dude, take some communications classes, maybe join toastmasters, get your point across more clearly

I am a communciations trainer and former journalist and I can assure you there is no technique/skill of clarity that can protect you from attacks from those with zero ethics who want only to destroy your reputation. These people are unconscionable.

just offering advice, it always sounds like someone has got his nuts in a deathgrip, maybe he's just lacking confidence

Fair call hamburger guy! Well, Jordan, u could smile and laugh more. But that’s a superficial behavioural piece of advice. Then again, I have been breaking my back trying to stand up straight for a month now so it’s a fair ask!

Sorry dude, you said it. And worse yet, you imply that the only way you can resolve disagreements (where you decide the other person is ‘crazy’) is by getting physical. That’s just great.

Evidence?

There’s a link to the video down thread

The respect part doesn’t matter much to me. What matters is JP seems to be totally cool with men not evolving basic listening/debating skills either with each other or with women. Just punch em at some point, right? Plants have evolved to have better communication skills

No, what he said is heated verbal fights between men always have the potential to become violent, which influences the dynamics of everything that leads up to that, but that is not the case for a man arguing with a woman, which then changes the aggression dynamic significantly

Um yeah well maybe men should work on that?? I am so sick of the ‘caveman’ narrative suggesting that men cannot/have never evolved. Maybe don’t turn to violence, men. The planet has changed it’s entire climate more than men have evolved.

Actually, women are twice as likely to initiate violence against men.

Wow. This article is so full of self-caricature it borders on unintentional satire. The reason why conspiracy theorists have a market is because the US journalists fail to clearly distinguish between unbiased reporting and opinion pieces.

Well to be fair they usually do say "opinion" somewhere on them, as this does. The problem certainly lies in that being more of what the source links to over just reporting of facts. Much like deceptive advertising, they know opinions are feeding. Maybe a more formal disclaimer?

I agree @Midnite_Mikey, this is clearly an opinion piece and is fine as such. What I am lamenting is that it does not seem as if there is anything else except opinion pieces in US journalism.

I'm think the "plan" is to reinforce online behaviour, I.e. Clickbait. We are used to clicking and exploring online so we're open to things. My local paper still follows traditional formats, likely due to necessity since Print journalism can't hyperlink to eight other smear hits

What kind of surprises me is that local papers haven't went for subscriptions based on this observation. Flat out tell consumers online is predatory. I suppose that would not fall in the line of traditional marketing
