Before I start off this list, I want to remind everyone that I feel every bit as passionately about the shittiness of both genders in modern American society. I actually gave the 'ladies' a break when I did their list, as I couldn't quell my passion enough to spell, much less write well. I would also like to take the opportunity to state that if more than one of these things applies to a 'man', he isn't really a man, he is a boy-child with a grown penis.
11: Being pretty has a place in our lives now, and that's fine, but it should NEVER take precedent over function. e.g. The other day I stopped to help an aging woman get a couch up to her apartment. A passing 'man' refused to help because, "Dude, I just got my chest waxed and my shirt is new." Great, your as pretty as the women who won't fuck you because your a useless douche. Real manly.
10: The idea that having male genitals make one a 'man'. Nope. Hair, muscles, penis, even smarts alone don't make an overgrown boy a man. Men are made by what they do and how they act, as are women. Once those criterion are met, then we separate the men and women based on nuts and lips.
9: Earnings do not equal masculine worth. Gold digging women try to impose this standard all the time, and it degrades their worth when they do. As men we do this to ourselves and each other sevenfold. Bringing in a paycheck, no matter how large or small has very little to do with the measure of a man. Even if you have mouths to feed it is a byproduct of being a man, not a requirement or precursor.
8: Expecting women to bear the responsibilities. 100 years ago a man would have been ashamed to admit that he handed money over to his wife and burdened her with the responsibility of getting things done. These days, men will fork over everything they possibly can in terms of doing. It's peter pan syndrome at its worst. "No need to be independent and do my own fucking laundry like a grown ass man, I can exploit my wife to do it. I'm a fat hairy dependent child!"
7: Blaming their penis for their shortcomings. Again, in times of yore a man would've sooner removed his penis than blamed his frailty on it. Saying one cannot do something because they are male is pathetic. Prior to the advent of the modern American male, the presence of a penis was grounds to refute the impossible, it was a denial of the limitations of mortal men. So saying, "I can't help it, I'm a man!", then your anything but a man. The two words that go together least are 'only' and 'man'. A penis says, "I should not allow these shortcomings to exist in me, my mere presence makes any failure unacceptable."
6: Believing that intelligence is incompatible with manliness. Seriously meat-heads, listen up. The #1 marked characteristic delineating men from boys, until the recent upturn in anti-male feminist politics, was intelligence, followed closely by culture, kindness and education, with 'hard workin' being a distant fifth. Men are smart, and should be. When I see men going to deliberate lengths to avoid seeming like they have a brain, I am overcome with the urge to beat them down and castrate them, for at that point they are acting like the worst imaginable stereotype of an ape. Men don't think, men do. Horsecrap. Everything we enjoy in the world, from swords and guns, to T.V. and beer are the result of men thinking. Once they have done the thinking douchebag morons are put to work doing the laborious parts, before more smart men do teh proper doing.
5: The belief that feelings, or the regulation thereof, are incompatible with being a man. Men have feelings. Not tending to them weakens a man, makes him subject to acting like an ass and being run by forces of which he is not aware. On the opposite end of the spectrum anti-masculinity forces have led some men to believe that they should spew every little feeling, talk incessantly about their emotion, impose them on others, and never regulate them. Seriously guys on both sides...There is a real need to express feelings, in an appropriate time and place, with the right people.
4: Competing with other men to an excess. Men compete as do women. It's a little more intense with us though isn't it? When it turns into petty constant competitiveness it becomes an issue. Men seem to no longer be willing to compete at co-operative matters, such as seeing who can do more to solve a mutual problem. A group of bros divided is a bunch of unproductive fucktards.
3: A near total lack of moderation and self discipline. Men were once defined by their ability to take the middle ground, to moderate themselves. Men no longer play a half hour of video games, fuck no, they widow their wives with wow. They go out on benders every weekend. They lift weights until their hearts pop like a water balloon and smoke 3 packs a day. Men, as apposed to little boys, should have enough self discipline to know when to take a little and not overindulge. It's sooo pathetic.
2: Defining ourselves by our sexuality. Men have come to believe that they are only worth the number of vaginas they can poke. We have been taught that we are incapable of saying no to pussy. We pay for sexual related goods and services at a new and astounding frequency and rate. This goes back alot to #3, but is also it's own issue. We are the men we are, regardless of whether or not we get laid. We can live with it, and we're typically better off when we do. No real man would ever endure abuse, expense, betrayal, degradation or even minor irritation for a blowjob. I literally know 'men' that have accepted sexual favors as penance for acts of severe violence. Grow up, and stop letting your dick rule your life. She speaks to you like a dog, don't lower yourself by allowing a petty physical urge to get the better of you, hold her responsible.
