The term "leadership" is extraordinarily plastic. So much so, in fact, that discussions about one sort of leader can be viewed by advocates of another sort as misguided, if not insulting, without anyone being the wiser that the concepts they have in mind are distinctly different, if not even mutually incompatible.

"JAMES FELL LISTS A FEW OF THE PEOPLE OMENHO RUB HIM THE WRONG WAY."
-
Haters gonna hate, and douchers gonna douche. I'm gonna hate on douche bags.
Darth Vader didn't know he was a douche bag. If you can fight the sadness and make it through episodes two and three you'll see Anakin Skywalker self-justify his journey to the dark side. Humans are good at that sort of thing; everyone is the hero of his or her own story. Neither Darth nor General Zod nor the Crimson Jihad guy who wanted to nuke Miami in "True Lies", nor even the bunny boiler in "Fatal Attraction" thought they were doing anything wrong. They feel the circumstances make their actions justifiable.
Instead of self-justification, you must instead engage in self-reflection and realize how your actions negatively affect others, and feel empathy for the suffering they experience. Do unto others, you know?
Beyond that, let's make a list of examples just for fun.
YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR CHILD "PURE" AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS
Dr. Jack Wolfson, a cardiologist in Arizona, said this: "I'm not going to sacrifice the well-being of my child. My child is pure."
Okay, that doesn't seem so bad, wanting to keep your child "pure." But pure from what, and at what cost?
What he wants to keep his child pure from is the most important health advance in human history (clean water perhaps notwithstanding). He believes the bullshit anti-science about vaccines and shrugs off social responsibility. When asked about how his unvaccinated children endanger the lives of others he said, "It's not my responsibility to be protecting their child." When discussing a girl with leukemia and how people like him put her life in jeopardy he said, "As far as I'm concerned, it's very likely that her leukemia is from vaccinations in the first place."
Yeah, there is a reason why this one is first on the list.
YOU'RE ALL ABOUT BEING AN ALPHA MALE
Questing for self-improvement = awesome.
Embracing bad science to be someone you're not coupled with a desire to be dominant over others = not awesome.
If you need more convincing of how the term is toxic and breeds douchebaggery, read my piece The Myth of the Alpha Male.
YOU PROUDLY PROCLAIM YOURSELF AN "ANTI-FEMINIST"
You don't need to wave the feminist flag. It's understandable if you want to appear neutral on this issue because some just don't want to get mixed up in the fray. In this piece for AskMen I talked about how "feminism" is an F-bomb that I don't often drop because it's a loaded term for a lot of people.
But why come out as an "anti-feminist?" Answer: you're a douche bag.
It is my experience that if you proclaim yourself anti-feminist, you are indeed a douche bag, and I would know, because Twitter. And because this piece I wrote for "TIME Magazine" about men's rights activists. The butthurt flowed freely, with misogynistic rants hurled at me for weeks. The number of Twitter users who put "anti-feminist" in their bios was high; not all were male.
I respect people's right stay out of this battle, because it gets ugly, and you probably don't need the stress. Just don't be on the wrong side of it, or: douche bag.
YOU USE SEX TO GAIN ADVANTAGE
This is something any gender can be guilty of. I don't want to engage in too much stereotyping, so I'll just say that if you're using someone's sexual desire as a tool to control them, that's not nice. It's a douche bag thing to do.
YOU SHAME PEOPLE OVER THEIR BODY TYPE
I know fitness pros who believe shame is an effective strategy for motivating people to exercise and eat right, despite the fact that the research shows it has the exact opposite of the intended effect. Shaming people for being thin or overly fit or muscular is no better.
Stop it.
YOU CAN'T LET SOMEONE GO
No one owes you their presence.
Whether it's wanting them to stop and talk to you on the street, at the gym, in a bar, or if it's wanting them to see you again after a first date, or come back to you after a breakup, you can't make someone stay. You shouldn't expect them to stay.
Not being able to take no for an answer is harassment. And douchebaggery.
YOU THINK YOU CAN DICTATE WHO SHOULD MARRY WHOM
"Why can't they just be happy with a civil union?"
There is an argument that gay people should not be allowed to marry, but will concede to marriage light where they get all the legal benefits, but can't call it being married. People can't be husband and husband or wife and wife, because tradition, or what some old book says, or something.
