It's been pointed out to me that older/mid men don't speak openly enough about our emotions. And this is one brick in a wall that needs dismantling for a more balanced society. So here's my contribution, an account from yesterday, a very emotional day for me and 3 older men.
@EBasilion
Tis the cycle.
The grass is always greener.
Your kids will leave the village and your grand kids will return.
It's not about the place. It never was. It's about the people. But we can't change others, only our selves. So we dream that the place is the problem.
@KatyMontgomerie
Well spotted. You must be reading lots of true crime drama and have developed amazing deductive skills.
Sex is binary bc there is only male and female, that's just how we reproduce as humans. Everyone, even intersex, are one or the other.
Nobody is both, neither or a 3rd type.
@RoryHearne
Yep. Our government can borrow at 0%.
But instead of building houses, the give that money to banks, who make 20% profit on the loan to the developer. Who makes a 30% profit on the house, then the bank makes 50% on the mortgage.
That's why houses are 240% more than they should b
@bindelj
When I was 17, playing rugby. I had Trials for Ireland u18.
We had to do the 100m in under 12secs to be considered for back 3 positions. That was 25 yeas ago.
The British women's record Now. Is 12.8 sec.
(Wrld: 10.8)
As 17yr olds we we faster than any British woman ever.
@BuckAngel
And if you can't believe it's happening, there a woman in the UK running a support group for women who lost babies due to DV. And there is transwomen demanding entry. And they are struggling to keep them.out bc of law changes.
There isn't a male equivalent to that.
@sarahschauer
If you try describe a smell in words you can only describe other smells that are similar.
With a trip, there is no other experience to on parents it to. So it's like describing colours to blind people.
The only answer is to find out for yourself. The season is nearly here.
@Tomshinle
@ZubyMusic
Yep, Irish feminists watch out the pressure is on. Those Eastern women know how to leverage their feminity, be it for cash or for taking your husband.
Best get the cook book out and speak to granny about taking care of your man.
@BuckAngel
Bc it's all about women wanting privacy and protected spaces away from men. And if men can call themselves women, It defeats the whole point.
The need for some mens spaces is also getting air time now too. Which lots of ppl have been asking for ages.
@mir_and_a
Left to follow our desires, we end with polygamy, richest men have hareems and a incel problem. Which is a very serious, dangerous problem!
Monogamy, and 2 loving parents within a wider comunity is what the millenia of ppl that came before us figured out as being better
@cysaeyci
Anchovies
Salted butter
Lemon
Parsley
Garlic
Are you talking about seasoning out of a packet?
This is fresh cooking. Not disassembled ingredients from the supermarket.
@datepsych
I think you need to consider the idea that the piecing is suposed to repel the 80% and signal the openness to only a certain minority of people, on purpose, like Celia so politely said.
@bindelj
Lol, just for curiosity, I looked up the weightlifting british records.
I was the strongest woman in Britain by the age of 16.
I remember clearly celebrating benching 200kg for the first time just after my 16th bday.
British womens record is 180.
@amazingatheist
When i say my country, i mean the dialectic language, music, ceremonial traditions, attitudes, conflicts, history, humour and generally the people whom i understand and share affinity with.
Try visiting a different culture and "my country" might make more sense.
@clakklaa
Hahaha.
Cope!!
Almost every psych disorder comes from a childhood issue. Almost everyone is born fit n mentally healthy.
Tones of people get fucked up in childhood and never recover.
Even if its just protection so the kids learn about reality at a slowed rated. Parents ftw!
@KatyMontgomerie
When people write a manifesto for a planned out attack, it's only polite to take them at their word, might be some clues in there to help prevent further instances.
@RavenSommervil1
So they told kids they have a choice to change sex, and if they do change, they will be special and get extra attention.
Then afterwards tell them that everyone except their groomers will hate them forever just for who they are.
This is quite a sick game to play.
@SourPatches2077
Please stay Carol. I'm just some Dad farmer out the country with 5 kids trying to make sense of all this shite because one of my sons was being targeted for being non conforming
Reading what you and the others are saying has been so helpful. You are needed. Thankyou ❤
@PolicyFor
My son goes to a dance school and his all male class is as camp as parade. None of them seeming to have a problem expressing their femininity at all. But in a very male way. They aren't trying to be women, they are trying to be beautiful and I guess I perceive that as feminine.
@varindeus
It's noteworthy that he says
"what's to lose? And so much to possibly gain"
He has nothing important in his life that would be damaged by this.
Think about that for a moment.
@alan_tobin
I was 14 when my family moved from the UK to Ireland.
Despite neither of my parents being English, somehow I was responsible for the black n tans.
The Yorkshire twang was enough to draw them on me. Even had a priest regularly making fun of me in Irish to the rest of the class.
