What really kills me about that scene from She-Hulk

Yesterday I posted this clip from She-Hulk:

 

Today, I saw this person defending it.

 

What really gets to me is just how tone deaf this is to what reality is actually like.

Modern society and pop culture doesn’t acknowledge just how in control Western men are of their anger or the state of provocation there is for men.

Look around the world outside of Western culture nations and see just how much violence there is.  Honor killings, rape, murder, settling scores, it’s rampant.  Look at cultures were families feud with lethal force over minor insults.  Where men throw acid in people’s faces over slights to their honor.

That doesn’t exist in mainstream Western society.  And where it does exist in Western nations, it does on the fringes in subcultures bereft of Western values.

If Western men were as not in control of their anger as they were, parking lot attendants and coworkers who microwave fish in the break room would have a 100% fatality rate.

Western dignity culture is the most peaceful society every evolved, and we sound celebtate  that.  The people who wrote that line live in a world where they assume the natural state of man is a peaceful eden and not nasty, brutish, and short.

These sort of speech is the zenith of unacknowledged privilege.

She’s a lawyer who goes to work in the safety and comfort of a metropolitan city.

She doesn’t have to worry about freezing in winter or starving because there is a drought.  She lives in comfort because hard men built the city, farm the fields, drill for oil, mine for coal, and make a comfortable life doing paperwork possible.

But society never acknowledges the effort of those men or thanks them for what they did.

It’s always “men are trash” from people who can keep the temperature in their home at their desired level by turning a knob, turning on a light by the flip of a switch, and get clean water out of a tap, made possible by jobs that are 90% percent men.

As for the relationship between the sexes, I’m sorry that some rando on the street cat called She-Hulk.  That sucks.

But pop culture never acknowledges the state of what it’s like for men.

In a move or TV show, the guy who says “I don’t date fatties” is ALWAYS the asshole.  It was an actual arc in Sex and the City where a girl says (paraphrasing) “he’s a great guy, I love him, but his dick is too small so I broke up with him.”  And her friends were all “you go girl, know what makes you happy.”

The first half of Big Bang Theory was a bunch if scientists and engineers with successful careers in academia and research being constantly told they were unworthy of love because they were short and nerdy.

Pop culture accepts the harsh abuse of men at the hands of women that cuts to a man’s core and stri0s him if his dignity.

We’re coming up on 40 years of sitcoms where hubby/dad is an absolute, bumbling, incapable moron.

This degeneration of men in the pop culture is an extension of the degeneration of men in broader society.

I read an article about how the economy gone has from manufacturing and production to HR and people management. HR and management salaries are higher than technical, both individually and overall. Companies spend more on make work bullshit than people who actually do stuff.

Those make work soft jobs are more frequently jobs for women or beta males. The traditionally manly men are being made obsolete. What’s worse is the make work jobs are an impediment to actual work, e.g. making guys drilling for oil go through DE&I training.

We’ve actually taken the male energy that once built this country and stuck it on the back burner and called it obsolete, and then we wonder why men have such a problem when they have no outlet for their energy.

100 years ago: “You’re gonna build the NYC skyline out of iron, throwing red hot rivets at each other, 1000 feet up, with no safety gear.”

60 years ago: “You’re going to build the arsenal of democracy, the highest quality of life the middle-class has ever seen, and hold communism at bay.”

Today: “You’re gonna watch this PowerPoint by some obese feminist about how toxic you are, then have HR and Compliance micromanage your shit to death.”

It is no wonder why the two leading causes of death for men under 50 is overdose and suicide. Men are failing out of society that for decades has told them they are worthless, an economy that has made them obsolete, and a pop culture that insults them constantly.

But She-Hulk is the master at controlling her anger, because, as a high dollar attorney, when she asks her car service to stop at the bodega, between driving her from her corner office to her luxury condo, some guy tells her she’d look nicer if she smiled, because she’s an oppressed woman.

*Nods approvingly and begins slow clap*

Mom chops off boyfriend’s penis after he tried to rape her daughter: report

A mother in India allegedly sliced off her boyfriend’s penis on Wednesday after he tried to rape her 14-year-old daughter.

“I have no regrets for what I did,” the 36-year-old unnamed mom told the Times of India.

“I was working in the farm when the incident took place. Fortunately, I returned home in the nick of time and caught him red-handed,” she said, explaining the series of events that led to the incident.

