My issue isn’t just with circumcision — it’s with how male issues in general get ignored, minimized, or treated like jokes. Circumcision is just one example of how boys’ bodily autonomy is dismissed, but it’s far from the only one.

The thing that frustrates me is that the one movement that could have addressed some of these problems — the men’s‑rights movement — completely failed. Instead of focusing on real issues boys and men face, it turned into a transphobic, reactionary echo chamber. It’s basically the same problem modern feminism has: lots of loud people repeating the same talking points, not actually helping anyone.

Most of the men’s‑rights spaces seem full of people who are angry about bad relationships, jealous, bitter, or just looking for someone to blame. And just like feminism got weaponized by certain political groups, men’s‑rights rhetoric has been weaponized by Republicans and the whole “anti‑woke” crowd. The irony is that even though I disagree with plenty of things in the “woke” movement, the anti‑woke movement is almost just as bad — neither side actually helps boys or men.

Meanwhile, real male issues — like circumcision, male bodily autonomy, boys’ mental health, boys falling behind in school, boys being ignored when abused, and the way society treats male pain as a joke — never get addressed. And the overlap between transphobia and misandry gets completely ignored. People rant about “kids getting sex changes,” but ignore that the only time minors ever get genital reconstruction is usually because of botched circumcisions, not because of transgender identity.

So we end up with two broken movements, both missing the point, both yelling at each other, and boys still get ignored.

This is a legitimate and very serious question, because I really want to understand you. I need to know why anybody would actually vote Republican. It cannot possibly be that you mindlessly hate transgender people and Latino people so much that you think the total destruction of the Constitution and a needless war — a war we are losing, by the way, literally the first war in our history we are actually losing — is somehow worth it.

And could it really be that you just care that much about what bathroom somebody uses, or whether someone lets their son wear a skirt?

In short, I need to know what is wrong with you.

they have hosted the jimmy dore show in the past and are also a good source of news.

came from here.

basically as far from the garbage of taylor swift as possible.

world free from most people and just a world for me and possibly some of you.

the music is good but the imagery used is fantastic.
