I thought a lot of the manifesto was very Alt-Rightish bullpoop, but he did hit on a variety of topics that had some merit. Still, I think the premise of it is incomplete and very first level.
Yeah that's a pretty level headed take in my estimation. Some very rational counter arguments explaining how differences can be exasperated due to experience.
"I'm not a neuroscientist, but from a lay perspective, my take is that yes, there are some biological differences between the average male and female brain, but that these pale beside a) the way our brain architecture is shaped by stimuli (like years of being told you're rubbish at maths) and b) the overall effect of culture (eg companies which value presenteeism, or make it hard for women to return after having children, or cover up for senior men who are repeated sexual harassers etc etc). "
And the supposed ability for Men to withstand more stressful environments:
"The last point about neuroticism is bleakly funny, because while women might report more anxiety, men commit suicide in far greater numbers. Which gender is really more susceptible to stress and anxiety? Women talking more about their mental health on "Googlegeist" is being held against them here, when possibly one of the reasons that more men kill themselves is because of the stigma of talking about their feelings."

I spent about 2 years of my life trying to enjoy it, can't do it. I golf twice a year now: rec hockey team season end tourney and my family tourney. Both are best ball and more about the booze, how i like it.

i've played once. i can hit the ball a mile and straight AF. after that someone needs to say "here use this club and hit it however hard" until i'm on the green where i will proceed to putt 6 times.

who plays with boring people? I mean aside from whichever poor souls get stuck with dopps. - Gramps28
i highly doubt he acts anything like he does here when he's around actual people. unless he's somehow found other like-minded people. like from a kkk meeting or something.
i'm sure he's still a horrific drip but there's no way he acts like this in public. the reason you do stuff like that on the internet is because you can't get away with it in real life.
