Men’s Self-Censorship and the Fall of Civilization

Today, men cripple themselves by obsessing over “what would a woman think?” This self-censorship, fueled by government, media, and cultural shifts, is unraveling society.

Why I Turned on American “2nders”
I coined that term and here’s why Chatbot Zon (my GPT-4o untrained bot) wrote a summary to this post, 1st person. Not a single word changed which is how it works with my Zon bitch. The vast majority of you “males” out there sit around and complain about AI. You find it “creepy,” like a…...
