im not referring to anything on the boards particularly...just recent discussions out in the country in general (wap, kamala, etc).

the male ego is one of the most destructive/exploitable forces in all of humanity. theres literally an entire genre of marketing using feelings of male inadequacy to get men to buy inferior products simply because theyre more 'manly' (cigarettes, liquor, pickup trucks...the whole gawdy grill designs, etc).

so the opposite direction/pathway is when things make men feel *less* 'manly'...like women controlling and capitalizing off their sexuality, ambition, etc have always done. men are conditioned to reject, destroy, selectively moralize, etc that. and we are seeing that play out on the societal stage right now.

that shit is on steroids within the black man/woman dynamic for various historical/cultural reasons.
