In the US Republican primary debate, moderators ask for a show of hands of how many candidates believe in human-caused climate change. Not a single candidate raises their hand. - eviltoast

    Admitting being wrong is weak and unmanly.

    These are the same people who buy massive trucks and hang “balls” on them to out-manly the next guy.

    These are the same people who beat their sons when they see them “crying like a woman”.

    These are people who would rather see their children’s friends shot at school than admit that maybe they have an unhealthy relationship with guns.

    Toxic masculine stupidity.

      Funny you should see it as masculine stupidity when the rest of us see it as infantile stupidity

        Dude, if the shoe fits…

        Infantile is throwing tantrums like that orange idiot in the USA.

        Toxic masculinity is throwing your weight around so everyone know how “big” you are.

        It is not rocket science.

        Nice appeal to authority there: who exactly is the “rest of us”? At the moment it’s just you.
