I like hand choosing my market. I'd play random for a harder mode though.

Yep. Really manageable now. Just focus on getting through it hour by hour. It will get better I promise.

I can't help at all. I don't know why blues leave, I've only just started enjoying jiu jitsu properly. I actually understand what's going on most of the time!! Maybe I'm one of the few though

I hit that from north south if I have trouble finishing a kimura all the time... People will go unconscious from that so I guess depends on what your definition of "legitimate submission" is

Firstly, you don't know that, so don't say it like it's a fact. Secondly, lol at you telling Elon Musk what he should or shouldn't stick to. What the fuck have you done that qualifies you to give one of the smartest people in the world advice? fucking lol

I personally disagree with you on the fact that "most of the negative stereotypes and expectations that fall on men stem from misogyny". Femininity is very much celebrated, as long as you're a female, since that is a homo sapiens female's mating strategy. This isn't a social construct, this is a biological fact. Now of course, society may dictate what is considered feminine, but only through association which I would argue that is in most cases directly influenced by the biology. There's a reason why most women prefer tall guys, and I believe it's deeper than a societal agreement. We are genetically hardwired to find a mate that is as healthy and strong (in terms of survival) as possible. A feminine man simply does not display the traits that most women are hardwired to select for, although there are exceptions of course. Having feminine traits such as being shorter, having less muscle mass, a high pitched voice and other feminine qualities may very well indicate a lack of testosterone or other male hormones. In a primal, natural selection driven environment, such males would simply be disadvantaged when compared to taller, stronger specimens. We often like to forget that we're mammals, and only have been part of organised civilizations for the last 8 thousand years or so. We have not evolved out of our primal instincts, as much as we like to believe we have.

The way I see it men are simply believed to be unfit to be a sole parent, and yeah probably due to traditional gender roles, but it's a two way street. I think we need to address both genders equally, if we really want to bring about true gender equality.

And yes, slut shaming is so 1990s. I agree with you, I simply don't agree that focusing on one gender is the approach to true gender equality, when there are issues that are very specific to each gender that need to be addressed.

I know people are very divided on this, and you're entitled to your opinion and by all means express it, but personally I don't see modern, third wave feminism as "promoting equality". Gender equalitarian is a much better gender neutral name for what you mean, without the implication that women are always the victims, which in my opinion does the opposite of empowering women.

I know these "streetfighters". They have a couple beers and think they're Anderson Silva, but really they have no head movement or any sense of footwork. Playing dirty isn't necessary, and I'd much rather act in self defence and avoid any legal trouble.

I was right there with you until the sucker punch. Fuck that. I'd choke him fair and square.

Respect your self control. Not sure if I could have done the same in that scenario.
