And the balls don’t make it any better fyi
lol! i just want to point out before i stop myself that you’re wrong in terms of many gay males brains including my own. attraction in male brains is more visual than womens on average regardless of orientation. so yes, many gay guys have visual opinions that they would not normally share about an area of the body which is better felt than looked at most of the time.
I was watching the chiefs game with some friends in leawood and they were explaining that Travis Kelce’s position was tightend. I was like put me in travis ill be your tight end im ready to catch some balls.
I’ve never been in a mens locker room but I’ve heard about the “locker room talk” and just assumed it’s very rapey in there
I didn’t know it’s just dudes inspecting dicks in group showers
in high school it was not uncommon for the middle of the gang shower to be used as bowling lanes where people setup shampoo bottles as pins and bowled with bars of soap
regardless of whether you're just keeping to yourself and showering and/or actively inspecting or not - it's just something there you'll see like the magazine and candy rack at the checkout aisle of a grocery store

this makes sense and aligns with brostuff that I did not hate but was hard(not impossible) for me to be a part of. We did not have gang showers where I went to high school. I went to what was, at the time, the highest rated high school in the state of kansas, and still rated somewhere in the top 5.
You bowled on the communal shower floor with the same bars of soap you would also use on your bodies…? :(
High school kids are idiots. It’s surprising that you find this surprising.
Anyway, the recent topic is a great example of how people project their own experience as a marker for the collective whole. It’s weird to be closed-minded, folks.
It is wild how little the world cares about such things when it doesn't neatly fit into anti-white/Jewish ideological boxes, and how much it does care when the right boxes are clicked.
"Anti-white" as a term has largely been ruined by white supremacists who use to broadly paint any criticism of their ideology, so it is hard to get a nuanced discussion when that term pops up. It also has other issues; My country has tried to eradicate several ethnic groups during its existence, and all of those where predominantly white. However, since the perpetrators were also predominantly white, it would be rather useless to call those atrocities "anti-white". So, while racism based on skin color is certainly an important topic, there is more to the subject than that.
But if we go broader and say that "we're all likely to miss important points regarding discrimination and racism if we just stick to preconceived notions", then I certainly agree. My post was flippant about people not recognizing ethnicities and the segregated society of Afghanistan, but there are certainly countries in this world where I wouldn't know the first thing about local ethnicities or issues of discrimination.
I also don't like it when discrimination is downplayed on the individual level. Let's say a child is excluded from his peers at a playground because of his skin-color. It should not matter what his skin color was when determining how bad this is. Now, a historical discussion on negatively discriminated groups, the plight of minorities, the responsibilities of the majority or the likelihood of discrimination is certainly not without merit when discussing racism. However, these issues are not an excuse to ignore discrimination.

I think the big takeaway is what people on the "alt-right" (Sam Harris, Jordan Peterson, Eric Weinstein, etc.) were saying 10-15 years ago, when "we" were making threads ridiculing them and calling them white supremacists.
That if the left continued to make identity so salient, and being overtly "anti-white," there was going to be a backlash from the other side, and give bad actors room to operate. And that is more or less what is happening.

I don’t know if anyone ever called those people alt-right. I do think that of those three, Sam Harris probably has the most salient critique that stays in reality.
The problem isn’t really the backlash from the other side, the problem is that it’s just bad to be racist no matter how justified you think you are because of historical injustice.
The good news is most marginalized groups just want equality. Imagine if they all wanted revenge too… 😀

I don’t need to, as some people do, and most others don’t. The problem with racial revenge is you’re getting revenge against people that have nothing to do with whatever you’re getting revenge for. And most people from “marginalized groups” are not like that, it’s the academics who make up terms that push revenge fantasies.
Edit: I should clarify I’m not against academic language if it’s fit to purpose, bur a lot of the time it isn’t.

I've been a part of many locker room talks and never heard another dude talk about raping another girl. We certainly talked about what we would like to do and who we would like to do it with.
American football is not as popular as you think it is.

“Grab ‘em by the pussy.”
“The academics” lol
Just drop the mask already
No, you missed the clause “academics that make up terms”.
For instance, there was a big push for “people-centric” terms in the disabled community. Like “person with deafness” or “person with autism”. Turns out autistic people and deaf people don’t like those terms.
Or the push for BIPOC. That managed to piss off both black people and indigenous people.
Then if you can acknowledge that those things were not needed even if the explanation for why people thought it was needed were coherent, you can have a coherent view that doesn’t correspond to reality because you’re missing things in your theory.
Popular up to a point in the US, but nowhere else, since the game is entirely designed and premised around commercial breaks (18 per game, I believe), hence its deeply undynamic and tiresome stop-start nature.
Unlike soccer where they just plaster company names on the chest. The whole game is a commercial.
