I don't think prejudice is a prerequisite of discrimination. Also he did say that bullies are cowards who pick on the weak...there's something.
About political correctness: Honestly it sometimes feels like pre-scripted formalities we adhere to just because we fear admonishment from society if we don't


girls are people who are largely a product of their environment - same as boys. what he is giving advice on is how to manipulate and control the people around you - sadly, he is not teaching his "son" how to be a better human being which I reckon should be every person's first priority in life.

bullies can be cowards who pick on the weak, or they could be people who don't know any better. attempting to resolve issues with violence tends to generate more violence - not less. Say, someone was verbally abusing this ill-thought out person for his indiscriminate and irresponsible use of words amongst the general populace - and he then punched them in the face as a way to redress the balance - what do you think would be an outcome of such interaction - not just objectively, but subjectively, in the minds of everyone involved?


whatcha mean the outcome in people's minds?

I assume that he means that using violence as a solution teaches people that violence is an effective and acceptable way to deal with their problems. The use of violence perpetuates the use of violence.

The reason lists are popular on the internet is because you don't need any skill or intelligence to come up with a dozen random platitudes and put them on a webpage.

I think Victor writes some things just to get hits ("click bait").

Whomever wrote this deserves a punch in the face for all this bullcrap. (Not the OP, but to the writer of the article in OP's said post.)
