I believe I understood the masculine frustration on display. It is in fact my experience working with men which told me not to write “I know you’re expressing frustration and really don’t intend your words to sound quite like....” because men, in my experience, are likely to “double down” if that is attempted.

Theirs are usually statements of resolve and for ME to couch their statements as frustration would be taken as a kind of patronizing or diminishment (you don’t MEAN what you say). Hence the double down strategem is likely.

As odd as it sounds, some like to target Q threads by claiming I personally believe this or that statement written by others on the Q thread. I have learned to rebut now on thread that which I would like to avoid having to rebut later on other threads. They don’t “get” that we don’t have leaders and some, like the MSM, are just going to nominate people and them flog them to fill that void.

So, I needed to state my opinions in a way that would not diminish the statement of resolves seen on thread, would clarify that those are personal views not expoused by Q or Q+, try to keep the welcome mat out for visitors who don’t know what Q does/does not endorse but have heard “things” from the media, and try to fulfill our thread’s commitment to meeting FR standards of conduct (not exposing FR to attacks by MSM or other when possible).

You said: “I’m sorry to have to tell you this but a lot of the fault lies with women who won’t let boys be boys.”

Don’t worry - your statement doesn’t apply to me. This isn’t about letting boys be boys - I’ve stated how I addressed my concerns above. I’ve never thought masculinity toxic; I am in fact quite a fan of it.

But, I post Q threads and sometimes I feel the need to get clarification to avoid problems later. Not saying it’s pleasant for anyone, but housekeeping piles up if you don’t keep up on it.

I don’t know anyone else who could do all that you do to keep this thread up and running.
