Our side needs to attack "bro culture"
No more of this tiptoeing around issues in fear it may offend someone. We need to relentlessly attack and demonized "bro culture" as the toxic hateful and misogynistic ideology it is. Start with Portnoy, Rogan, and Tate. Unfortunately today it requires us to get into the mud pit with the otherside and fight on their level.

1. What form would this attack take?

Assault rifles?

Not watching seems about the only real way to 'attack' these mouth-breathers.

4. Attack their masculinity

They have gone full beta on Trump. They are eating his shit. A real man wouldn’t let a man do that to them.

There is not an ounce of testosterone at the DUmp.

>>>"start with Portnoy" >>>

Ah yes.  Only Portnoy I know of at the moment involves "Portnoy's Complaint".  ( Which is probably why many DUmpers are familiar with the 'multiple uses of liver'  ) 

I will go back to my room now and be good.

Great idea, other than 1 problem:

No more of this tiptoeing around issues in fear it may offend someone.

You'll have to start getting on the '80' side of 80-20 issues, instead of being on the '20' side, which isn't going to happen any time soon.

Other than that, great plan, DUmmy

 

(Besides that, nobody will buy the misogyny schtick so long as you lot want males playing in female sports and occupying female showers, locker rooms, and prisons.)

Funny how they can suddenly define a man from a woman.

Our side needs to attack "bro culture"

Low post count noob looking for street cred.

The libs despise these "popular" podcasts because they can't draw an audience anywhere. And I'm dubious of how influential Rogan, Portnoy, and this Andrew Tate guy actually are. Most normal people have real lives and don't have enough time in the day to listen to all that junk.

Rogan was quite hilarious on NewsRadio 30 years ago, and I don't follow UFC and didn't really care for his NBC show "Fear Factor". And I've never heard his podcast. Don't follow Barstool Sports, and while I do like David Portnoy, don't think he wields that much power. Barely know who the hell that Tate guy is.

Whatever happened to the leftists ideal of the new face of modern masculinity? The nanny-knocker-upper former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Jazz Hands Tim Walz? I was told they were the new Alan Alda's for the 21st century.

What is "bro culture"?  First thing I think of is this C-class pot head wrestler. 



Looks like a good fit at the DUmp.

WTH is "bro culture"? Is it something banned in Silicon Valley and thus I haven't heard of it? If I had the $$ and cared to, I could probably find a restaurant here in Silicon Valley featuring a different ethnic culture's food for 10 or 15 days, but "bro culture"?

Who are "Portnoy, Rogan, and Tate"? I don't know every conservative or R voice and am not great at remembering names, but "Rogan" is the only one I've heard of, if it's Joe Rogan (though, TBH, I don't know what his gig is).

When have Progs EVER "feared it may offend someone"? Lefties have been intentionally offending people ever since Berserkeley's mid-60s "Filthy Speech Movement" (and maybe before that).

How would we recognize Progs "relentlessly attacking and demonizing" as distinct from their past 10 years of Trump-Hate?

"(G)et into the mud pit"? Mud-pit dwelling Progs dug and slimed the mud pit in they infest.

Fisking that post was like shooting fish in a 5-gallon bucket using both barrels of a 12-gauge. Unsporting.

I came in expecting this to be another DU post about how democrats must continue some strategy or tactic that has been tried (and has failed) for ywars.

And DU did not disappoint.

How would this differ from their years of attacks on what they deem "toxic masculinity"...which has driven men towards figures like Rogan and (regrettably) Tate?

Went to W'pedia's article on Andrew Tate (taking a block of salt along with me, of course). Sounds like he's a caricature of feminazis' stereotype of a non-feminized male.

Am not an expert in this leftist code-word of "bro-culture", but it certainly means that men absolutely should not dare provide or protect their best gal.

Something as simple as chivalry, which real gentlemen do on an everyday basis.

Gotta love this: "We don't commit rape. We don't defend rapists. We condemn sexual misconduct."

Someone has forgotten all about Bill Clinton and Ted "Waitress Sammich" Kennedy.

Rogan was quite hilarious on NewsRadio 30 years ago, and I don't follow UFC and didn't really care for his NBC show "Fear Factor". And I've never heard his podcast.

I've never been a fan of Rogan, ever since he and Doug Stanhope ran 'The Man Show' (Once one of the funniest shows on TV, back when Adam Carolla and pre- selling- out Jimmy Kimmel hosted it) into the ground in half a season.

That being said, I'm also obviously not a fan of the DUmmies, or their belief that all men need to be useless, spineless, neutered, effeminate beta pansies.

Kimmel used to be funny, whether it was on Fox's NFL pregame shows, the game show "Win Ben Stein's Money" and of course "The Man Show".

I'm guessing he married a woman who put his testicles into the proverbial lockbox. And now he's the prototype of a Beta male, which of course leftists adore.

  Yeah, that's the demonrats' problem. You're being too nice. 

I’m going to do you a favor and give you a subtle clue as to why the demonrats are having problems winning over the American people. It’s not because you’re being too nice, and it’s not because you’re all pond scum. It’s because you are hypocritical, idiotic, hate-filled, intolerant, vile, parasitic piles of excrement from the bowels of pond scum. And not from the bowels of just any pond scum. From the pond scum that is so pathetic and evil that it is shunned and despised by regular pond scum.

A classic movie line:

Julianne Potter:
I'm pond scum. Well, lower actually. I'm like the fungus that feeds on pond scum.

Michael O'Neill:
Lower. The pus that infects the mucus that cruds up the fungus that feeds on the pond scum. On the other hand, thank you for loving me that much, that way. It's pretty flattering.

And about the illegal alien child rapists they give aid and comfort to.

Anyone other than me remember the slap-fight that erupted over there about "benevolent sexism" and how holding the door open for a woman was horribly misogynistic.  The hardcore feminazis were trying to push the idea that even the most minor acts of kindness that random men offer to random women was a sure sign of "rape culture".

Haven't heard the term "feminazi" since Rush passed. Therefore, a well earned
