I think a lot of men have to stop trying to live up to some other guys definition of masculinity.

I thought season 3 was really good, very tight on the characters constantly shifting motivations, fun bits. 4 was rough, not really a fan of how casually they keep sexually assaulting Hughie and play it for laughs.

Feminism allowed women to become fulfilled all on their own, taking on those "typically masculine" traits of making money, doing tougher work around the house, creating stability, etc. while also maintaining the ability to have the more feminine traits like emotional support through friendships, self-care, etc. Men haven't been socially afforded the same expansion, mostly held back by other men. Like God forbid a guy have a skin care routine, or decorate his home all on his own, that's gay!

Women don't have the same issue because it's socially acceptable for them to have deep emotional connections with their friends, where as men are mocked for being gay if they open up to their buddies about any kind of difficult emotion.

then there should be a large enough pool with things in common to avoid loneliness. If this specifically means sexual/relationship loneliness than, yeah.

Your last statement is correct. Most men aren't socialized to have deep emotional relationships with their male friends, so they have to rely on a romantic relationship to do all their emotional support (if they even do that, there's some that are also so convinced the women will hate them if they get emotional). Women haven't felt as much of the pain of the loss of 3rd spaces for socialization because it's socially acceptable for them to have emotional relationships with their friends.

I'm also dubious on how the number is arrived at.

It's not even that they'd get trashed in 4 years, it's just that in 4 years we'd get someone who would actually enforce our labor laws, and they don't want to have to pay for their employees.

All I've learned is that small businesses and investors do actually try to make stuff in the US, but they literally can't find manufacturers and the large companies that could build their own factories are able to get exemptions from the tariffs.

He's one of those very very few people who would make every single person's life better if he died. Like, even in the case of JD Vance, you could say his kids need him around or his mom, they wouldn't be better off. But Elon? Even his kids would be better off.