@OrwellNGoode
Funny thing about this is the fact that hippos are the most dangerous animal where ever they go. Kill more people that lions etc.
Our brains that think they are cute bc their mouths turn up is some kind of malfunction
If they had scales and were less chubby looking, we'd see it
@stellaomalley3
@GDSNsupport
Great work Stella.
My Wife and I felt very alone when refusing to allow our son to be transitioned. That was 5 years ago, luckily we got through it all and he is a bright beautiful 15 Yr old, full of confidence and so happy.
@jo_bartosch
You know the way that the teans ideology only recently hit the mainstream and the other 99% of the population just noticed.
This is the same thing but its about the world economic forum actually being a real force.
Welcome to the next rabbit hole.
@CinnaMilkVT
@Shimmersoft
She's saying she doesn't find him attractive.
Imagine a man saying he could never see himself spending money on you on putting in effort for dates etc, but yoincan call over for some boots and do the dishes if you like.
That's what it sounds like to men.
@TullipR
@ImWatson91
Aww you two!! That's so heartwarming.
I have to get off twitter, I need my hard face on for the work ahead today, you lot are making me soft.
@quasiwolf
@hasanthehun
Just go outside more.
If you go to certain places like sports bars, Dock restaurants on the med, and MMA gyms. You'll find that there's there's huge % of men with similar personalities and attitudes.
What's rare is for people like him to make it past the NSFW filter.
@oratoba
@StuffNNonense
@Matthew08348308
The second sentence is all you need to know.
Trans women aren't banned from playing rugby.
He is resigning on the basis of misinformation.
They are just not allowed play women's rugby. They aren't banned.
we can't pretend there is no difference between transwomen and women.
@HephaistosF
@DutchVigilante
@TitaniaMcGrath
I find "problematic" very triggering since my flatulence diagnosis was dismissed as non problematic by the ambulance service. Please improve your rhetoric.
@sometherapist
Nah.
I was given a pronoun badge at a conference this summer on regeneration ag. I just threw it in the bin, noone asked. If they did I probably would have made a comment about the fact we all breed animals for a living and this really shouldn't be a problem.
@ItIsHoeMath
Great explanation.
Telling a guy he's the one holding the flowers is never going to go down well.
She said a lot about herself I that compliment.
@TullipR
..cheering on other types of men. it started to open him up a bit and we eventually got him into a stage school to train as a dancer. now at 15, he hasn't expressed any dysphoria in about 3 years.
I reminded them all, we were raised by brutes, who themselves were tortured their whole lives, so we have no skills for coping, and so what hope do we have only to try make some progress and not pass on our traumas to the next generation.
End.
@uncle_deluge
If you consider what our ancestors did to get us this far, it makes modern life seem so stupid.
We have such powerful tools. And look what we do with them.
@KatyMontgomerie
These are sex tests, not gender. They can feel any which way about themself it only matter what sex they are, for sports.
And if someone has given birth, there really isn't any question over their sex.
I'll give you the "but what if..." and change it to my sister, since that's
@DavidStoneMRL
@darrengrimes_
He did the very clever thing and realised he doesn't have a protected characteristic so did his bit, well done lad! and then got out dodge before he became Britain's latest racist Icon.
@LibertiesInfo
@MeechMunchies
When I was bout 18, I used to meet with the gang every Friday for spliffs n FIFA, after a few years, some of them were doing it every day, couldn't go anywhere with them, perma zombie stoned. Always sneaking off bc of the smell, life became all about getting stoned.
@Fiskantes
Life is about how hard you can get hit and get back up and keep going.
I've lived under a bridge with the junkies, walked 120miles with a backpack and lived a tent for near 2 years. Built a farm from nothing, with a broowed shovel and wheel barrow
Stay hard
Stay in the fight
@CroneInAMillion
It's not. A warrant is always needed with the only exceptions being that if they see a crime happening inside or are pursuing a suspect who runs into your house.
It takes years to process, but that cop will be disciplined and Caroline will be paid off or can sue them.
@MeechMunchies
Same ole story, happens with drink, weed pills etc too. It starts out grand, then devolves to madness, people move on and a core group get left at it. Some move on faster than others.
Groups of people drift and merge and split over time. You sound ready for more now.
@MaiaDunphy
The argument isn't "against transpeople".
The argument is that self ID is dangerous and so we need a definition of who is and isn't trans rather than its anyone who says so.
E.g. this wasn't about the game, it was about the changing room.
@KatyMontgomerie
Can you name any definition that had no exceptions?
Even things as obvious as "up and down" have exceptions.
How does this mean that we should relax our safeguarding of kids? Or that Tim gets to Don lipstick and be a woman for the day and take photos of himself in tbe toilets?
