Our side needs to attack "bro culture" [View all]

No more of this tiptoeing around issues in fear it may offend someone. We need to relentlessly attack and demonized "bro culture" as the toxic hateful and misogynistic ideology it is. Start with Portnoy, Rogan, and Tate. Unfortunately today it requires us to get into the mud pit with the otherside and fight on their level.
