Karlyn Borysenko: "Pro-tip, gentlemen: when you cry about how badly men are treated and how put upon your gender is, you look weak and are just giving the woke what they want." (twitter.com)

Yes, don't question them, just roll over and take it LIKE A MAN. That's how civil rights works, right? When black people were being barred from basic American freedoms, they just didn't complain about it, because the racists wouldn't like it. And then they won. /s

Just what do you expect to accomplish by pathetically whimpering?

Pathetically whimpering seems to be working for literally every other demographic in the country.

What do you expect to accomplish by pathetically allowing them to do what they want, and pathetically giving up when someone calls you "pathetic"? I'm calling them out of their bullshit, and actively challenging the people who go along with it.

Well yeah, whining for sympathy doesn't work well for adult men (unless you put on a dress first, apparently). But always taking it on the chin and doing nothing back isn't being the bigger man, it's being the bigger idiot.

Nobody believes just ignoring insults and indignities heaped upon you demonstrates strength. First you prove you can do more in return to demonstrate strength, then you make a point of not doing it every time to demonstrate magnanimity.

Way too many people have convinced themselves that being good at suffering quietly is equivalent to strength and have never actually fought back. Then when the final indignity comes for them they find out too late that just because you can take it doesn't mean they can actually dish it out very well. They're not actually strong, in fact all the damage they've passively accepted has only made them weaker and now the only lot left to them in life is to suffer.

Christians and Christian morality. They teach men to demonize strength and the (correct) celebration and public praise of strength. They teach men to put women on a pedestal. They teach meekness, pacifism, and getting on your knees to ask higher authorities to make everything good in their lives.

No personal responsibility. No individualism or looking out for yourself - instead self-sacrifice and "noble" sacrificing for others, always a long list of others that must come first.

So men don't look out for themselves or other men. We just get up on the alter to be sacrificed for womens' retirement plans.

Men who complain about it are “weak” and not worth listening to.

Men who fight it are “dangerous” and must be locked up or otherwise rendered harmless.

Men who do nothing about it are “doormats” and will be walked on.

They’ve made it into a game of “heads I win, tails you lose”. We must find a way to stop playing their game.

Another crypto woke bitch.

Karlyn Borysenko constantly says she is against wokeism and she testified in hearings to ban CRT but here she is showing her true feelings.

She is nothing but a grifter who sees an opportunity to make some quick money pretending to be against CRT.

What is fighting back then?

One could write a book about it. But seeing how much I have to do personally, I think having a small army of even very part-time diggers would do an extraordinary amount of good.

We tried voting, they cheated to stop it from working.

Oh, cut it out. This is just an excuse for glowies to tell people to not vote and let them win by default.

We tried making our own places, they deplatformed us.

As if that is the be-all-and-end-all of that. What happened to Parler woke up a lot of people, including Glenn Greenwald. That is a victory in itself.

And then we lobbied Senator Josh Hawley, who is now committed to breaking up these tech tyrants.

We tried starting businesses, they forced us to hire them.

There is no law requiring anyone to hire a Wokist.

It's true that won't work and you are giving them what they want, to see your hurt, the sadistic *itches. But I fully understand why men, ESPECIALLY White men, with all the crap hurled at them might breakdown in tears. It's just too much, hence the high suicide rates. You also shouldn't take it silently, or at least, shouldn't just just go along to get along. Cut off all these foul wretches from your life, ignore their tantrums, discuss why they are wrong openly with others, so those others know they aren't alone and can be persuaded but don't get involved with "discussions" with actual people like this because it's futile. Men need to form their own spaces again and guard them carefully.

I'd love that. I think it demands a crushing and undeniable victory in the culture war, though, and I'm not sure how to get there from here.

It's been many years since the strong have been expected to serve the weak. Just defeating the front line of sjws won't be enough; we need a resurgence in counter ideas like meritocracy. Even if we could magically round up all the bad actors and evict them, we need the foundation to resist when they pop up again next time.

A lot of it has been taught by example, so otherwise intelligent and adaptive citizens grow to learn a strategy for success that matches those examples. Why gain knowledge or build skills when you can just file frivolous lawsuits all day to cash in on settlements?

Yes. You'll get more of what you reward.

Which is why millionaires and billionaires are getting in on the victim act (e.g. Oprah, Meghan Markle & Useless Ginger Husband).

Not to say we shouldn’t be compassionate to people who actually suffer but I see (especially among the youth) that there is this contest over who can be the most oppressed. And like you said it’s mind boggling to see the very wealthy cry about oppression.

I remember Gilbert Godfrey once said that some people feel a sense of moral superiority by being offended.

So you're saying we must punch the bitches instead? I dunno if that's the right course, but I'm willing to try it on your suggestion, fearless leader and guru of manliness Sir Tony.

I came in thinking you'd posted this for the irony, but I see you actually think this is reasonable advice. What is wrong with you these days?

Men: you dare to use feminine tactics when masculine ones are forbidden? What are you some kinda sissy? Shut the fuck up.

Refusing to acknowledge when you are being victimized is playing the victim. Acknowledging that you have been victimized doesn't make you weak.

There is a difference between pointing out unfair treatment and the sort of perpetual victim act that I see from some people. It's the whining, pleading tone that I don't like. That is indeed unmanly, and in fact, appalling behavior for either gender.

Tolerating that which is wrong isn't virtuous. Tolerating all that which is wrong is how society got to where it is, enabling small problems to fester, becoming nearly unmanageable, which is leading to a solution that's becoming more and more extreme, whereas if people spoke out against the wrongs immediately, and fixed the problems immediately, society wouldn't have devolved to the point of insanity and near collapse that it is today.

How has Borysenko treated you poorly again?

There's a difference between being whiny and fighting back. Privately, you fight adversity and succeed. Publicly, you call it out and try to change it.

Is this a plan for self-improvement? Because I sure as hell have never seen you 'fight back' at anything, only whine whine whine. You're a human whine cellar.

I got the idea from the first report, reporter. That being said, I wouldn't call this bullying. Saying REEEEE at someone isn't something I'm going to take any action on, frankly, it should be tradition. Like calling me a faggot.

The closest this gets is 'human whie cellar'... which, come on... it's basically a dad joke.

Great impression of a woman.

Apparently, you think women are not feminists and oppose playing the victim, as you do incessantly.

You have no idea what I do when I'm offline.

It's not very promising, based on what you do when you are online.

If you can't tell, I'm making fun of you.

Well, you're not very good at it. Stick to claiming that wahmen are trying to kill you.

God no. If I ever woke up as either of those things I'd commit not live.

If you weren't 6'5" I'd swear you were a 'trans male', also known as a woman.

But since it is a law of nature that while there are many tall women, there is no such thing as a tall 'trans man', I guess you must be a proper woman.

Speaking of which, if women are so privileged, why the need to kill yourself if you were one?
