    According to the guide, if a man shows hatred for "Barbie" and slams female directors after they leave the theatre, then this man is "stingy" and a "toxic chauvinist," according to Insider's translation of the post. Conversely, if a man understands even half of the movie's themes, "then he is likely a normal guy with normal values and stable emotions," the user wrote.

    I haven't seen the movie yet, but hard agree. It's easy to tell how a man truly is deep down based on their reaction towards things like this.

    This doesn't mean they aren't allowed to not like the movie as a film, but as long as they agree with the general narrative of it.

    The part that really got me was Sansa. I had to stand up at one point and ace around, I was so annoyed with how her character changed.

    I've moderated online communities for years now, probably close to 8 years. A lot of those communities had standards for certain discussions and opinions. We removed posts or comments if they were not meeting the expectations of our community guidelines, some things just should not stay up and be discussed.

    Granted, I have no idea what the original post was about, but if what you are saying is true; that the OP wasn't wanting to be educated on the said topic but to preach, then it doesn't belong here. It's just bad faith and I'm in complete agreement with this approach.

    Coral Island. I needed a break from Diablo 4 and wanted something I could just chill with. Everyone compared it to Stardew Valley, a game that I somehow could just not get into. With CI, it's clear how much the love and effort have gone into the game and I'm enjoying it.

    I consistently see fellow women having sexist views and are not being called out on. Or inserting their own opinions on what other women or doing.

    Example 1: I was in one of those, "Are we dating the same Guy?" Groups and I had to leave. Women constantly saying that we should always let men pay, let's not get into our masculine energy, and that it is their job.

    Example 2: An edit of a show online and a woman commented on how poorly the woman was aging. Is this nice? Is this appropriate? Why does it matter? What do you get out of making that opinion known?

    Example 3: I've had two women in my life make the following comments about other women:
    -They shamed a friend for calling their fiance their partner. Said they would be offended if they got promoted to fiance and were being called partner. Why the fuck does it matter? It's not your relationship.
    -They expressed a friend was not practicing self-preservation by having a one night stand. Again, who the fuck cares? Let them do what they want.

    It is just really frustrating as a woman hear so many women in my life and online preach feminism and see them not practice it themselves. Let's leave judgement of others behind us.

    I'm a woman and I regularly browsed r/MensLib just as my boyfriend browsed r/TwoXChromosomes.

    I don't comment in that space, it isn't for me to contribute. But, I did find it helpful to see how men relate to each other in these spaces. I can see prospectives that I didn't understand or see before, just as my boyfriend experiences with r/TwoXChromosomes. Hell, only commenting here to express that these spaces are needed from both sides.

    Then in my late teens the internet took over, then the shift to highly addictive, dopamine-spiking social media really nailed that coffin.

    You really put into perspective how I feel reading right now. I see so many people diving into these amazing worlds and I just struggle to grasp it nowadays. I bought an ereader and also bought a few different books I thought I would enjoy, but man...I can't.

    At this point, I might just start off with trashy romance novels and go from there. Put the training wheels back on for now for my attention span.

    I've been feeling sad with how little I've been able to read lately. I see so many people online having goals for how many books they will read a week/month and I cannot keep my attention on a book for long. I went from reading Tolkien's "dry", but beautiful, narration for multiple hours when I was younger to this. I feel like an iPad kid lol.

    Honestly, I don't mind good food smelling my fridge.

    I keep seeing couscous used more and more with greens and I'm tempted to try it. So far I've just been using it without a protein. Tomato and parsley sounds like a good start.