1: Not being selfless. Men sacrifice, they are incapable of getting even a tiny bit more from the people who they care about than they give. Pure and simple, real men are selfless, children are selfish. This is what drives the independence of men, the need to give, the desire to not force other people to put forth effort on your behalf. Men who are selfish, who are not willing to give, not willing to put forth an effort and sacrifice by doing for themselves are not men. They are burdens to everyone around them. Men once commanded respect, not because others had to, but because they were compelled to do so. Because it was known that a man would give anything, laying down life, limb and sanity for those he loved. These days, it's hard to get some fuckers to take their hands out of their pants and put down the remote. Selfish men are just pathetic, and don't deserve the air they breath.

Dear Erica Jong,
I stumbled across these quotes of yours. I felt the need to reply.
I stumbled across these quotes of yours. I felt the need to reply.
“Isn't that the problem? That women have been swindled for centuries into substituting adornment for love, fashion (as it were) for passion?” ~Erica Jong
“Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness.” ~Erica Jong
“And the crazy part of it was even if you were clever, even if you spent your adolescence reading John Donne and Shaw, even if you studied history or zoology or physics and hoped to spend your life pursuing some difficult and challenging career, you still had a mind full of all the soupy longings that every high-school girl was awash in... underneath it, all you longed to be was annihilated by love, to be swept off your feet, to be filled up by a giant prick spouting sperm, soapsuds, silk and satins and, of course, money.” ~Erica Jong ** Couldn’t be truncated for brevity sake.
I can’t imagine where any sane man would begin riposting these remarks. The blithe and tasteless lack of two sidedness, objectivity or decency held in them is simply beyond comprehension for anyone who isn’t utterly bereft of empathy.
Women have not been forced to substitute adornment for love, or fashion for passion. Men throughout history who have loved the women they were with wanted nothing more desperately than to afford them their every want. As a man I can tell you this is nothing short of a need in my kind. The need to give, to provide, to sacrifice.
These things were given to women because, and for no other reason than, a woman will take adornment over love any day. I have yet to meet a woman who would hesitate to trade a loving and kind man for one who can buy her tragically expensive things. It is by the choice of women, that even now men are expected to give anything and everything without notion of self involved, as ransom for what fools refer to as a womans so called love and care.
It is demanded of men that they be sperm donors and wallets. Nothing more, and never anything less, at least if we want a woman to act falsely enough to convince us that we are loved. Our value, especially to women, is held solely in the number of days, hours and dollars we will hand over without so much as respect, decency or kindness in return. If we do not, we are failures. Our genetic material, and our wallets stands far above us as men, and it has always been such. Men were the ones swindled into giving, often until death, for women who never loved them, but only saw them as financial benefactors. This was a disgrace to both men and women, and will always be. The difference now, is that women are no longer held to such roles, but men are more than ever. Here’s to your giant penis, spewing sperm, silk and twenty dollar bills, but doing little to clean your character.
Why would men do this if it’s so wrong and demeaning to both men and women? Because, and I speak for every good man still left, undamaged and willing to follow the dictates of his frail male heart, we do idealize women. We cannot help but want to serve, to love, to protect and uplift. Women being idealized into powerlessness was as much a fault of women as it was of men. We tend in this direction because of an overwhelming urge to give, to separate someone precious from any wanting. Women indulge this for the overwhelming urge to take, and do without the burden of reciprocation or consequence for the harm done by its lacking. To say that this has been the thumb sized rod of male indecency and vileness is to shit on the heads, deeds and heartfelt gifts, of every loving man who has ever existed. Keep no doubt, lady, that every single one of those good men existed for the women they loved. You make comments like that because, as a woman, you will never know what it is to desperately love someone so much that you would dedicate your entire life to them, to live and die for them. You will never feel what it is to want to give more and more, not because you’re obliged to do so, but because it aches and burns in your heart to do so.
The apex of feminism is the slow telling of how morally superior women aren’t as they bring to themselves the mantle of authority. They are in fact, and in greater proportion I fear, just as dastardly and venomous as the worst of men. A woman unchained is no different than a man, save her lack of need for or capacity to render love, her lack of empathy and of course her phenomenal lack of ability to hold herself accountable.
Mz. Jong; may you have many sons, and may they all suffer and die at the hands of your sisters. Perhaps you might discover that there is just as much inherent beauty and value in mere men, as there is the unblemishable female.

10 reasons why open source will always be garbage.
Open Source has alot of potential. Open Source is both free and transparent. Those are both really good things aren't they? Linux is a full blown O.S. with great security and tons of built in apps.
