    My wife is like the literal definition of a “quiet and gentle spirit.”

    She could beat this guy’s ass with a tire iron but I guarantee she would do it without saying a word.

    Be a man that is discreet, respectful, understanding and does not judge. Be someone who is considered safe to have a fling with and you’ll always be desired.

    Women are already figuring out that they are better off alone, thanks to the spread of this anti-female philosophy. If men are going to be selfish partners, in which only their needs are important, women are going to figure out that the only thing they really need men for are sex.

    Women already know they can get laid anytime they feel like it, and men, even the best looking, most charming men, don’t have that same advantage.

    Women don’t need men, men need women, and EVERYBODY knows it.

            The statement is “women don’t need men, men need women.” Some group of men-without-women will become suicidal-homicidal and shoot up a public area. No group of women-without-men will become suicidal-homicidal and shoot up a public area.

              In general, yes, almost 100%. However there have been a few female school shooters and I think relationship issues played a part in at least one of their backstories.

              …I mean…that just plays into classic masculine, testosterone-fueled traits. Anger, rage, inflicting pain & death. That’s what men do. Enough even sign up to inflict pain & death as a job.

              Women? Not so much. “Women-without-men”, as you put it, will have a different response to the same trauma. Not the exact same responses. Equal, but different.

              They might try to kill themselves, but women aren’t as successful at killing themselves as men are. Men are by nature ultra-violent, they make sure the job gets done via gun or other over-the-top means. Women tend to want an easier or painless death, try to overdose or cut themselves. It can work, obviously, but with a smaller success rate.

              I’ve been saying it for over 20 years now, you want to start killing a bunch of random people? Great. Start with yourself. I don’t encourage mass shooters or any of that nonsense; if you’re unhappy, get the help you need or go to the store & buy some rope. Don’t go killing people for no reason other than you being unhappy in life, that’s just dumb & selfish.

      This is me in a nutshell. I just don’t see any upside to dating anymore. And the news gets worse by the day, so I’m no longer even hopeful of the future.

      I mean Trump got Tate a known rapist and sex trafficker released from his house arrest and into the U.S. But a legal immigrant who is INNOCENT, married, and a father gets kidnapped and illegally imprisoned.

      How can any woman not see the excessive hatred towards them?

        My mom was a lifelong Republican, but was agonizing over voting for Trump, who she knew was a terrible person. Then the Pussy Grabber tape came out, and that sealed it. For the next few years, whenever his name came up, she would go on a prolonged rant, starting with “I dont know how any woman could vote for that man…”

        Now she votes a straight Democratic ticket. The Republican party is dead to her.

      🤣 I love posts like this… It’s a good reminder that the online world is full of lunatics that never leave their basements, spouting BS as fact with the authority of a 13 year old whose dad is a CIA / Special Forces Hacker!

    “Deus Vult” is a Latin phrase meaning “God wills it,” historically used as a rallying cry during the Crusades. It signifies the belief that military actions were sanctioned by divine will. The term “crusade” first referred to military expeditions undertaken by European Christians in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries to the Holy Land. The conflicts to which the term is applied have been extended to include other campaigns initiated, supported and sometimes directed by the Latin Church with varying objectives, mostly religious, sometimes political. These differed from previous Christian religious wars in that they were considered a penitential exercise, and so earned participants remittance from penalties for all confessed sins. What constituted a crusade has been understood in diverse ways, particularly regarding the early Crusades, and the precise definition remains a matter of debate among contemporary historian.

    But, basically, hundreds of thousands of people were murdered and tortured because some psychopath decided they were carrying out “god’s will”—aka "I’m using religion as an excuse to exercise my desire to control and subdue people to my ends”.

      History is like a mystery book that you’ve read the last chapters first and know how it’s going to turn out. The colonialism done by European powers hadn’t yet happened at the time of Crusades. In fact had the various warring factions in Europe hadn’t found common cause, their religion and culture would’ve been wiped out by Muslim colonialism. Yup, the Caliphate was conquering the Christian lands in Iberia and Anatolia and colonizing them. This is what triggered the Crusades.

      The Crusades were an anti-colonialism movement, and if they hadn’t found something to unite over, then their cultures, languages, and religion would’ve been wiped out and the whole thing would’ve been a minor footnote in history. They had managed

      In the end, the Muslim colonization of Iberia was defeated (with the Spanish and Portuguese becoming brutal colonizers afterwards) while the Byzantine Empire ultimately fell to Muslim conquest and colonization. Today, there’s only a few hundred thousand Christians left in Anatolia because of assimilation and genocide. Some of that has been relatively recent… you ever hear of the Armenian genocide?

      So yeah, not exactly a clear cut good guys vs. bad guys kind of thing as popular narratives suggest. The crusades were triggered by Muslim aggression into Christian lands. While that doesn’t excuse the atrocities committed by the Crusaders, the Crusades also don’t excuse the atrocities committed by Muslim empires either. History is complex, and reductive bias towards europe=bad or religion=bad just results in not actually learning anything from history.

        Agreed. In the end, there has been too much suffering and atrocities in the name of religion (and politics). People burned alive, beheaded, drawn and quartered. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia torn from his family and sent to El Salvador for now particular reason. And the US saying, “Too bad, he’s not coming back”.

    I’m already alone, and I’m just fine this way, thank you.

    Fortunately I don’t live in Douchebaglandia.
