Maybe it's because there are women like mothra around.
I don't find Mothra too bad at all.
I think it does her credit that she starts threads on subjects that have plenty of scope for discussion and diverse opinions.
Isn't that just called stirring the pot?
The trouble with mothra is she always wants to discuss pan-socialist ideas rather than sticking to the issues that are most relevant to Australia. We all sympathise with the plight of the slave labour in Sri Lanka etc, but the reality for most of us here in Realityland is that we have no impact on that and little to no choice but to tolerate it - until this nation can stand on its own two feet again after ridding itself of all its social and economic evils that have held sway for forty odd years now.
Mothra is clearly intelligent, but lacking in (gasps) emotional intelligence.... and often feels that confrontation brings the best results... a bit like longie in that way - the way to negotiate is to tear their balls off, call them stupid or deranged or 'out of touch'** or whatever, and then dictate terms....
**I can assure you I am fully 'in touch' with issues - I just happen to disagree with the way many of them are handled and sold in the futile hope that a gullible community will continue to assist in putting on its own chains to benefit the 'inside' groups. You shouldn't be like that Grappler.
Nobody asked or wants to know your opinion of Mothra.
You know what your mother used to say..if you can't.... !!!!???
Your opinions are often way outside MY comfort zone, but I respect you nevertheless.
Men are in a hard place, this is true.
I think that many men live lives of resentment and victimhood.(as do women, they just generally handle it better, having had all of history to get used to it..)
Men have heard all their lives of their role in the world, and now, that is radically different in many ways.
For some men..
responsibility and expectations never really held before are now weighing on their shoulders.It is scary. It isn't YOUR world anymore. You have to share.
You have to GROW UP.
Inevitably those unable to adapt will fall by the way.
This is LIFE.
some mixed up thinking in there.
You are indeed correct that part of the problem is that many men have become victims and just feel sorry for themselves.
But that is precisely the problem.
men need to be accept (as do women) that being a victim and feeling sorry for yourself is merely self sabotage and the ONLY way out of this is to give up your addiction to these negative thought loops.
i have to disagree strongly that men are now "burdened ' with all these new and onerous "responsibilities".
men have, in fact, abrogated their responsibilites.
a man , if he is to be any use to a woman or a child or to society has to have "good and positive things" going on in his mind. this is HIS responsibility.
if a woman and eventually children are to be part of his frame of mind, then he better make dam sure that his frame of mind is filled with joy , passion and positive thoughts.
this is where men have gone wrong.
its simply easier to be a butt hurt little "sorry for yourself" puke who wants everyone else to pleasure you.
its childish.
men are told by "groupthink" to attract womenwith money or cars or big muscles or a rolex. these are gimmicks.
eventually, a man has to ask himself one question.
if a woman is to know the real authentic me, if she is to become part of my mental world, then is that world a world of positive emotions, joy, passion, courage, expansive energy and contribution.
if its not, then that man needs to work on himself until he creates that mental frame for himself.
everything short of that is window dressing and will eventually be seen thru and lead to disaster.
and most men will not do it because they are too damm lazy to do it.
laziness has lead to craziness.
men have to own it and do something about it.
they need to shoulder the burden of being men and master their emotions or they will always know they are a fraud
