I've been thinking about making a cs for Damian Wayne as the new Robin. I know you don't like him, but it would be some interesting character development

Actually, the idea that Hitler rose to power peacefully isn't quite true. He used a hell of a lot of violence, even trying for a full-out violent take over as early as '23. Even after that failed, he used his SS paramilitary to eliminate political threats and bullied his way into office.
Moralistic forces can only take over a society if they have broad appeal. Religion tends to be the winner because it comes packaged with cosmological urgency. Fascism was only upheld with a certain amount of bullying. But tumblr's brand of extreme feminism? A movement that can't spread beyond teenage girls and sociology professors isn't going to become a real problem. It's just an easy target that means nothing.
<Snipped quote by Weird Tales>
Nope. They focus on it because they've fallen for the scapegoat fallacy. They don't try to improve themselves or the world around them. Rather, they blame their problems on an arbitrarily chosen scapegoat. It's like those Neo-Nazi's who blame their failures on other races instead of looking at themselves or the institutions that surround them. Picking a scapegoat is easy. It takes a certain amount of maturity and cool-headedness to recognize the more complicated reality, and too recognize that you are at least partially responsible for these things.
Feminism isn't a problem. There are certainly overzealous feminists in university settings, and on tumbler, but there are overzealous everything everywhere and most people don't pay them much attention. Don't get caught up on that.
<Snipped quote by Weird Tales>
I'm not sure feminism is the boogeyman you're looking for here. Men don't talk about their problems because of the "manly" ideals that have been instilled in them over hundreds of years, before Feminism even existed. You don't see men in ads because women are the ones addressing this, because no one has spent generations building a social construct that tells women not to tell people about their shit and only deal with everything themselves.
<Snipped quote by Weird Tales>
That's because women usually are the ones getting hit. It's not that it doesn't happen to men, but can you name a case that's happened recently where a man's partner got away with abuse just because? If there's abuse, and there's reasonable proof for it, the offender usually gets penalized.

Where? How is it that I've never once ran across this as an issue except for on the internet? Seriously, in my life if a women is an awful person, everyone acknowledges it. I've never seen any great race to protect her awfulness. At best she might have one or two pathetic fucks sucking up to her to try to get in her pants, but I've never seen any sort of grand social conspiracy.
<Snipped quote by Weird Tales>
Generally? Like if you have an issue with some women, be an awful person to all women? Or do you mean individually, like if a woman treats you bad, you don't owe her shit.? It's an important distinction. The former speaks of some significant personal issues, the latter is obvious advice.

Woop, gotta go write that down...
What happens if I only need a fifteen minute stand? That seems conservative enough. Can I ask for that?