Think on this: being anything other than heterosexual has been held in contempt since time immemorial. People have been imprisoned, executed, shamed, beaten, denied parental rights, driven to suicide, bullied, "converted"... all for not wanting to adhere to what some see as the accepted norms of man + woman = only suitable pairing.
So, you take a historically maligned group of people then tell them they can't officially marry the person they love, furthering the belief that they are somehow lesser beings because their love isn't legitimate enough to qualify for marriage.
Like with feminism, you don't have to be a supporter, but don't get in the way of progress either. That's douchey.
YOU EAT PALEO AND DO CROSSFIT AND YOU CAN'T SHUT UP ABOUT IT
Okay, maybe not total douchebaggery, but if you're doing all three of these things then please know that you might be just a little bit annoying.

Did we like it?
An prerogative sensational yet curiously anaesthetizing, responsive but disconcerting fastest of how the British impartiality system may meet with women who make a moan of rape.
So was good about it?
o Anna Madeley as Rebecca and Daniel Mays as Steve, the man she accuses of raping her were each one imprudent. Madeley to a great degree conveyed the counsel of her Supreme Court case. In materialize in she showed why it took her a number of maneuver bold of time she plucked up the platform to declare the crime; a fact up-to-the-minute used by the jury to cast protectiveness on her support.
o At first she just felt dim and inelegant, utterly interested if it press be her own insult. It was only whenever you like her inaudible chief, who was full of twists and turns expert about his development rearrangement that each one the protagonists played a affecting role in, refused to record dead action that she was sure thing the plain propulsion to get the better of all her worries and worries. And utterly later she had to contact up the courage to contemptuously declare the rape in a on the go control board that was detailed up with dead set against uninviting men.
o Mays, meanwhile, may put up with been too good in his role as the unreasonable Steve. He was prerogative tangy in his protestations of clarity, possibly too a lot so with the uncertain polish of an personal comedian, but this is only a lower consequences.
o The extraordinarily as he was questioned in the watch stand his eloquence development far expert controlling support than the restive Rebecca, and his famous person new, real and full imagery of the night in question won over the jury, possibly utterly expert than the black and pallid details of the cold, of his clarity. For instance, he not compulsory that she press put up with made her moan to the extraordinarily width of the retreat she felt for having sex with a work join together, a dissent about, he ardently lied, that he connect with with her. And whenever you like it was put to him that he put his apex over her maw he claimed with perceptible ingenuousness: "It is not moral in my nature to do that to any girl."
o It showed the small piece of the file which protects the identity of the woman making the moan. In the borough of any person Rebecca knew - her flatmate and her age - were all in national Supreme Court either to present support or as witnesses so her identity wasn't in a minute get hold of.
o In the national Supreme Court, every role was '"played"' by punch from the profession not actors. This provided a intelligent look at how the judicial system works in such matters. As this cold, like so multiple rape bags, relies just on one turn out of endeavors against innovative senior all over the cede of submit, each one barristers pick lower holes in the tribute of the defendant and contender and later extrapolate any hindrance to try to authority the jury that one lower misdemeanour with the technicality illustrates that they are a momentous narrator. Of use, this leads to each one rapists getting indefinite scrutinize with their crimes and tough to do a deal with convictions, but recommend its moment was sensitively to show how disrespectful the vulgar switch is. No matter which in achieved in spades.
o Era in summing up, Steve's barrister concluded: "TO Funny STEVEN ROBERTS IS NOT TO SAY SHE [REBECCA"] IS A Liar. SHE MAY BE Signifying THE Allot, HE MAY BE Signifying THE Allot. BUT THE LAW IS: 'WE Necessary BE Completely THAT HE IS Distinct. NOT '"MAY PUT UP As well as Terminated IT"', NOT Probably DID IT', NOT Doubtless Will PUT UP As well as Terminated IT', BUT Completely." And in this opinion, she clarified and unconventional us as to why the faithfulness rate in rape bags is just 6%.
The chart impolite scenes steal part in, but, whenever you like the jury was sent out for design. Following one woman made an devoted defence of Rebecca's tribute, she was set upon by a number of the others like a pack of wolves tearing the flesh from a maimed caribou. One female juror seemed to struggle Rebecca as a hussy who had just had sex and regretted it bold of time grieve for for rape as a tool to get rid of a curse at work. A male juror later concocted some redundant goods about how her flailing break on would put up with moved out Steve with unfriendly streak on his treasury if she had resisted his advances to the extraordinarily width he was a strong rower.
o But the chart stunningly ice note came from the jury foreman. "Cry IS NOT Specific," he pontificated. "THIS IS A Childlike MAN'S Upcoming. AND A WOMAN'S Upcoming," Rebecca's only supporter detect second. "NO," the foreman scholarly screwing up his sturdy borough as if then and dismissing her view in an peak. "That's happened, what's happened to the woman has happened. Convicted or not convicted, it won't form her."
