@MeghanEMurphy It's not an either or thing. I play videogames, know how to code, work out, and am learning to fix things in my house and community to cut costs for the HOA.

You could just choose a hobby that gives you a hot bod or a skill that is useful or that literally anyone is impressed by x.com/Z4BTC_/status/…
Z’s Turning 🍊@Z4BTC_
This debate over men gaming as a hobby reveals a lot about how modern society views men. You are expected to be a worker droid, devoid of any emotion except for gleeful servitude toward your wife, employer, and government overlords. Humans have always had passive hobbies and

I met my boyfriend’s “work wife” for the first time.
And I feel sick about it.
We’ve been together 5 years.
He’s been at his job for a few years, and I’d never met his coworkers before.
But I had heard about one of them—his “work wife.”
He sometimes does favors for her, like fixing her car or going to her place to help with things, and I never really questioned it because he always said his coworkers were a lot older.

@PaulaSeeksTruth Your post is insulting and hostile...I'm just making the observation.

@Spamfromk Women proclaim to like a man but proceed to decry any concern about them entertaining the attention of other men as being contolling.

I paid for her credit card, groceries and her daughter's daycare, and she ghosted me after 2 and a half years. I'm not even sure that I ever really knew her now, because things tapered off, time together became more scarce, and I set a boundary around paying for one of those things: the daycare (I think daycare is harmful to children; she had no job), because everything was so imbalanced. I wanted to preserver one value for me, to realign myself, and she pulled back completely.

A conversation with a man:
Me: All men
Him: not all men
Me: okay. You have a daughter, right? Would you be comfortable with her going to a party with a bunch of other girls, with no boys present?
Him: yes (without hesitation)
Me: cool. Would you be comfortable with her going to a party with a bunch of boys, with no girls present.
Him: no (without hesitation)
Me: why?
Him: Cause there will be at least 2-3 boys who are a problem. ---

Clout...inclusion. There are many possibilities, but typcially when an entire demographic reports to have the same experiences, it is typically due to perpetual messaging that everyone within the individual's repsective demographic has said experience, so individuals retroactively interpret past experiences through a lens that validates the messaging.

@DesireeAmerica4 He was actually just restraining her for the most part. Also, deescalation isn't this algorithmic solution that works the same way each time. Sometime a situtation is escalated far beyond the point of deescalation.

After studying the full story she hit him first with a metal water bottle (like a Hydro Flask, ouch) and threw the laptop at his head. Both got cited (her for assault with a deadly weapon, him for battery) and suspended, district's investigating the sub who just watched.
But let's be real: 🤷🏼♀️ Even if she started it, slamming her face-first into a desk? That's not the move. Real men de-escalate, restrain if needed, or walk away, not go full nuclear trying to end her. We've lost the plot on teaching boys strength with control.
English

AN ENTIRE GENERATION OF BOYS HAS LOST THE PLOT
If your first instinct as a young man is to go full MMA on a female classmate instead of de-escalating or walking away, you failed the most basic test of masculinity. The bar is in hell.
The most embarrassing part isn't even him. It’s the room full of other "boys" sitting silently at their desks instead of standing up and putting this nerd back in his chair.
Has Gen Z completely forgotten how to act like men.

@GelitzaRobles That phrase is already used, and it has a negative connotation to boot. Single is a neutral, descriptive term.

@_nomadic_soul All those things are done by the time the husband gets back from work. So they relax together.

Men are quick to say "Not all men."
Until...
- Their wife has a male best friend.
- Their girlfriend grabs lunch with a male coworker.
- A man starts chatting with their teenage daughter at the mall.
- They have a baby girl and suddenly see the world differently.
Then, all of a sudden, they know men. They know the risks. They know why women are cautious.
Funny how that works.

@Bricktop_NAFO Those are the words of an angsty 16 year old. There was nothing profound about that. Charlie Kirk did have a good rebuttal, rooted in theology and exegis, which is cut out from this to purposely make him look bad.

Often times it's making it more real, and the higher level of difficulty is indicative of actually working with the concept, whereas when something is made easy for the students, and it is very accessible without struggle, they are working with concepts that are simplert but related or loosley related to the actual skill they should be learning. For instance, a student can know how to calculate the mean, but they have no idea what a mean is, which is a measure of central tendency. Being able to explain the procedure with clarity is not the same as understanding the concept.
English

I'm starting to wonder if teaching conceptual math heavily is making it harder for a lot of kids - hear me out.
They looked at students who were gifted in math & went "huh, they think conceptually. We should teach everyone conceptually"
My youngest is gifted in math. She just "gets it" It's absolutely conceptual to her - and easy.
But my oldest, nope. And no amount of me explaining the concept ever helped her.
You know what did? Procedural practice ... over & over & over.
Then, something kinda like magic happened.
She looked at me this week and said "oh, I get it!" and she then explained to me the concept I'd tried to teach her a year ago.
Don't get me wrong. Conceptual math for prek-2nd grade is great. But I'm not convinced it's the best path long-term.
Conceptual learners - already "get it."
The strugglers.... might just need a LOT more practice before that light bulb goes off.
Thoughts?
English

@HippyMomPhD Math concepts only exist within the contexts of the concepts in which they exist. What do you mean by teaching conceptually here? Procedures like standard deviation don't make sense if one does not know what he is calculating.

5 reasons Men and Women can never be equal
1. Men are not judged by their in laws.
2. Men don't need career breaks.
3. Men handle their own money without interference
4. Men are not expected to handle house along with work.
5. Men need not leave their parents after marriage.
The concept of equality is rigged at its core.
