Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden
Harpers ^ | May 2, 2019 | Melanie Hamlett

Posted on 05/07/2019 10:58:25 AM PDT by Galatians328

Toxic masculinity—and the persistent idea that feelings are a "female thing"—has left a generation of straight men stranded on emotionally-stunted island, unable to forge intimate relationships with other men. It's women who are paying the price.

[eyeroll] Demand that men feminize themselves, then gripe when you have to carry their emotional burdens. Fortunately, most of us never bought into the paradigm in the first place.

“has left a generation of straight men stranded on emotionally-stunted island, unable to forge intimate relationships with other men”

Yeah, that’s kind of the point of being a straight man. We aren’t interested in “intimate relationships” with other men.

My buddy Jack has been my best friend for 50+ years.

I don’t want him to blow me.

What these jerks do not realize is that self-confident Alphas do not care about the feelings of woke betas and feministas. They do not form “hug-clubs.” They do not apologize for the color of their skin or their achievements. They recognize privilege all right, the privilege bestowed by government, media, woke corporations, and universities—not on them, but on various privileged groups. And STILL they kick butt in every area of achievement because effort trumps gratuitous honors every time.

I don’t talk to other people,because I don’t want to. Not worth the trouble and drama.

People I do talk to, the conversation just picks up whenever we get together.

So, don’t ask me no questions
And I won’t tell you no lies
So, don’t ask me about my business
And I won’t tell you goodbye
I said don’t ask no stupid questions and I won’t send you away
If you want to talk fishin’, well I guess that’ll be ok

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Gosh, what a funny article! Apparently yet another woman writer thinks men are miserable because we should want to be chicks.

Men are naturally loners; we have been the first cave guy snagged his woman and raised a family. Who needs other males around, unless it's to go hunting or fishing or raiding some other tribe? Friends are great but if we don't have them around, so what?

Some of the other articles on that site are priceless too:"Don't touch me just because I'm topless" and "Why women really quit breastfeeding"

Yup, they know about men alright..

Social theory is the bane of a generation of feminists, I’ll give her that. And men pay the price.

I got to the second paragraph ... then decided that the idiot author had absolutely no idea what the he** she was talking about.

After seeing her picture, I not certain that Laz would hit that ... except with a baseball bat. I know I wouldn’t hit it with Laz’s dingus. This probably explains where her incredibly stupid suppositions come from. I think that she should buy a case of EverReady’s and consider a profession change - perhaps to the Hospitality or Food Service industries. She should start practicing ... “would you like fries with that.”

BAD; nah, I don’t think so.
You sound pretty normal to me.
I have 4 friends, we go hunting and fishing together as often as possible, we’ll kill and eat anything that walks crawls, flies, or swims.
“KILL IT AND GRILL IT” is our motto.

I have two good friends.

One is my cousin.

We shoot things, cook them and eat them. We smoke cigars and drink beer. We don’t waste time on emotions.
