It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The first step is teaching them to want something realistic, informed by what they feel deep down, and not dehumanizing so they can actually "wear it on their sleeve" when approaching a woman rather than feeling like it's a secret shame they have to insidiously spring on the woman at the moment her guard is down.

You are right But I believe talking to real women will help them have realistic expectations. Or real people in general The Internet is a very toxic place.

Yeah I think people retreat to the internet to halt their trial and error process of learning how to court and be told it's okay to keep halting
