   Even if i didn't think it was BS, I'm not being lectured on 'masculinity' by a sentient toilet brush that got rich by inventing online stalking

     @Garwboy I got worn out on the mere idea of "masculine/feminine energy" almost 30 years ago when it was a dominant trope in Pagan circles. The concept is so intellectually lazy. Just say the qualities you're after. Stop smothering them in your tired "Men Are From Mars Women Are From Venus" horseshit.

     I heartily disagree with you. Until you can prove sentience, I remain deeply skeptical. Sentience is usually accompanied by empathy, and I see little evidence of that here.

     He has a point, regulators need to MAN UP and tell the likes of Zukerberg, Musk this immature toxic masculinity, racism, homo/transphobia,... (too much to list) has no place in civilised society and certainy has no place on the internet, and there are enough people to stand up to him and ultimatly CANCEL him.

     As far as I understand it, the term 'Man Up', means you need to stand up and be heard and be assertive, so it applies across genders. I am not too sure what the more modern term is, but replace with that.

     Maybe I can leave with a quote from the hacker menifesto, from 1988

     " Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like.
     My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me
     for.
     "

     @roadriverrail @Garwboy
     the only "men are from mars, women are from Venus" that I'll accept is "if women are from Venus and men are from mars, that implies at least 6 other local genders and a likely infinite number of exogenders"