The tragic truth about Open Source, in spite of all of its potential, is that 99% of the time it is a complete waste of bandwidth. It is now, and will always be, utter garbage. From here on in, I shall refer to Open Source as Open Sores. Here are the ten most undeniable reasons why Open Sores will never be worth anything ...
10. Open sores is supposed to be about community and the free exchange of ideas. In reality, it is about a bunch of elitist schmucks trying their best to run new members, and old members with divergent opinions, out of the community.
9. Open Sores has millions of projects, 90% of which are actually 10,000 variations of the same thing. The end result is that 10,000 would be Diablo clones never mature. The better projects, invariably try to compete with smaller projects, or apply number ten to any of the smaller projects contributors who would try to join them.
8. The vast majority of projects start strong, then realize 9 and 10 are true, and then stagnate. Stagnation is where all but one person leaves a project, no one new comes on-board, and that remaining developer refuses to let it go. The end result? 5 million projects that will NEVER be completed, have useless features or major shortcomings that could only be remedied with outside influence. The best part is to find one half way decent application, you have to download, install and take a couple hours to discover the inherent suck of the other 4,999,999 programs.
7. Because 8 and 9 are true, there aren't enough Open Sores projects that are solid enough to justify swapping out the commercial price tag for inferior software. That is to say that it's typically better for users to just spend $500 than it is for them to try and deal with the Open Sores. If 8, and 9 weren't true, more Open Sores would mature into something that was at least of equal usefulness when compared to it's commercial counterpart. Without user support, especially in the form of new contributors coming onto a project, Open Sores is just a bunch of celibate nerds and their crappy pet projects.
6. Because 7-10 tend to be true, the few rare gems with potential end up never seeing the light of day, and they die off, or as they are developed they remain unknown and fail to become a significant standard in their niche. An excellent example of this is GIMP. It's a pretty good program, it has it's issue due mostly to 7 and 8 on this list. It's good, especially for free. But the commercial big hitters lack the irritations of GIMP. Thus businesses and pros tend to just use the big name stuff, and the rest have probably never heard of gimp. If they would up their game for one year, they would start getting support, even financial from businesses. That would require new blood, new ideas, and a willingness to make #1 not be true.
5. A lack of infrastructure standards murders most Open Sores. This is known around the Linux community as dependency hell. Dependency hell is also what lengthens release and patch cycles. If the Open Sores community would stop for ten days and deal with their actual development tools and internal infrastructure countless projects would find that most of their problems would go away. This also means that for any new blood willing to stay on and keep working despite the afore mentioned problems, there is a plethora of irksome problems they must learn to work around.
4. Due largely to 5, but also to 6-10; the turnaround for bug-fixes, implementation of new and improved features, and the ability to draw in new talent who is willing to struggle and bust their asses on a project is far slower and less effective than it should be.
3. Sort of a sub set of 4 and 5 (see how this is going), Open Sores projects are relying more and more as the years pass on commercial software for design and development. This means that in order to work on an a project, an incoming developer may have to spend thousands on things like Visual C++, crystal, Photoshop, Bryce etc. Unfortunately relying on the free equivalent versions of any of these tools means that 4 and 5 can quickly turn into insurmountable obstacles for the much needed new blood.
2. Because it is Open Sores, it is OPEN. This is a double edged sword. This has lead to an epic (or epicacic) lack of standards that contributes to every single afore mentioned problem. 400 varieties of Linux, 12 versions of python, 200 difference versions of any given library. Real nice soup-sandwich-waffle-dog ya got their Franken-app. Now find me any serious and sane individual that wants to sort through all that to avoid finding out that the code he or she spent six months on isn't going to work now because a new snippet of functionality needed some other obscure flavor of G-Lib or Python.
1. Nothing is ever wrong or lacking with Linux or any other open source application. If you don't want to spend an hour recompiling a library, and then another 20 minutes in a prompt to set the permissions and gain access to a cd drive twice a week, and especially if you don't know how to do this, then your a retard and an asshole. If you want something to be user friendly, just install and go get it, then your a Windoze loving idiot who deserves to die. If you go on a forum and ask how something works, rather than parsing countless poorly worded faqs, figuring it out for yourself(as if, the average user hires men and women like me to work on macs and windows machines), or reading all 900,000 poorly categorized posts by other folks who were just as confused, then you suck. Unfortunately for Linux and Open Sores, most sane people will go ahead and take the easier, more productive route. This means no support from them. Yes Linux is more secure. Hackers won't shit in their own back yard, duh. Even with the occasional virus related loss, the other guys are still too much easier and faster for anything Open Sores to catch up. They are also nearly universally supported by any app or vendor a person would actually WANT to use. But, I'm an asshole and Open Sores are just perfect.
