Who says this?
The woman in the video being linked.
So, no one.
Are they AI creatures or something?
Wait, is this somesort of punishment, cuz it sounds amazing.
Like, getting away from shit for a year and head into the woods, no problems, no worries, make friends, brew some beer, campfires, games.
And you want us to come back to our 9-5’s, struggling wages, and stress?
Sounding better by the minute!
I’ll have to assume you assessment is correct because I sure as shit am not about to click on a TikTok link…
So yeah, that sounds amazing!
I’m sure not knowing if you’ll eat today, not knowing if you’ll stay dry at night is not at all stressful.
After you.
It becomes a lot less fun when you need to see a doctor, keep getting arrested for trespassing, etc.
I saw my last doctor with lower right abdominal pain, a fever, and blood in my urine.
He gave me a list of heartburn triggers and foods to avoid.
Some American health care is on par with survival of the fittest in my books. (Hopefully it changes soon. Still finding, or rather being assigned, a new doctor.)
… oh that? Pesky kidneys. This is why you have two of them. It’ll buff out. Take some maalox and see if that helps. 🙄 (sarcasm)
Are you arguing that, because you had a bad doctor, you might as well have no medical care at all?
I was homeless for a year and I must admit that I learned and grew so much. The freedom and detachment is cathartic. It’s like a drug, however, in that you’re likely to lose yourself if you stay in that environment for too long.
Never been happier that TikTok is blocked at the router level of my network.
Men are in a constant competition to seem manlier than the person next to them.
Of course it’s not until later that it becomes obvious that it’s all just self esteem problems and not being comfortable with ourselves.
The ultimate manliness is realizing you don’t care if other people think you’re manly.

Oh I agree - it’s just
shockingwell not anymore to see people pushing toxic masculinity THIS DAMNED HARD.I’m very guilty of this, especially after someone close to me was assaulted by a predatory human being.
I don’t think there’s any easy way back when self esteem & self comfort are destroyed like that either, and just worsens the “competition” thing.
Fully agree with your last point
I don’t care about being manly
(that makes me super manly btw, right guys?)
🫣
Who knows at this point! One of my make mentors said it to me years ago. I said something stupid like “isn’t that kind of girly?” About something and he replied “real men don’t care”. Shattered my toxic masculinity.
I’m waaay happier now, and realized I can be whoever I want. I can be an and still be a massive swiftie, enjoy hard rock while enjoying a rom com that same day, it’s just easier
Oh I agree whole heartedly.
I meant more that if you don’t actually care, you don’t preface it with how manly that makes you.
Yes, yes it does.
I see you’re trying to be the bigger man by proclaiming you don’t care. Not fooling me!
It’s ragebait. Ignore it. Even if it’s not, attention is what they want. Engagement feeds the algorithm. Ignore it.
There will always be garbage, pants-on-heads stupidity on these platforms. I doubt the women saying this even believe what they are saying, it’s all to drive engagement via outrage
I don’t think being homeless will toughen you up. More like break you mentally.
I’d rather nail my foreskin to a tree than click a TikTok link.
WTF are you even looking at shite like that for?!?
Kinky!
Considering thousands of people recently protested in New York against a men’s shelter in real life it starts to become interesting to know who’s feeding that attitude and from where.
No idea what you’re talking about, I’m not getting my news sources from internet cancer
Women like that make me grateful I’m gay
Nope not clicking on that crap.

[A] I think only men should be homeless. I don’t think, I don’t think women should be allowed to be homeless.
[B] This is where the conversation was going to.
[A] Because I honestly think that men need to toughen up, and I think if men were forced to be homeless, they would learn to be better men. Because that’s what made men manly in the past, [it] was having to build houses and stuff.
[A] So if we just made men for like a year, I think, it would fix a lot of problems in society.
[B] That would be so good, specially because we’re not, we don’t force men to do military any more like they used to. Make them homeless for a year. Let’s see how they fucking…
[A] Yeah, make them just figure it out.
Let’s entertain a tiiiiny bit their view.
The problem of society, accordingly to those two, is that men aren’t “manly enough”, right? That prescribes the fixed roles, where men should be the “strong pillars” of society, and thus the ones deciding shit… and women obey and shut up, not being expected to emit their opinions.
So, what do we have here? Two muppets emitting an opinion that, ultimately, contradicts their right to omit opinions.
If their opinion is stupid, they should shut up, and stop saying stupid shit.
But even if their opinion wasn’t stupid (it is), they should still shut up, otherwise they’re being hypocrites preaching what they don’t follow!
This would be hilarious if not sad.
Is people is classic Ticktok and social media advise. Ah yes, make them homeless. What does that even mean exactly? At least with the military there is a clear requirement.
Thanks for the transcription
What’s crazy is attitudes like this are the most prevalent enforcement of patriarchy from a man’s perspective.
Fuck TikTok and fuck this post. To be clear, I didn’t click the shitty ass link
Maybe they should try dating a conservative. It’ll come with its own downsides but if it’s a manly man you’re after I’d say that statistically you’re probably more likely to find one at that side of the isle. I’m sure this is not at all controversial thing to say.
While I’m at it I do agree with the underlaying issue here; a great number of modern men can’t do much of the things a stereotypical man could do say 40 years ago. Being able to stand up for yourself and to build and fix things for example is something women do care about wether they admit it or not. It’s one of those things that’s not exactly fair but true nevertheless. It’s biological and they can’t help it.
Then why don’t you go out and do it?
Your experience is not representative of the world.
Yes it is.
This is how convincing statements like that are when you just make a claim and then don’t back it up with anything.
You started by saying that you didn’t believe what women say, so I really don’t think I could say anything to convince you.
Yet you chose to reply nevertheless
Yes. There are other people on this forum, and I wanted to directly reply to your comment, so they’d see mine immediately after yours.
There is no way that could be true at all. You would need to meet everyone on planet Earth.
When I speak of women as a group I don’t mean literally every single one. That’s not how averages work.
Throught history the role of a man has been a provider and a protector. Choosing a high status mate is in the best interest of the woman and ultimately her child. This same behavior holds true thru the entire animal kindom. Things like height, strenght and status are for men what a tail is for a peacock. It’s in our biology. And again… We’re speaking of averages.
You first.
