I thought this way for years. Turns out men actually want to be men, and I am much happier being a girl!

As seen on reddit (no surprise). Alpha Male instructor tells his "new alphas" to behave in the real world after graduating his bootcamp .

If you are well enough read or even if you just listen to a lot of Behind the Bastards, you ought to be able to see the emulation of Nazi fitness club culture, Nazi patriarchy culture, and Christian patriarchy culture. This is intentional on their part and I don't think they'd even argue much about the origins of their practices.

Sometimes I get down because I think about how much better life would be for everyone if the cultural influence of the United States Slavery Cult or "The Confederacy" or whatever you want to call them had actually been destroyed. The same goes for the Nazis: the American colonizers literally rescued, imported, and integrated Nazis into their science and statecraft. I think we could have had an actual future if the Silent and Boomer era adults had actually stopped the Nazis. Bums me out.

Anyway once you start recognizing the tells and cultural signifies that American colonists use to signal affiliation with the patriarchies, you really can't unsee it. It's everywhere and the cultural seepage from these shitty movements end up adopted into (primarily white colonizer) culture. "Looks Maxxing" "Chad" etc.

Award Winning Documentary on the Life of Artist Robert Shields. “Robert Shields: My Life as a Robot” is a documentary that will make you believe that your actions can have an inspirational effect on so many lives - and you may not even be aware of it. An icon of the 70’s, Robert began his career doing his robot in front of the Hollywood Wax Museum and a few short years later had his own top rated Prime Time CBS Variety show with his beautiful wife Lorene called: “The Shields & Yarnell Show”. And along the way, unbeknownst to him, he created ripples that define an art form to this day. This film may not save the environment, it won’t take on a corrupt corporation nor will it make you write your congress person. What it will do is make you laugh, bring you wonder and joy and introduce you to a man who makes you believe that anything is possible… including (and don’t try this at home!) Street Skiing in downtown San Francisco!
