So I agree with this post but I feel like it's important with any generalizations like this to be exact and accurate. Cis men absolutely do face some prejudice because of their gender. Cis male sexual assault victims being downplayed is probably the biggest example. The way to fix those edge cases is to get rid of the patriarchal way our society works and feminism is the answer there, not some shitty men's rights insanity, but I do think saying that no cis men ever experience discrimination or prejudice based on gender is ignoring that the patriarchy is the cause of problems for men too. It's easy to get into a mindset that cis men are the enemy if we treat them as only ever benefiting from the patriarchy, instead of also being victimized by it. Again the way to fix this isn't MRA, and anyone who tries to compare cis men's struggles in gender to those other groups is wrong, but I feel it's important to remember that in this war the enemy is the system itself, not the people in the system.

men's rights activists are unnecessary, reactionary, and misogynistic because cis men are never marginalized on the basis of their gender identity. some cis men are marginalized on the basis of their race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, ability, class, etc. but no cis man is oppressed on the basis of being a cis man. every single woman is marginalized on the basis of their gender, so feminism that focuses on women's rights is necessary! some women are more marginalized than others based on agab, race, sexuality, ability, etc. but even the most privileged white cishet abled perisex woman is still marginalized on the basis of her gender.

every single trans man is marginalized on the basis of his gender identity. trans men are oppressed for being transgender; and we can't be transgender without being men, we can't be men without being transgender. there is not a single trans man in the world that does not face a degree of prejudice for being a trans man. this is why you can't correlate trans men who are advocating for their own rights with MRAs, because you are willfully ignorant that cis men are not oppressed on the basis of their gender but every single trans man is oppressed on the basis of his gender. we aren't cis men who are whining about not getting dates or women being mean to us. trans men are an actively marginalized group that faces violent oppression, prejudice and abuse on every level of society, from individual to legislative.

if you feel it's appropriate to downplay that so you can call us TMRAs or otherwise compare our struggles with misogynistic anti-feminists because we also men...idk what to say to you! you suck!

I found this cooking book from the 80's at an antique shop and it has a recipe for a whole camel, boiled and stuffed with whole boiled lamb and whole boiled chicken.

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
