He is a real professor.

Guys we need to be less hateful and become more virtuous. This is what will make us better men.

[@zeppelin0110]

This was mostly a monologue, not a discussion. Galloway just rehashed his usual talking points.

[@contracthit9839]

He has become redundant and he has no credentials in the human behavioral sciences...

[@frequentlycynical642]

That's why he's a wanted guest. What he talks about.

"I'm only half-kidding (about lowering the drinking age)" -- he should get more assertive about this, with no kidding. MLDA21 has been a key contributor to the infantilization/coddling of young adults and led to an increase in alcohol-related fatality in higher ed. According to the NIH, there are over 1,500 fatalities per year among college/university students that involve alcohol. Surreptitious consumption habits and a fear-based chilling effect that delays calls to 911 are both key reasons for that and both are a direct result of MLDA21.

My father died when I was 10 years old. My mother done an amazing job in raising me, however I did pick up feminine mannerisms which have been really unhelpful. A lot of my friends thought I was gay ffs. I wish I'd have had a strong male role model growing up. It is important, and it should be respected.

[@painunending4610]

You were just weak. There is no such thing as a 'feminine mannerism'

[@painunending4610]

They keep talking about men in the protector/provider role while totally ignoring that most women can protect/provide for themselves. They wanna go back to 50s chivalrous benevolent sexism not realising it died for a reason

[@frequentlycynical642]

Ha ha ha ha ha! You whole life's comfort and safety revolves on men. Most public safety, your water and sewer, the production and maintaining your electricity,. If you have a car, who fixes it? How many 9/11 first responders were women? If men went on strike, in two days you would be shivering in the dark w/o your iphone working.

[@yashpatel261]

Dude what are you talking about ? There are dudes out there who are decent and chivalrous and not just to their woman but to everyone in general. I hate how many guys have become full of hate. We need to be better men.

[@painunending4610]

@@yashpatel261 People have different definitions of 'better'. Mine isn't this outdated 1950's tripe

[@painunending4610]

Galloway is basically just a redpiller who peppers in a bit of 'respect women' to his words to make them more palatable to a progressive audience His ideas are essentially to go back to the way things where, completely ignoring the different world we live in now. He's an old man on his way out, and that terrifies him

[@contracthit9839]

Plus he is coward who goes to safe zones where he won't be challenged..

[@frequentlycynical642]

You couldn't by more wrong. He only points out with, like, you know, data of how things were and how things are. He constantly talks of the many problems of the years past.

[@TK-gm2zr]

He’s not red pill. He’s purple pill at most. He identifies some legit issues but his solutions focus on building a better beta.
