Author is painting men as needing forgiveness as if we're just crossing lines like it's our nature.

That's patriarchy baby. Same genesis as "boys will be boys" or basically that males can't control themselves, so society needs adapt to their fickle moods

Isn't that also the basis of the gay panic defense, that a man loses control of his body in response to being "tricked" into the gay or whatever shit they say.

Same basic logic as the cases where someone ties their victim to a bed, fetches some accelerant, douses them and sets them on fire in self defense.

That's the gay panic defense. We have to specify because the police also commonly use a panic defense. Like when they shoot into a crowd and claim someone charged them. (Yes they did that, the NYPD, no they haven't released body cam footage yet, no nobody else is supporting their story)

This is the kind of bullshit an alcoholic mom posts after she loses custody.

[–] Atomic 26 points 2 days ago

yeah yeah, we get it, you have forgiving mothers, nice humble brag.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Well my mother wasn't forgiving so I guess I'm screwed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

The same should be true in reverse. Couples should be trying to compassionately make each other better, no matter what gender they are. And kids lose their mind a bit when they realize their parents are humans with faults. I think that's part of where teenage angst and rebellion comes from.

There's no need to gender this unless we want to specifically talk about toxic culture.

Why in earth would I compare the woman I'm blasting with my mother?! That's kinda weird.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I go in with a lot of fervour myself, but "blasting"?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Your mother is kind of hot, so...
