@whatifalthist Marxist feminists have pathologized masculinity and autism is the clinical diagnosis they have invented for it. Highly intelligent, strongly principled, and top performing men are being hunted.
English

I hate that being cognitively masculine and principled is just seen as autism. For example this is what I do in my personal life:
As an employer: it’s my job to maintain quality control. Thus, I will hold you to standards and if you cannot uphold them I’m going to fire them. I will state your duties upfront and then not expect you to do anything besides them. We’re going to try to do things in a timely and organized manner even if we don’t reach that perfectly.
In dating: You need to treat me with respect and empathy while actually listening to the things I say. Otherwise I’m kicking you out immediately. Understood?
In intellectual work: I refuse to say or produce things that I cannot put a confidence of certainty on or that I don’t have a sense that I genuinely understand. Otherwise I will state my lack of certainty. I will also show you my mental leg work so you can reverse engineer how I reached that conclusion.
In personal life: I will state my boundaries and intentions up front so when we talk there won’t be any undercurrents we have to worry about later.
In morality: I live my life according to a code of values. If soemthing violates that code I won’t do it.
Habits: I do certain rituals when I wake up, go to bed, start or finish work, or when I move to a different place. These exist to center me and provide mental frame.
Cultural consumption: I maintain standards for the music, books, food, movies or people I deal with. If something is beneath those standards I will abstain even if I’m hungry or bored
The reaction a lot of people have to this is “autism” but from my perspective this is just being virtuous and organized. It’s not rigid because these things allow frame for more chaos or disorder. I thought this is jsut how white people are. Don’t we follow abstract moral codes and then apply them to life? Am I just supposed to live in discord and chaos all the time? Why would I do that?
I was taught that issues should be faced head on early rather than avoided. That concept is alien to many though. Isn’t the whole point of liberalism that you get to arrange your own order in your private life. Otherwise it’s just anarchy. These rules are unilateral goods that make life easier, not repression. Saying otherwise is dumb

@DisaffectedPod True. Married men I work with act gayer than gay men. Gay men value masculinity more than straight married men.

@Manhattva @FightofFaith If someone doesn’t believe that God can make His children like Himself, then they do not believe in an omnipotent god.
English

@FightofFaith You do not believe that God is omnipotent if you do not believe that he can make his children like him.

💯True.
WE can start over...and make it bigger, better, and more necessary than ever.