“He even attacked me while I was trying to save my daughter, so I brought a knife from the kitchen and chopped off his private parts to teach him a lesson.”

Problem solved.  Problem staying solved.

More on the critical punch from Yesterday

This is a follow-up to my post from yesterday about a man put in critical condition from a sucker punch.

NYC thug, 55, who put on gloves to knock out diner in unprovoked attack is FREED after being arrested for attempted murder as DA charges him with misdemeanor : Left victim in a coma with fractured skull three years after leaving prison for rape

A New York City sex offender who was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after punching a diner, fracturing his skull and causing a brain bleed, has been allowed to walk free after the Bronx DA charged him with a misdemeanor.

Bui Van Phu, 55, a registered sex offender who has spent six years in prison with lifetime parole, left Bronx Criminal Court on supervised release without bail Thursday afternoon after appearing before Judge Giyang An.

Court records obtained by DailyMail.com indicate Phu’s charges are now third-degree assault and second-degree harassment. The basis of the charges is because Phu ‘intentionally (caused) physical injury and with intent to harass, annoy or alarm another person.’

Phu was convicted for attempted robbery in 1991 and is a registered sex offender – who was out on parole after being convicted of raping a 17-year-old girl at gunpoint on December 24, 1994. He was released from prison in March 2019.

Let’s recap. Phu is a convicted rapist, he was out on parole when he punched a man into a coma by fracturing his skull unprovoked, then when he was arrested, he was released with a misdemeanor charge.

New York City is a hellhole where the law is not enforced.

They are all but begging Mr. Phu to kill someone else.

The police and prosecutors are useless and you are not allowed to defend yourself.

Mr. Phu is a walking, punching justification for CCW in NYC, but clearly the city prefers violent criminals to citizens.

They will have more of this.

To borrow something Miguel said, in NYC EDC us going to have to include a helmet.

You are responsible for every bullet, cops are not

Question: How could a police department be worse than the Broward County Sheriff’s Department or the Uvalde School Police?

Those cowardly fucks stood around and did nothing while children died.

What could be worse than that?

How about a bunch of cops opening fire on a guy who was surrendering on a crowded street full of innocent bystanders and hitting six of them?

 

Six bystanders.

You and I as CCW holders are responsible for every bullet we send down range.

You and I don’t have qualified immunity, they do.

 

Who wants to bet?

 

I have cash money that says there is video of at least one FBI against fondling Melania’s underwear.

They were in there for almost 10 hours while Trump’s attorneys were kept outside, I can’t believe that those agents were professional that entire time.

Peeking in his fridge, helping themselves to his luxuries, looking for things that weren’t on the warrant like private documents.

I want to see tye video.

One punch kill and one punch critical

First, in Arizona:

Wendy’s employee charged with murder after customer he sucker-punched dies from injuries

A Wendy’s employee has been charged with second-degree murder after an elderly customer he sucker-punched last month died in the hospital from his injuries, according to reports.

Antoine Kendrick, 35, had just taken the 67-year-old man’s order at the register on July 26 at a restaurant in Prescott Valley, Arizona when police said the customer complained about his food.

The blow knocked the customer to the ground and he hit his head on the floor, forcing him to lose consciousness.

Here is video of the fatal punch:

 

Next we turn to Hell New York City:

If we do a forensic analysis of both attacks, we see a common trend.

The victim is sucker-punched, so is unprepared to take the hit.

The punch renders the victim unconscious.

The victim topples over so that they strike the ground head first with nothing to break their fall.

The victim’s head triking the pavement or concrete floor from five to six feet up causes a skull fracture, the brain to swell and bleed, and the person do go into critical condition and die.

If the victim in NYC survives, he will have permanent problems.

There are lessons to be learned here.

First, be aware of your surroundings, watch hands, don’t let people angry with you inside of sucker punch distance.  Retreat, make distance between you and the bad guy.

Second, learn how to take a punch.  You’re probably not a black belt or MMA fighter.  You’re not going to get into a street fight.  Just learn to protect your head.  Your goal is not not lose consciousness and hit your head on the ground

 

 

Eventually, one of these assholes will get shot for trying to suck punch someone, at which point we will have to establish in court just how deadly a sucker punch is and how armed defense against a grown man with fists is justified.

But most importantly, do your best to not get punched.
