Want to talk about bellends Balkans Falklands but will probably end up ranting about Thatcher.

I am having a bad time, though, which confirms my statement.
Also, what did you mean to say? Because to me it sounded like 'Censor your opinions on gender roles that apply to you or people will think you're a MRA, and we wouldn't want that, huh? Huh? Also, chicks don't dig you haha jk'.
I mean, if we weren't all such good friends here, my fee-fees might have been mildly hurt by your PROBLEMATIC ATTITUDE.
Oh poor baby. Everyone going on at you and all.
The fact that you attacked concerns about the way society views women, while bringing in problems with the way they view men, suggests you have rather more anger than opinion. Which is a problem? Either? Neither? Just the men's one? Gosh no, you'd never say that.
Your reaction to the girls dig suggests a leetle touchiness over the whole "women" area, tbh. Also, complete lack of self awareness over "brute and destructive" stuff.
But what did I mean to say? That you seem more like someone raging at the fact people brought gender up than someone who gives a damn about male stereotypes? With your whole "women everywhere or something," that's the impression I'm getting.
Anger and opinion do not have to be mutually exclusive. I do not need to get a zero on the care-o-meter to present an opinion.
Both are indeed the problem, but the 'wimmin swearwords prove that muh patriarchy' argument hinges on ignoring one side of it, which I brought up. Now, you could make an argument that swearwords reflect gender preconceptions for both genders to a certain extent, and I would totally agree, but that was not the argument being made.
The girls dig was just a little childish, honestly, considering we don't even know each other. I'm not sure you need to get into your psychologist armchair over it. I am also not sure where that suggests a lack of self-awareness on my part either. Is the point you're trying to make that if I do not wish to be seen as brutish, I can't be mildly abrasive over lame jokes?
I'm not sure what to say about the whole 'you don't really give a damn about male stereotypes' bit. Errr... you're wrong? Will that do?
...I'm not sure this argument will progress anywhere nice. Willing to drop it if you are, or we can just take it to PMs (though honestly, I'd rather just drop it).
