> You must look around and see the lack of men, and force yourself to become one.

As a man I need you to expand on this because I'm trying to imagine what concrete actions you think "a man" would do in this circumstance, and of the things I've come up with the only one I think I'm allowed to say on this forum is "quit and find a new job."

Why complicate this? It's a well defined, harmless phrase. We don't have to pretend it's a touchy gender-related issue.

It clearly is not. Also the tone of this comment is at odds with site rules.

What do you mean, allowed to say on this forum? Who is around to stop you from saying what you mean? Is this some kind of dramatic display of your secondary status? What responsibility for you are you asking me to take?

> What do you mean, allowed to say on this forum?

This forum is ran by my fellow man, dang, who expects a certain level of decorum and discretion, and it would be ungentlemanly to act otherwise. A Real Man knows to keep his cards close to his chest. It's a violation of the Bro Code to say some stuff out loud, my dude.

> What responsibility for you are you asking me to take?

I'm asking you to explain what actions you think OP, as a Man, should take in this situation. Quit (quietly or loudly)? Refuse and get fired? Something else?


Your username and comment is soaked with a certain kind of negativity as you demand I take responsibility for my comment. Do you see that? I advise the blog author to do the opposite. I want him to look around and become the exact person that he looks at as an authority that stands tall and takes responsibility for their identity and their actions. He’ll meet resistance from people who can complain endlessly but never help or stop to think, but also much support from people who do help and need a strong and stable person. That’s what I recommend.

This is bizarre and hostile. Be clear or resist the urge to distract.
