  • I have helped out quite a few younger men who looked up to me and I did “fix” most of them. I can’t say how much of that was me versus the maturity that comes with age. There are ones I couldn’t, whom I don’t talk to anymore and wouldn’t try again either. But I do believe that a big chunk, if not the majority, can improve because I’ve seen it happen myself.

    And women can do a lot here if they want. Three girls simultaneously saying “eww” or “that’s very uncool” does way more damage to a young man’s confidence than you realise. You have to let it cook.

    Reactionary ideologies like these prey on the vulnerable. And we cannot just abandon all vulnerable. They can be communism’s biggest allies because they are usually the most exploited.


  • I still feel we are arguing over different things. There are young confused boys who are struggling with life and adulthood and a section of men are telling them that at least a part of their problems is coming from how women behave. Then there’s your middle aged uncle who hits his wife. Two very different groups. The latter cannot be saved, no arguments from me.

    How about we compromise and say that other men use ‘elder brotherly guidance’ and peer pressure to pull them out while women keep their distance from them. Is that acceptable?






  • In my experience, the crackers themselves have gotten worse. There’s more colour and sound now, and I don’t remember them producing so much smoke back in the day. I used to be an avid arsonist as a child despite my asthma being worse then. Now I just can’t stand being outdoors.

    When it comes to Dehli, from what I’ve read, the problem is that the crackers tips it over. Post monsoons fog starts building up and it traps all the smoke creating deadly smog. It’s just bad timing.
