By the way, lest you misread that... they're not saying that "a beard" can be negative to women. They're saying that masculinity can be negative to women.
And that is because the women they know aren't women.
You don't understand. We mean "bad" masculinity. Real positive masculinity is feminism somehow.
Frankly, masculinity is more of a positive to women than it is men.
This is only true if you think masculinity = tradcuck but it doesn't. Tradcucks are false masculine and are actually feminist in nature aka feminine.
Actual masculinity is the bane of women. Not only are masculine men a constant reminder of a woman's inferiority but masculine men are the antithesis to tradcucks and masculine men demand by way of force that men get a better deal. This is why women hate masculinity because women lose to masculine men.
They want to hate it but it still turns them on.
Again, the "masculinity" you think turns them on is not actual masculinity. The "bad boys" are not masculine. They're often criminal thugs, losers with mental health issues and low intelligence. Women like this sort of guy because he's precisely not masculine and is likely to attack other men for women (the epitome of tradcuck). A woman's idea of "hot masculinity" is men who use their superiority to benefit women but that's not the pinnacle of masculinity at all (though, there's overlap).
A good example of peak masculinity is Agamemnon. A good example of tradcuck not real masculinity at all is Paris. Ask women which of the two characters they prefer and few will say Agamemnon. You can learn a lot about someone in asking which characters from the Iliad they like the most.
You don't know what these terms mean, half-imp.
Feminists hate masculinity because it's a threat that builds the families they are seeking to destroy. Women like masculinity so much that they are literally sexually attracted to masculinity.
The only beards they know are their wives.
Selective logic aka motivated reasoning aka narcissistic personality disorder.
It’s just cluster b all the way down.
It's selective quoting:
"In evolutionary terms this sexually dimorphic trait provides no obvious survival advantages for a male, but is a likely candidate for sexual selection (Barber, 1995). Guthrie (1970) suggested its value in signalling aggression during inter-male fighting, perhaps by the perceived enhancement of the lower jaw, emphasising the teeth as weapons. This indicates that facial hair may have been sexually selected by females on the basis of associated male success, despite its threatening appearance. Clean-shaven faces therefore may suggest appeasement, as well as being an obvious sign of sexual immaturity (Guthrie, 1970). "
In short, smooth faces are gay, and women aren't put off at all by aggression, or none of us would be here.
You are more right than you understand. I've been trying to scream this from the hill top:
The elites are institutionalizing Cluster B personality disorders on an industrial scale, making it a systemic threat within society. Very likely, because the elites also have Cluster B personality disorders.
It's funny you bring that up. Guess which race has higher prevalence of Cluster B Personality disorders? You'll never guess /s but I'll give you a hint, it's not Anglo-Saxons.
Women.
Journalists are just prostitutes that were too unappealing even for sex work. So instead they type out word vomit like a student knocking out a two page essay fifteen mins before class.
Funny you should say that because the only actual journalist I've met irl had a sister and I remember the topic got brought up about his sister's profession. I had never met her before but I said I bet she's an escort. The guy was like uhh wtf, why would you say that? I said: "well if she's anything like you, I'd imagine that would be what she would do." The guy was offended but had a difficult time getting mad at me because it turns out his sister was a prostitute for a while.
Are these the same fools saying that we need to be 'in touch with our feelings' basically be made feminists..
Then turning around saying they find them creepy, forgive me but I go with the forms of masculinity that have existed for centuries than those promoted for a 2 decades.
Are we really at the depth of Star Trek's mirror universe, the beard makes you evil?
The beard makes the show finally get good.

You know they are desperate when the best attack they have to offer is, "OMG J.D. Vance has a beard! -soyjack pointing-"
Repeal the 19th.
Repeal the 17th. You'll get much more out of it.
Well, I didn't want to grow a beard, but when you put it that way, it makes me wanna be like ZZ Top.
That's how you know Vance won that debate incredibly hard. They can't run hype for Walz or tear down too many things he said, so they went with the basic bitch appearance attack.
Also over 80 years ago is when we stopped having any Presidents or Vice Presidents worth much to begin with, so now I have a new metric to judge any future candidates on.
This is Hilary's trouser suit all over again.
The media cares deeply about men in women's restrooms but if a non-FTM decides to wear a beard it's heresy.
Not with those blue eyes, he wooed them properly, even liberal women, which is properly hilarious
They're almost as good at it as the father ted guy. If you had a beard he'd just say Beard and not interact with you.
Complete utter trash. They have to be bored by now with all the shit they have to cover.
Ehhhhh.... ive seen more fucking pussy ass feminist #believeallwomen guys wearing beards than i can tolerate. Guys out here, yammering like women in the workplace, thinking theyre men because of hair.
I agree with you that links are better, but you can't point two links next to each other.
No one's going to click on Link 1, examine it, keep it in his mind, then click on Link 2, and then observe "blimey, there be some inconsistencies in these two!"
We all do what we do for free. You may find him a bit obnoxious, but he's unquestionably right.
For those of us that like to read the articles to further our hatred, instead of reading the clickbait headline and then getting mad (like good sheep), he is doing a service.
Nah, he's usually doing good work. Sometimes he can be overbearing, but I've seen how retarded screenshot-heavy places get, very detached from reality and gullible.
so post the screenshot (as you did), then post the links in the comments.
This forum was founded on calling out bad journalism. what are we if we aren't sourcing our claims?
OK, it's good that you're upholding standards, but it sounded like you were complaining about the presence of screenshots rather than the absence of links.
Be it known, a screenshot with accompanying source links is holy and just. Woe onto thee who procure unsourced drivel.
Instead of posting "a fucking screenshot" you should do some due diligence and see if what was posted was in fact false. If it was false, you can say something like "I looked into it guys and the screenshot was fake". That way, you look like a hero and saved everyone the time.
Fortunately, I did the legwork for you.

It's real and not fake. So yes, a screenshot but a factual one so it's fine.
I did that for a while, it just gets tiresome and I don't got time for that shit. I'm not a moderator. I also don't want OPs to just assume someone will look into it for them, because at the end of the day it's their responsibility.
I'm happy to just ridicule screenshot posters and move on
People get excited over stuff and sometimes forget. Also, in the culture war, a lot of stuff gets permanently taken down so all there is, is a screenshot. I've been in that situation before where years after covid I'd be like "bro so and so posted X" and they've be like "SOURCE?!?!?" and I'd be like dude I literally saw it live when they posted and they'd be like SOURCE?!??! yet the person took down whatever they said so all I had was a screenshot. SOURCE?!?!?! Sometimes you've gotta trust.
this is why we archive when we can.
Archive lost a lawsuit and now has to take stuff down if requested to.
archive.org is compromised, yes. they were compromised before the lawsuit because they were taking down inconvenience stuff.
so far, archive.is and ghostarchive have been effective.
Got it, thanks. I thought they were actually the same. Archive.is doesn't work with my VPN :/
