When i was still working as a biomedical engineer in Ubth, I had this male coworker that used to stay back in the office till 8 PM every night. Four extra hours of doing absolutely nothing, just sitting outside the empty conference room talking to himself or using his phone. One day I asked him why he didn’t just go home to his wife and kid since he closed by 4 PM. He laughed that dry, hollow laugh and said, "Michi, if I go home by 5, my wife will ask for money for dinner, or the generator needs fuel, or the landlord is coming. If I stay till 9, she assumes I’m hustling and grinding for the family. She respects the 'busy' man, but she has no patience for the 'tired' man present in the house." So now, every night, he sits in the dark office, drinking water to fill his stomach, and calls his wife. He speaks with energy, Yes babe, i still have a lot of work to cover. I’m doing this for us. Even when his account balance is literally reading minus. He does this; not because he is a liar. Not because he doesn't want to be home. But because sounding 'busy' and 'ambitious' is the only way a man retains his dignity in a home he pays for. A lot of people cannot even begin to understand the mental gymnastics men perform every day just to avoid being called "useless."

















My personal conspiracy theory is that we destroyed literacy in order to eliminate a fabricated "lit bro" threat



The premise of Good Will Hunting always makes me laugh because you mean to tell me a genius white guy in his early 20's somehow fell through the cracks of the educational system in 1990's Boston?



they are getting rid of fat people.



"Women like bad boys!" NO- they're desperate for men who have BALLS. Women are desperate for a man who will lead them, they will absolutely take an asshole over the soft "nice guy" dweeb. Everyone is very tired of guys that refuse to see what their role is.
