Herrington is a beta male and his opinions are simply not worth considering.

I don’t take parenting advice about how to raise sons from a limp-dick like him.

I went to the Daily Mail and looked at the pictures. He’s not very cute. I wish everyone would stop slouching and scowling all the time.

Years ago we got rid of cable/dish TV. We have Hulu and Netflix. The children liked Lab Rats and Fuller House. These are shows forbidden to be watched in our house. They make fun of adults and the kids are in charge. Men are made to look especially stupid.

Why can’t these guys just be smart enough to STFU?

Like James Bond’s Daniel Craig’s anti-gun diatribe? Matt Damon, Danny Glover just STFU.

Height is irrelevant to a man’s virtue and valor.

Looks like he was careless with that sword and cut his junk off. Now he has a front hole and talks like a feminist. How sad for him.
