One that comes to mind for me: “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

    -Said the abuser. When Grabbing towels and pinching penises in the boys locker room shit gets defended as ‘rough housing’ you sick fuck.

    Especially considering the era in which ‘rough housing’ was coined. Layers of old, stale toxicity there, gramps.

      You’ve proven my initial comment. The term is misused and then people like yourself come along and perpetuate it’s misuse.

      Going from mucking around to abuse like there’s not a hundred other perspectives and factors at play.

        Right because misusing a fucking pathetic phrase that seems to be your hill to die on is the real take away here. Not the rampant toxic masculinity getting slipped under the radar.

        You. You and your fucked up syntax fucking thinking like this are the problem with everything that’s gone wrong with the big picture items. You don’t give a shit about anyone but your little pet peeves. You just proved that you bring nothing to any table ever and do not ever intend to you impotent little narcissist.
