I saw him speak at a Comic Con. He seemed like he has an endless supply of anecdotes for us. It was very entertaining.

He has so thoroughly ruined Twitter that you can’t help but wonder if that was his goal from the outset.

This really resonates, mainly because it’s so true. I think a lot of men these days are feeling lost, sad, lonely, and angry. Some of us think it’s because we have forgotten what it means to be a “real” man, and the answer is more bravado, more machismo. But maybe what we actually need is to start learning to communicate with each other on a meaningful level, to redefine manhood in a way that allows us to express emotions in a socially acceptable way, and start forming real, close friendships with other men.

It must be nice to not have to care about lasting too much/too little time.

Russian doesn’t have articles at all, but it sure isn’t simple.

It’s a confusing time to be a man. Things are shifting in society. A lot of women are deciding that most men aren’t offering them anything they want or need. Unfortunately, when you’re having difficulty figuring out your place in society, and what it means to be a man, you are vulnerable to extremism. Being told your rightful place is on top, and that women, minorities, and LGBTQ are to blame is powerful messaging.

I am not opposed to drinking, but the prices for drinks at bars, restaurants and especially concerts are usually so high that I can’t justify the expense. So I usually volunteer to be the designated driver. If you tell people you’re the designated driver, no one will pressure you to drink, and you will probably get free soft drinks all night.
