My mom passed down that bit of wisdom on my wedding day when she saw me fidgeting with the thing.

Attempts to Apologize
Yes, I saw him doing so at that event. His âapologyâ was mealy-mouthed at best â Iâm sorry that what I said hurt people, and not You know, what I said was stupid, sexist, homophobic and just dead WRONG.
Also sucked that it ended with the rest of whatever movieâs cast that is saying We love Sam, heâs a great guy!! Instead of Yup, you done fucked up dude, and you should examine your perspective and beliefs so you donât blurt out any shit like that ever again.

Just like with the abortion issue, if these guys were truly concerned about dropping testosterone levels, we know how to remedy this. Thereâs a large body of scientific data tying environmental pollutants to lower testosterone levels, so beef up environmental regulations and then fund the enforcement of such. 
The bit was good, but I was hoping she would mention that.

My favourite paragraph:
âAmong the frequently asked questions on the conference website are: âCan my son come with me?â and âCan I gather a group of men at my house to watch the conference with me?â To this I say, men: If you have to go to the Stronger Menâs Conference website to ask whether you are allowed to have friends over at your home to watch it together, I am concerned that you have some emotional problems that canât be solved by monster trucks and pyrotechnics.â

I went to the website and thought, âoh no! We missed it!â But, phew, itâs next year. /s
Also, the answer to the FAQ your quote referenced is equally funny:
That is a great idea! We highly encourage men to gather in homes or churches to view the conference together! We do ask that each guy who is watching either have a registration or use one of your online guest passes.
Just imagining a bunch of insecure men hanging out at a church watching monster trucks and pyrotechnics is humorous and alarming.

We did indeed miss it for this year, but registration for 2023 is open. I thought about it, but I didnât feel right about clicking a button labelled SUBMIT.
Another great quote:
âYou see, masculinity is like a cat: If you chase it, it will run away. Curl up with a good book and chill the fuck out, and maybe it will eventually come rub up against your leg. Try it and get back to me.â

Yes! I love the cat quote 
I feel bad for boys brought up with this particular notion of masculinity. And all the women in their lives. 
And, I donât study this stuff, but it seems 80 to 90% of what they equate with masculinity is really about confidence. Real confidence, not just acting confident.

Details about the nature of the allegations are unclear, but I hear they included verbal outbursts and inappropriate behavior. Deadline has reached out to Savageâs reps for comment.

The author has some good points to make. But for fuckâs sake, everyone needs to stop using the shooterâs photo
Stop using his name. Stop using his photo. Particularly for op eds or articles that are not even specific to this mass shooter
