Do men fear the end of patriarchy? Apparently!

Are you familiar with Mandrama? It's this super-embarrassing thing dudes do when trying to pretend not to be agitated. And then - oops! Out it comes! Comments like "You made me cry you evil bitch!" This website documents such outbursts. Fu-nny. I almost peed myself. Can someone put it in "stuff to look at"? I'm website illiterate and can't figure it out...

That website kind of makes me feel uncomfortable. It's making fun of men because they're doing something "girly" (or saying terrible things to women) which is not a good indicator that the patriarchy is ending any time soon.

True dat! The discomfort makes me giggle! But I think men saying terrible things to women SHOULD be responded to with laughter. If a dude resorts to calling his girlfriend an evil bitch because she hurt his feelings, that's an exposure of HIS weakness, not hers. It's like when a child is scared so he throws a tantrum. Or when my cat feels cornered and starts hissing. Unabashed anger is almost always a response to fear you can't cope with.