@ChivalryGuild
You should have a look through the history of ireland and what the English nobility did to the Irish.
All your commentary relates to inter-noble relations. The plebs were rarely ever treated better than cattle.
700 baby corpses in the convent septic tank says it all.
@LibertiesInfo
@MeechMunchies
The point is that it's not weed, or coke. This happens mostly with drink anyway.
I get the impulse to defend weed as not a narcotic or as damaging to health.
But the degen behaviour is not about the drug, its about escapism, emotional pain, feeling of being lost etc
@ask_aubry
You've just had a baby. Whatever the problem, even if it's disrespect, the answer isn't to deprive your child of a father.
Yes, its strangely petty, but yes YATA for thinking about leaving over something so trivial and petty.
@AniTweetCity2
I guess it depends on the industry and the work,
But if I have to pay interns. I won't be taking any more.
They are such a drag on the business, they are there to learn. So someone has to teach them instead of getting on with the job.
The cost money. Why would I pay for that?
@burtmackliinFBI
"Often, even when other women including her family, all agree she is having a moment, the feminist will feel like she is a righteous victim of men, thus this is the fate of the other women too, when their time comes"
I should have been a feminist author. This stuff comes so easy
@SourPatches2077
I've always felt that it was shame that so many kids need adoption and people spend fortunes on IVF.
If you want a child, there's loads that need parents already.
@MeghanEMurphy
Would it be safe to say that you'd feel this way about any man who takes up a type of feminist activism? Especially if they are successful?
Is there any men in the gc movement you think are honest actors?
@amazingatheist
You forget what people are actually like and how much blood was spilled to make those borders.
By all means, leave your front door unlocked and see what happens.
You give up your own borders first and then talk about the bigger ones.
@D16584667
@ScienceWDrDoug
He didn't say anyone was wrong. He said it's not working. And rather than admit it's not working, those experts have doubled down. Because those experts are only "experts" for as long as they say the right things politically.
Say the wrong thing, not an expert anymore.
@Kellie_T92
Hehe, yeah at one point it was necessary, now they get melted at such high temp the colours don't matter, metals float and plastics brun off.. Been that way for about 20 years.
You don't even need to seperate glass from tins.
@sarahschauer
Get the right amount, and you will experience total oneness. See yourself without your ego, meet God and realise its you, and everyone else too. Because we are all one.
The reason that makes no sense to you is because you are blind and that's a description of a colour.
@eva_kurilova
Makes a nice change from everything being sexist misogyny.
Can we get back to reality soon, yknow, the reality where men and women are different and not interchangeable?
@DesignTheFuture
@ask_aubry
I applaud your even handedness and consideration of both he father and the most practice outcome.
Man to man, if he were my brother or friend. I'd be telling him he has a duty to uphold. And stay at the head end of the bed, holding her hand, and cheering her on.
@WitchyMcWitch
I'd already broken all the women's weight lifting world records by the age of 16, and I was just a rugby player who didn't make it past provincial level.
Anyone being fooled by this should be barred from any decision making roles for the rest of their life.
@KaeleyT
@BenjaminABoyce
Anything can be a cage if you frame it in terms of its sacrifices and don't live out a philosophy of willingness making sacrifices.
Don't worry about it being fair. Family men work their body's into the ground and get no glory or recognition either. It's just expected of us too.
@TheEcho13
I could do a thread like this on just my younger brothers dates in the last 6 months.
The 50/50 thing is quite funny. From what I can tell it'sthe men saying they don't want a 2nd date. By splitting the bill they get the woman to think it's her choice.
It's a cute trick.
@TheEcho13
Inside a relationship that primarily happens when she measures you against a new man who has shown interest in her and she found you lacking.
Attempts at telling a man what she needs from him would require her to know this in advance of needing it. Women aren't like that.
@MavenOfMayhem
There is a flip side too. My son was wierd, awkward, very sensory, slow I school, effeminate and everyone was trying to diagnose him.
Around 10 the therapists wanted to transition him. I refused.
He is 15 now, happy, prob gay. Loves growing into his male form.
They were wrong.
@Independent_ie
Surely that's that right? Can you continue to have someone of that character trusted to give eye witness evidence in a uniform in court?
Would it be prudent to review a lot of her work for some technicals that might be inline with this kind of deception?
@AMLinehan
@CraneBeachMass
all 5 of my kids were raised on sand n surfing. Not 1 of them was ever in the water without a life jacket till they were ready.
Biggest mistake I see is that people don't recognise the huge difference between a swimming pool and the sea and don't learn to swim in waves.
@hollowearthterf
Some women tell the entire world about her problems rather than talk to her husband about it.
If you ask enough questions I bet you'll find he used to do stuff and she nagged him off it or perceived it as an insult so my man is hiding in his room till she's gone.
