| I don't think a situation like this requires more gadgets, just a change of doctrine. I do, as a practical matter cops are limited in their ability to back down the way that a private citizen would normally be expected to. Changes to doctrine really only go so far, at some point, people who are wie... |

| Clearly the goal shouldn't be to kill the suspect, that's really never an optimal outcome, even if it is sometimes unavoidable. I've seen enough cases over the years being covered where more information led to different conclusions. It's a shame that tasers and pepper spray aren't as reliable as pe... |

I don't agree. And what if it had been a more serious threat with somebody intending to murder people? |

| It is not feminism as a whole that is the problem it is the woke elements in feminism. That element that says that all men are privileged and men are natural rapists and that men who are not sexually abusing women are hiding who they naturally are. . No such thing as woke feminism AS...feminism has... |

| That's an explanation but not really an excuse. More specifics and probably body cam footage will likely come out. The unfortunate reality is that knives are a lot more dangerous than people realize and tasers or pepper spray are less reliable than people think. I'm not personally familiar enough y... |

| I know that it's an unpopular position, but right now the MRAs are the only people that actually care about equality of the sexes. And that applies even in situations where men wouldn't benefit. Whether or not it's a popular position, it's a baseless and completely unsubstantiated claim that's only... |

| Most of the men that believe in equality are MRAs at this point. They care so deeply about equality they'd happily roll things back to when they were even less equal. :roll: That's what the feminists say. Meanwhile. what have feminists done to address disparities where women are the beneficiaries o... |

| Tate is filling a void that the left has vacated. From the videos I've seen of him, he is a thoroughly disgusting individual, but since the left has largely abandoned young men and failed to provide a counter-narrative about how men can be themselves in a way that's constructive, you get people att... |

| Tate is filling a void that the left has vacated. I'm not convinced. All this stuff about "we men can't get anywhere because society is mean to us" sounds like exactly the same kind of self-victimisng that guys like him used to accuse feminists of doing. It's certainly exaggerated, but I ... |

| That's a lot of it. I also think that part of it is that by the time enough daylight shows between the possibilities, it can get rather risky to stick out by refusing to unconditionally bad both sides. Tate has definitely hit a chord. Young men are going to get frustrated as they develop their sens... |

| ^^^ there is the matter of parity in professional female sports but I think the solution should be to take this on a case by case basis rather than blanket rules. As with many MAGA "issues" it's blown out of proportion for ulterior motives. It's worth noting that in a lot of cases there a... |

| It is a shame that we have abdicated this topic to the "wokes" and the Tate's of this world. We humans tend to think in binaries so we throw people into one camp or another. Naturally young men are drawn into manosphere if they are not made to feel welcome in "wokeland" and thei... |

| The articles are being written by women because men can't get away with saying it and are being socially conditioned to not realize just how screwed over we are by society. It's probably a similar reason to why women weren't speaking out in any significant numbers about their views on their place in... |
