Hi

[@RND_ADV_X]

Lol funny video... Somewhat related: (?) I found out from a doctor when I was 11yo that I wasn't born xy male or xx female. So I was offered the chance to take hormones to be which one I wanted to be. I tried being male, and it felt like being a slave to females, and I didn't like the way my body felt. I liked being female, because it felt like my body was finally running correctly. But I felt really guilty about males being enslaved to me... So about 8 years ago I stopped taking any hormones. Since I stopped taking estrogen, the world stopped trying to fulfill my dreams, and started treating me like I was damned, unless I am willing to serve a female... Which I am not willing, because I have documented enough about gender that I'm CERTAIN that the process in the ecosystem that is gendering people... ...is supposed to be a plant behavior. And that it's occurring in u.v. Yes, the same u.v. that protects dark skinned people. Medical science KNOWS that u.v. triggers menstruation, menopause, and melatonin that creates testosterone. Noticing all of this didn't make me RACIST. Its just science. But why would dark skin BE influencing plant gender, and WHY would it be on people? Because desert cultures dominated plant communication and located the rewarded and served "flower" gender in females because having the most REWARDED group in your race... makes you unstoppable in evolution and survival. That left the male group that is driven to serve and fertilize females... To be located on young men. A sexist animal race like that is unstoppable, but they also cause deserts because they are taking importance over PLANTS in the materials that are supposed to grow food and make oxygen. So it's ultimately a suicidal step to take. I don't have to HATE BLACK PEOPLE to be aware of ANY of this. But That's why I am certain that sex based gender is best as a plant behavior. To solve it, you simply have to be certain that: * plants are more important than people *. That puts gender back where it belongs. Serving plants doesn't require me to be a racist or hate anyone.

[@robitherat8182]

So, what I've learned from this comment section is: It doesn't matter if your a gay guy, a lesbian, a straight man or woman, or twelve badgers in a bright pink trench coat, because not a single one of us knows how to speak to men.

[@chipwalter4490]

i am at a loss on this whole thread.What is it everybody is wanting from these men? Being bisexual and "masculine" acting..tho not into typical jock/bbq/car stuff..I'm Soooooooo confused by the confusion. Honestly. To me, and I could be way out in left field here, it seems like the singer of this song has some kind of sexual intimidation around these guys...? With most men if you're interest in them is sexual-based, and you'r able to be slyly funny, you could just go right into talking about sex, in a round about way. Real queens & pervy bi-gys have figured this out , in their own-ways, for all eternity. Now regarding all these other commenters..the Lesbians, hetero shy girls, all the rest of it..if you're afraid of talking to someone it has to be because there is something you want from them. That you're fearing you will not get from them if you do not talk to them in "the correct way". ..You need to figure out what "that" is. I get it that people have to deal with other people at work, family social functions, wether they want to or not. But if you don't want anything (sexual, as seams to be the case for a few related jitters) then why care what they think of you? Most of these guys are very boring people. Yes they might be good for sex, but if that's not your interest- why even bother with them. WHAT AM I MISSING???

[@NasikaSakura]

@@chipwalter4490 By chance, do you live in America? Because here, if you are male and try to talk to a male and you unintentionally out yourself as homosexual to this stranger, there's a very real fear of the reaction to this because of the stigma attached, and toxic masculinity means that violence can be an appropriate rebuff from this stranger to demonstrate his masculinity and straightness. Things get even more complicated when you do want to get to know someone that you are attracted to. If that sounds ridiculous to you, I can assure you I have the unfortunate experience of knowing "men" like this, and not by choice.

[@user-pz4um9hi1j]

👁👄👁 How informational.

[@LordZeebee]

@@chipwalter4490 Ye like Nasika said most people are just afraid of talking to men because they don't want to get hate-crimed. What they "want from them" is to not have violence enacted upon themselves. Then there's also the fact that the patriarchy forces most men into the same incredibly restrictive role of what it means to be a man, socially disallowing nearly all forms of self expression and stunting emotional growth, which makes for pretty boring conversations.

[@user-ef4gf7rr9r]

This, perhaps counterintuitively, is because men don't want to be talked to.

Almost any man has something to say about Lord of the Rings if they are under 40 in my experience and that usually opens the door to talk more broadly about books and from the topic of books maybe you can go into the topic of adaptations so you can talk about movies/ video games talking about movies opens up the door to talk about your favourite movies / actors and if you talk about video games you can talk about your favourite ones or you could talk about old video games which opens the door for a conversation about nostalgia. men are easy to understand just find out about one thing they like and open up the door for a conversation.

literally wheeze until it hurts every time i watch this. i'm a trans woman and this was just every day of my life age zero to nineteen. (nowadays, the last time i remember talking to a straight guy i wasn't already friends with was being hit on at a gas station and warding him off by talking about homestuck)

[@moofbat]

a true hero... this made me laugh so hard i started coughing skfbskfbdkfj

[@altrockqueen12]

You're fucking iconic, what a fantastic method

[@PandaMoniumReviews]

[@vanadiumoxid3902]

This has the same energy as that "I can talk to girls, I can do it, yes I can" tiktok, just for mlm

[@eenzamevriend7183]

Your choreography makes my soul smile

[@marialazarova5373]

I related weirdly, I'm a new mom and I'm afraid to talk to other moms. They always seem to be smiling a little bit too much

[@itsrainingmelons6202]

I love how people on every point of the gender spectrum relate to this

[@snuffcassette7555]

[@snuffcassette7555]

@Sharpy bro tf is that, can u respect the real flags that were made for the lgbt community instead of making shit like this up, this is why no one takes you seriously

When he said "gay poodle" my finger hit the like button by itself. Did my soul really just left my body just to hit the like button? Idk. Lots of love, Chris. You are The One.

[@heddelinpralin1481]

I sang this very loudly on my way home from work one night. It was very dark and I was walking through a park so I didn’t see the group of dudes hanging around until I was right next to them. I made eye contact with one of them, stopped singing, panicked and ran.

[@QuadAntic]

even just 15 seconds in I knew this video was going to be a blessing

[@lionturtleisland6972]

[@hannahbrooks3566]

"Only the nice ones talk about birds" *Is that an Aristotle and Dante reference I smell?*

[@Axqu7227]

My fiancé is 6’3”, 260lbs, in a straight-appearing relationship, with a giant Viking beard, and interests that include both football and Warhammer. And he finds this song incredibly relatable.

[@katherinedobbs52]

"Is that even legal?" in that Exact cadence has become a regular part of my vocabulary and its all Chris' fault

[@TheAlixour]
