Then it would make such membership meaningless and will only undermine collective action within NATO?

Who needs beef anyway

It's not essential, eat pork and poultry instead - it's cheaper and much better for the environment.

Man pages in Linux are commonly meant for people already familiar with command structures, specific terms etc.

They are often borderline useless for an inexperienced user.

To be fair, we only recently actually saw a black hole, and before that, it was just assumed to exist by its gravitational effects.

Thanks!

Sad to see all this effort has to be put into making sanctions and then into evading them.

Oh, many men are jealous when women they like hang out a lot with other women and enjoy their time. Modern culture made it look like women may form a special form of deep connection men can never reach, while simultaneously making men feel isolated overall, and some are driven quite crazy over it.

As such, when they get the attention they crave, they don't feel they can secure it. Thereby, mentioning other women and what they mean to you feels like a threat. This takes a while to unlearn, and is one kind of trauma many men get to experience.

I do not have many personal insights about how men want their friends/partners to be manly, but I may suggest it may come from the same point. Male friendships nowadays are fairly rare, and some folks really just want a bro to hang out with.

A bit of insights:

They get all weird because they see getting your attention as a sort of investment. They take time, effort, dedicate themselves to figuring out how to best build contact with you, and when it doesn't work out, it naturally leads to frustration. From there, they either close down (minimize losses), or get weird (frantically trying to make it work).

As per hugs and cuddles, masculine culture heavily disincentivizes tender emotions, and they can be seen as a reason for ridicule. Being burnt heavily on that, many men prefer to be very careful about communicating such needs.

Any TL;DR on this? Nvidia secretly ships sanctioned GPUs to China?

Yes, as in "women deserve equal rights across the board"

No, as in "feminism is the synonym to and only valid kind of antisexism and every gendered issue should be seen exclusively through women's struggle"

I'm here for the equality of men and women, and believe that only in cooperation, through consideration of issues on each side, we can efficiently combat sexism.

Feminism should not be "us vs them". It should be one part of the larger circle that is looking at how we can improve things for everyone - women, men, and nonbinary people.

We should bridge the gap on all sides, so that whatever gender you are, you have equal possibilities in life, career, and everything else, you are safe and can build your life the way you want.

That means no one should be targeted by sexual harassment and exploitation. No one should be denied jobs or have lower salary based on arbitrary characteristics. No one should be forced to choose a binary gender if they're neither. Kids should not be indoctrinated with traditional gender roles. Etc. etc.

And, honestly, I don't think many will disagree here. Many of those who "do not support feminism" don't mean they go against equality - they are rather concerned about a specific form of particularly loud online feminism pretending men are all evil and that there's no related struggle on men's end.
