      Unfortunately the saying refers to soft men like Trump et. al., not femboys.

      God I wish we had a femboy president and cabinet… I’m not even attracted to them. I just know they’d be infinitely better than the fucking fascist cheeto et. al…

          Eh… I’m aware how insufferably ‘bottom’ many of them are. To want to be a nazi whilst being a type of person they would likely dislike is … pretty strong bottom energy.

            It’s not only about bottoms tho

            There a lot of people in LGBT+ community that supports islam\sharia law. Amount of people that are simultaneously in those two circles is surprisingly high. Same with women and sharia law actually. You would think they understand that it basically a suicide - but here we are. Sadly, don’t have exact numbers, maybe that just vocal minority, who knows.

            I mean, even if we talking about politics - there a lot of people who supported Trump for example. Same people then complained, that their group (LGBT+, farmers, etc) was negatively affected by his politics. Leopards do what leopards do.

            Also, in my birth country russia (I hope it cease to exist), all that fascist “z” movement rise so high, that many communities like furry, anime, mlp, etc. became toxic waste. Sad thing really, you see how people support same regime, that prosecute them.

              Yea, it was partly a joke. I will never understand how people, especially minorities, can look themselves in the mirror after voting against their own interest. Not even in a greedy way, but in a, “what the fuck did you think would happen?” sort of way.

    Stupid men like oversimplified phrases that make themselves think they’re better than others.

    Bad men good times make hard men. Good times make men hard make soft men. Soft good men make men man men.

    Time good bad times. We need men men men.

    Most of what makes these “bad times”, involves the existence of massive dickheads like Laurence Fox, who think that strength is the same as bigotry.

    This whole thing never made much sense. It’s just a poorly thought out version of the passage of trauma, one that fails to account for systemization of classism, bigotry, and the like. If this were the case, things should swing wildly every 40 years, but that hasn’t been my observation.

      No, it makes perfect sense if you treat it like the metaphorical expression it is and not a literal description of reality…

      Or are you the kind of person to think, “measure twice, cut once” literally means you need to measure things twice and not that it’s about being careful?

        I’d give it respect as a saying if it hadn’t been adopted by republicans as a means of putting down society at large. The Apple doesn’t fall across the bridge when it gets to it.

        Also, I do measure twice. But I also cut three times because I’m terrible with electric saws and I need the practice.

          That’s stupid. Republicans will miscontrue and torture any expression if it lets them shit on others.

          Just look at “right to work”, or all the BS they’ve spouted against universal healthcare since long before Trump et. al…

          If you let lying cheating monsters define everything, OFC most of it isn’t going to be true.

            You’re welcome to fight the treadmill of American language and associations to attempt to reclaim a saying that I personally view as limiting. Sounds like a huge undertaking, but it seems like it really matters to you. I’m rooting for you.

            I’ll never cede ymca as a straight song, but a poorly thought out saying, I can’t care.
