Civics 101 Guidelines

Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!

Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

So what is this toxic masculinity thing anyhow?

    Jim, showing a little more respect for women doesn't mean a lack of respect for men. I can respect women, but treat my wife with greater respect.

      Yes women were oppressed in the past, just as blacks were oppressed in the past, to our shame. But we now know better and treat ALL people with equal respect because it is the right thing to do.

        Tass, if your mother is still alive (apologies if she's not) do you treat her 100% exactly the same as ALL people?

          As I told told you before, treating all people with respect does mean that we treat everybody in the exact same way. I'm not sure why this is so hard for you lunkheads to understand.

            No she's not actually, but of course one does not treat loved ones "the same as all other people". They are special and we treat than as special.

              And I think women are special so I treat them special.

                I was actually referring to family and close loved ones, but I guess you knew that.

                  But why so prejudiced? Why not treat ALL people exactly the same?

                    This is precisely what I'm advocating. Equal treatment for all, male and female. The exception being of course, our loved ones.

                      Actually that is exactly what it does. If you are showing more respect for women in certain regards, then you are showing less respect for men. Simple math.

                      I can respect women, but treat my wife with greater respect.
                      What does that even mean? Do you mean to say that you open the car door for your wife, but not for other women?

                        Only to a boob.

                        I believe you run zero risk of being accused of being a gentleman.

                          Why them? What makes them more special than ALL other people? That's entirely subjective. Why not love everybody equally?

                            It is love, either familial or romantic, that makes some people more special than others.

                                And I love being a gentleman to ladies. You got a problem with that?
