  • Gen-X here. IMHO, Boomers have been the worst generation, in terms of values and impact, this country has ever seen. Gen-X is a mixed bag. Millenials are the best of all the gens currently alive, and they got fucked the hardest. Gen-Z is cynical as fuck, and I cannot blame them.

    I disagree with your assessment of the future though. The only thing manosphere Gen-Z is accomplishing is their own marginalization. Men are outnumbered. Straight men, even more so. My faith lies with young women, minorities, LGBTQ+, and all those working hard for the survival of those they care about.











  • I’m going to play a little devil’s advocate, not about the “if they should” but more about how they end up looking unrecognizable.

    I used to be very athletic. Then I got very heavy. Then I went back to athletic, but when I did so I ended up with the Mitch McConnell turkey neck. It was fugly, I’m not going to lie, and it bothered me. I’m also opposed to plastic surgery so I figured that’s the way it was going to be. Then I got cancer in my neck. After they cut out the tumor and all other affected tissue, they had to do a bit of reconstruction. Out went the cancer along with the turkey neck and my jaw line is looking like a million bucks. I’m hot again baby!

    And that’s the problem. I can see somebody having a positive first experience with reconstructive surgery and assuming that more of it will make it more better. You feel better about yourself and suddenly believe that you can feel better still. You’d be wrong, but I get why you would think that.
