I get aggrevated by extremist anti-racists, anti-sexists, environmentalists, and -- you know, all these "popular causes". It's now what they do but how they do it.
This...this reminds me of something I meant to assign to Mordor a couple months ago.

One morning I woke up to a message that put me in a sour mood, because it was a "Here is how boys behave, and here is how Men should behave," with a conclusion that no "men" will do this, and therefor, we are all boys and suck. It was insane and if anyone is dying of curiosity for the full story, shoot me a message and I'll forward the story.

Anyway, what I'm assigning to Mordor is the expectation males need to be the "disney prince" by always being their knight-in-shining armor/rescue the pretty damsel in distress. It's asinine disney-movie plot for a reason, because it's not real and completely unhealthy. Guys are humans too, if you want a solid one, be a confident and self-dependent lady. Then you'll have no problems finding the guy who will always be there to support and love you for your decisions as an equal. Not one who has an unhealthy rescuer complex which sets up just a different form of a screwy possessive relationship.

*ahem* I'm good. I promise, just remembered this from a couple months ago.
