#IAmSexist: It’s time that we men take responsibility for our role in the problem of violence [tr]

Men, listen up.

In light of a year of disturbing revelations from the #MeToo movement and from last month’s profoundly troubling Brett Kavanaugh hearings and his eventual confirmation to the Supreme Court, it is time that we, men, act.

Certainly, some of us men have spoken out on behalf of women. But many more of us have remained silent. Some have kept silent out of fear of being judged, fear of criticism or censure, others out of genuine respect. In fact, silence has become the default stance of many men who consider themselves “allies” of women. But given all that has transpired, staying out of it is no longer enough.

I’ve decided not to cut corners. So, join me, with due diligence and civic duty, and publicly claim: I am sexist!

[C19fan]

Uh no. I am responsible for my own behavior. I am not responsible for some other guy in a tank top beating a woman.

[Pravious]

#IAmSexist = #YouAreFaggot

[cuban leaf]

#IamSexist = #IamAHumanMale or #IAmAHumanFemale.

Now shut up and make me a sandwich!

The logic governing the game, unseen by both the boys and the girls, was predicated upon sexist assumptions that relegated the girls to positions of prey. This is what American male culture taught us early on: Women were like “meat” and we must always nurture a voracious appetite. This fact alone should challenge how we construe “mutual consent.” The game was orchestrated around what the philosopher Luce Irigaray would call a “dominant phallic economy.” We chased; they ran. We were the pursuers; they were the pursued. Our objective was to “get them.” We gazed upon the prey and then we would strike. Though the girls played, they were not to blame. We were the “winners,” possessors of conquered territory. That is part of the early training that I received when it came to my toxic masculinity.

The "game" is played that way because that is what women want. Just look at the "plot" of romance novels and crap like "50 Shades of Grey". Those are women who consume those products.

So is this guy taking responsibility for Keith Ellison allegedly abusing his girlfriend? For Bill Clinton allegedly raping Juanita Broaddrick?

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Men, listen up

No. In fact, hell no....with a side order of go F@#! Yourself.

[goldstategop]

I have never raped, molested or beaten a woman. I don’t owe them an apology.

I am tired of decent men apologizing for things they have not done.

Cuck the failing NYT and their anti-male jeremiad.

...my toxic masculinity.

I doubt that the writer has much masculity, let alone any that may be "toxic."

[shelterguy]

He sounds like a fag, Jim.

[mikrofon]

The production & acceptance of this drivel is orchestrated by what the philosopher Yours truly would call “a dominant Leftist culture”…

One of the wisest things I have ever heard at a bachelor party became known as “The Sammich Paradox”.

“You will be tempted to tell her ‘that was great, honey now go make me a sammich’, but do not. She will NEVER make you a sammich. If she can still walk to the kitchen, you don’t deserve a sammich, but if you have performed a way to become sammich worthy level, she won’t be able to get out of bed.”

Never saw the dude before or since, but 26 years later and I can remember it like yesterday.

[cuban leaf]

HAH! I’ve never heard it worded that way, but that’s always been my goal. I’ve made HER a lot of cups of coffee. ;)

[Skooz]

I am responsible only for violence, if any, that I commit.

No one else’s.

[Shark24]

Agree. “No” to this article.

[Ohioan]

As usual, the Times' opinion writer has things upside down! Men, over the past generation have become less protective of women in direct response to the media projection of the radical Feminist agenda as somehow projecting the attitude and feelings of American women. To the Leftists on the Times, women do not want to be dependent on their men. Traditional sex roles are seen as something to be rejected, not adhered to.

My own mother, a NOW member briefly in the '70's until she what they really were, provided me some "dating advice" around 1979.

Don't ask. Make your move without using any words. If the girl is not into you, she will let you know and you can stop wasting time and money on her. Once the girl says 'not that' or 'no' when you are pushing things forward, take no for an answer and don't try to cross that boundary at that time. Maybe another night or later that night, the 'no' will fade away. If you ask, you are simply going to hear 'NO' every time and you will be known as a "really nice guy". And you want to avoid that unless you're into being alone on weekend nights.

Yeah, this cuck and his blue balls can watch porno and toss off in his New York City broom closet and hope some ugly witch hits on him so he can be assured that he has her consent. At least these crank-yankers aren't gonna breeding anytime soon and they'll just abort any life they do create.

[IronJack]

Trying to turn us all into soy boys? Not gonna work, Tinkerbell. You flagellate yourzelf all you wang, but lay that whjp.across my back and you’ll draw back a stump.

[Ancesthntr]

Yeah, fine - when I commit an act of violence against anyone, including but not limited to a woman, I’ll take responsibility.

Until then, people like this putz can go piss up a rope.

[rlmorel]

Here’s a better idea for that person: Just cut your stones off (assuming you have any) and be done with it.
