disagreement to be too harsh.
I'll also try to match the political affect as you have, though I don't want to break the rules.
Funnily enough, I'm fairly left on a lot of issues. I don't keep up to date with budgets or financial policy, or have in-depth fiscal knowledge, so a lot of my leftward views are socially-oriented. I am aware that other countries have working healthcare models, for example, that are considered very left.
Also. I'm a reasonably strong and slim guy. Traditional dresser. I like traditional masculinity and acting on it. I like guns and martial arts.
One element of masculinity is the ability to call out bad dynamics and covert bullshit. Their words can burn away the bullshit. I like that.
I'm also aware of the 'blue haired harpie' type who wouldn't give a damn if a falsely-accused man is sent to prison for a r@p$ charge, and don't care about the well-being and well-adjustment of young men today.
On the other hand, I think that some guys are obstinate, bitter assholes, unyielding to any social change or progress, and assign the worst motives to their opponents, who dress those views up as 'masculinity', then consider masculinity to be under attack when they are criticized for their socially-maladjusted views. Those are the 'Oakley sunglass-wearing car-selfie' type. I can elaborate if you wawnt.
Additionally, I do not want to live in a society that activates its collective outrage and lashes out against a drawing of their favorite person; such a place is not 'tolerant', with results speaking for themselves. Our struggle is that without a hard moral line, or lacking a set of ethical precepts, we need to go through the trouble of piecing it together ourselves.