@thejournal_ie
I'll take it
It's not ideal. People should be allowed grow it at home now that its being conceded that it's nowhere near as dangerous as promoted and safer than a lot of stuff in the pharmacy.
It's a good start.
@DrProudman
Developing an irrational fear. Arachnophobia or androphobia, doesn't make the fear valid. Understandable maybe, but inaccurate, trauma responses aren't actionable.
You mistake having compassion for someone's irrational behaviour for thinking we have to build society around them
@anathemaprecise
I think the judgement will come from the kids
It's a common idea in group therapy for adults, to wish their parents were stricter and said no more, whether that's drink n drugs or letting them hang out at night in the city at 14, have a much older boyfriend etc
This will be same
@Sarahjdublin
Is it fair to say that if someone calls me a nazi that i can expect this gives moral permission for violence?
This might have some unexpected results.
It looks like a mess. But there is about 8 experiments running, avg of €600/week in produce coming out in flowers, salads and herbs.
This is just my project tunnel.
Food is getting expensive. Time to get in the game. This tunnel is 20×6m and would cost about €5000 to...
@TullipR
I worry/think you won't find that landing provided by women. You have to find the answers from men.
Bad news is, all the men are struggling. We don't have all male groups and are suffering from seeking validation from women for a few generations.
Much work to be done.
@migrainedinpgh
@Hamsterpilled_
That's funny.
All the over 30 single women I know, family n friends, do nothing but talk about me and their singledom.
They seem happiest at the beginning of new relationships, saddest when relationships end and very unhappy when gossiping around the kitchen table with mothers.
@aimeeterese
@BillboardChris
It's because it's only women that you're being bullied by teenagers and simps.
Bring your Husbands and this stuff won't happen because you won't appear so vulnerable.
Chris is on his own all the time. Also a big mistake.
@MaiaDunphy
So you're not concerned that your kids may have adults explaining their teen angst to them as being trans, and if you don't affirm this as parent you are abusing your kids?
Or are you just talking about other people's children?
Many people want to take away the veto parents have
@ToshCooey
@mysteriouskat
People who care about these things are into family life. They have a right to have their standards wherever they want.
Women who aren't shouldn't care and the questions about it should be a give away that the man is looking for something you're not offering.
@oratoba
@StuffNNonense
@Matthew08348308
There is nothing stopping them playing rugby. They can play the men.
What it means is that for his particular instance and circumstance, we aren't going to pretend they are actually female. However they handle their medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria is noone else's business
@jack_govier
@elonmusk
@DrEliDavid
The problem isn't food availability or funding. It's corruption, war, cultural problems, religions and just general human behaviour.
But mostly just corrupt politicians and Kings.
@FitFounder
I've spent time in Irish Prison. It's a punishment facility where we are treated like dogs, and I came out hating society.
A good friend has been in German prison, they get counselling and therapy and actual help to reintegrate, skills and education, and he came out a new man..
@caulmick
How about we get rid of the private system altogether and then maybe the rich people who ripped everyone off during the tiger years might put a bit of pressure on to fix the HSE.
For as long as the Lords and ladies are shielded from the mess they made, it's not a problem.
@saylor
Yea but I have to out my kids through college and retire with health care and without starving.
Not just to have a digital golden throne to sit on so people think I'm cool......
Why not invest your gains in innovation and education?
@lauren_wilford
I love in a tight community and have to have a rule about upstairs in my house being private.
Kitchen full of neighbours and wife's friends 5 nights a week.
Lonely? Never.
Privacy? Minimum.
Help? Always.
Security? Maximum.
Ideas? Well thrashed
Kids? Hear adults talking a lot.
@VaushV
Imagine cultivating an audience and then realising just how toxic they are.
You have been everything you're complaining about for years you big hypocrit.
@TullipR
i point blank refused to put him on blockers. they couldnt do it without a parent. so we just took all the pressure but refused to buckle. we gave everyone a chance and read every report, every study. spoke with adult trans people. but the risks of the drugs vs risk of waiting...
@CardanoApps
And if you are into logarithmic channels and that type of really mathzy charting. They all indicate several months of choppy sideways ups n downs. New ranges forming with little pops up n down.
If you are investing, buy dips and wait.
Or learn to trade ranges.
@ThisIsREngland
Yeah that's OK. All the different types of white people all hate each other. Just like all the other colour groups and ethnicities that make them up.
People hate their neighbours, the next town, county etc.
It's just people being people.
@Maro_Virino
@catcattinson
When I was in the gender clinic talking about my son, he was recommended blockers, the gender therapist was a TiM, and he really struggled to stick to speaking about my son and not himself, and hear what I was saying about my son and not think I was talking about him.
Odd huh?
