The Daily Show‘s Desi Lydic had a conversation with Rebecca Traister (an excellent writer whom I used to read and link to before her publication New York magazine went behind a paywall) and Brittney Cooper, and they both had very interesting insights into the current race for the presidency and the gender and masculinity dynamics at play, with Republicans appealing to the manosphere in an especially icky way while Democrats have become able to comfortably speak about traditionally feminist issues. They also talk about how anger is being channeled by the Harris-Walz campaign in a joyful way.
Well worth watching.

Thanks!
I was not aware of this option.
I can’t watch Desi Lydic, her voice is too shrill.
(Well, I suppose I could with subtitles and the sound off, nothing wrong with anything other than her voice)
thnx JM
that was an interesting comment
@ ^
I still want that cage match guys.
Who is Desi Lydic cage fighting, UnsilentBob?
(Already told you, I don’t care to watch her, so I wouldn’t know about the cage match)

Sorry. Carry on.
You are the one carrying on, UnsilentBoob.
Again: Who is Desi Lydic cage fighting, UnsilentBob?
You just made that up, didn’t you?
Gotta love your stalking and sniping.
Carry on.
BTW Morales in case you need me to explain the oblique passive aggression of weeaboo whatever his pretend name is, he’s saying your comment was misogynistic as fuck.
BTW, BobTheeUnsilent makes it a point to speak about me to the unseen audience.
Then, he makes shit up and imputes it to me.
—
You have been told over and over chigau is an older woman, just as I am an older man.
—
Anyway, be creepy and weird all you want.
Everyone can see who pops into threads purely to talk about me.
Bob.
Ah well, since there’s a hint of an attempt at a point (whilst misgendering chigau most deliberately):
That would be idiotic.
(It’s her voice, not her gender)
But yeah, nothing misogynistic about persistently misgendering someone, quite deliberately.
(You know, like a certain famous writer, and with as much truthfulness)
Bob.
Anyway, everyone do their best to ignore the resident troll (better than me) and listen to the women in the video.
Mano posted it for a reason. (Not so you know who can tell us how whiny women are -- actually the opposite.)
Silentbob
You demented fuckwit.
Explain to me how you reached the “conclusion” that I am “weeaboo”.
Explain to me how you reached the “conclusion” that I am an adolescent male.
“… listen to the women in the video.”
You — O nonSilentBob — are not listening to the women in the comments.
You are doing exactly the same to chigau as those people did to the boxer.
Misgendering her. Deliberately. Maliciously. And stupidly.
Bob.
—
Your hypocrisy knows no bounds, either at that or at your persistent attempted trolling, where for literally years now in more than one blog you have kept popping in to announce how trollish I am.
Bob.

Here is a straight-out lie:
“(Not so you know who can tell us how whiny women are — actually the opposite.)”
Only a clueless person such as you would assume me talking about one particular woman’s speaking voice means I think women are “whiny”.
See, it’s about nasal shrillness which possibly sounds melifluous to such as you, but that to me is super-annoying. Aural discomfort. Kinda distracts my attention.
Nothing wrong with her content, but I found myself closing the video the second time she was featured.
How you transmute a shrill voice into how whiny women supposedly are is best left to a psychiatrist to determine, Bob. Me, I reckon you are running out of ways to try to disparage me and thus have to resort to outright lies.
Good job there, Bob.
So, Bob. Well done in thus showing your style.
Here, for you:
https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/01/19/colorized-darwin/#comment-247521
So, Bob.
A long time to be a teenage boy, no?
(Other women have also previously told you chigau is a woman, but hey — when on a misgendering binge, why not double down? Just ignore the women. Don’t pay attention to what they actually say.
And, obviously, she began commenting when she was a toddler, no? Very strange!
Heh.
Would the both of you just get a room already??
You don’t get the dynamic yet, BB.
He’s literally (I do not exaggerate one bit) been doing this for years.
It’s what he does.
So, what you are suggesting is that I should just shut up and not respond when he strokes his neediness to pop into threads and talk about me.
(I see you’re falling into the same pattern; be aware of it)
Anyway, BB: there is a [SilentBob and me] about as much as there is a [Bekenstein Bound and me].
Both are notional, both rely on my responding to people who either address me or my supposed character and demeanour and whatnot.
Only difference, you’ve barely begun to fall into that particular path; best for you and others that you eon’t end up like Bob, who chose the path of the antipath and is now an obsessed hatefan of mine.
—
Seriously. I could not be any straighter with you, BB.
@ 16 Bekenstein Bound
Here’s how you tell the difference between a troll and the (latest) victim of a troll. Get Morales to commit to never again posting on this blog and I will happily do likewise, in the interest of the common good.
See if you can get him to make the same commitment. (Good luck with that.)
I’ve honestly no idea why this loony is obsessed with me, but I will glady never post here again if you can convince him to do likewise (i.e. stop trolling.) I would consider it a public service.
“I’ve honestly no idea why this loony is obsessed with me”
A more perfect DARVO cannot exist.
—
See, BobTheUnsilent, here’s the thing.
Me: “her voice is too shrill.” → You: “how whiny women are”.
You are the one who (quite literally) have over and over and over and over announced just as loudly how hyper-literal I am. How spectral I am. How I don’t get metaphor, how I don’t get nuance.
Then, you accuse me of saying all women are whiny because I find one woman’s voice grating.
This, though I appended a parenthetical clarification (“nothing wrong with anything other than her voice”).
—
Anyway, please, you and BB get a room. 😉
Bloody hell, why does a thread about anger and joy have to be gummed up with one of the most boring verbal slap-fights ever?
PS: Does anyone calling chigau a “weeaboo” even know what the word means, let alone whether chigau fits that definition?
Ask unSilentBob, and his cage-fight wishful hopefulness.
The only one doing that is the unSilentBob, and yes he does.
Raging Bee
Pettiness? Immaturity? Lack of consideration for others? The inability to ignore baiting? So many options for why Mano’s entire comment section is currently dominated by one individuals personal grudges.
Except for the response to SB being an ass to Chigau, the bulk of the commentary is just pissing on hydrants.
