/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

I'm sorry, but are you saying feminine people cannot also do this? Or that it would make them masculine?
What would you say was a positive feminine trait?
All i can think of is the nurturing and protective instinct of mothers that society lionizes, but those apply to men too so i don't really see them as feminine.
It seems like you see the problem too. I hope you're able to give the above commenter a break, due to that.
All i did was ask a question, and you have shed no light on that at all. I don't know what problem you refer to or how your comments relate to what op said. Maybe I'm a moron.. I give up.
As did I. So, I'm not sure how you could have a problem with someone else doing the same. Yet here you are.
Either there are no inherently masculine and feminine virtues or the best we have are social constructs that fall short of what we want and picking at people for attempting to present a positive version of masculinity that isn't just fighting or dominating isn't helping anyone.
I answered your question and i did not accuse you of picking at me or ask you to give me a break. I am merely frustrated that my initial question has not been answered and you have been a bit cryptic.
So I'll ask it again in a different way: if i am a woman who is comfortable with themself and unconcerned with other peoples sexualities, does that make me manly? Is this a difficult question? Am i weird if my answer is no? Why is asking this question seen as an attack on positive masculinity?
Well, you answered while evading you own answer. I don't remember saying that you did any of those thing. Perhaps you could remind me of when I did?
What answer do you want there? What would make you be happy about what was said? You clearly have a problem here. So, why woman or man up and state it?
Can you quote where I said your question was an attack on positive masculinity? Its just that, without that, ita going to look like a terribly bad faith and desperate twisting of something that wasn't close to what was said.
Oh i get it, you're a troll. Im not going to post all the quotes lol, goodbye silly.
Nice try but all I did was play you at you own game, for which you called me a troll without a hint of irony or self awareness.
You won't quote them because that wasn't what was said and you can't defend the ridiculouly sunderstanded nonsense you came out with. So, you choose to run away instead.
You made yourself look like a clown right there. If that's not what you meant to do, you should do different things in the future.