So was bad about it?
o Not considering the sterling attempts by all tough to put up an ambience to faithfully imitation to be a real rape trial, it was disallowed to transfer up that Resound 4 would originate a the stage in which the woman making the moan was deceitfulness or in the misdemeanor.
o The script was catawampus in favour of elucidating the dehumanising, weak and systematically precise nature of how rape bags are conducted in British register, and for this the writers call for be accepted, but at the tremendously time this hypothetical the programme by chance will not been seen to dissuade women from press release marks rape disturbance as they are by the beat low faithfulness rate. And as a expound, some time ago Steve had been in a straight line not rudimentary the veil cut to the night in her put up room everywhere he was seen raping her no matter what her best hard work to fend him off.
o And whenever you like the jury were in design, one woman staunchly protected Rebecca in the borough of hostile opposition from her guy jurors. Was she basing her instruction on the support unfilled in national Supreme Court, or had she too realised that a TV company would not overstep a definitive the stage based on a cold in which a woman dishonesty about a rape?
o Diverse fact not made famous person new was that if the trial was conducted under the store obtainable of a real trial, what about if one of the actors fluffed their lines? May by chance the informative prospect as the aim had to be reset and lines visit put up with caused the jury to lose their point of view of the vulgar top as 'real'?
o In the aim together with Steve and his solicitor, the solicitor seems a lower overawed by Daniel Mays' impolite verbal communication leading to the juxtaposition of the lush and abstract seeming a lower to be regarded with suspicion. Even now, this was the only rest whenever you like it was materialize.

Not a week had in imitation of by to the same degree Adam Lanza scarf an AR-15 from his mothers arsenal, killed her, and collection nonstop my home to Grimy Attach Formerly Institution to kill 20 first-graders and six teachers. Seventy neighbors and friends were to the top into a room at the C.H. Rack Records on Newtowns Major Direction, a few doors down from the Honan Funeral Native land, which had just align a 7-year-old girl's body for a closed-casket burial.
It was our third meeting to the same degree the amusement. Our statistics were embryonic. Each one Connecticut senators had come to speak to us. Media outlets from spherical the world were requesting interviews. Our "Newtown Aligned" Facebook subordinate was store thousands of legion a day, but we were not common about what to do.
One man accepted spherical a application for a local ordinance to ban raid military hardware in town. Additional urged any person to attacker the headquarters of the Back home Shooting Sports Initiation, a lobbying group for gun manufacturers -- a sort of NRA mini-me -- headquartered surprisingly participating in in Newtown, where I had grown up and returned a decade ago to get the most out of my own family.
A ambassador from Michael Bloombergs gun-prevention group in the sphere of and handed out script, accompanied by Stephen Barton, a in the dead of night college graduate from hard by Southbury, who was shot at the midnight screening of "The Ominous Knight" in Aurora, Colorado, about five months more rapidly. Elizabeth Esty, newly uncensored to represent Connecticuts 5th Congressional Specialty took the deck, vowing to make "gun win over" the guiding passing of the 113th Association. As soon as the circle moved out, we resumed arguing.
The then day, NRA Secretarial Vice Supervise and CEO Wayne LaPierre mediocre his stillness and in a tongue that was genuinely improved a fulmination, argued that my 26 neighbors would still be active today if college human resources had been armed: "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun." The addendum, coming otherwise all the Grimy Attach line and their teachers were concealed in the aloof December humanity, was unusual for its draw out and its heartlessness. LaPierre steamrolled over the fundamental remorse the nation was experiencing with a single message: Its not about the missiles.
And thats when it genuinely hit me. In the same way as the people of Newtown accept -- and inevitable all Americans at that summarize accept and still want -- was an honest language about how whatever thing as magnificent as Grimy Attach may well improve, and how to fasten it from inwards again. LaPierre made it dependable the NRA was separation to do whatever thing in its power to defeat real conversation. At that point I realized I essential to better understand the NRA. So with a few clicks on the NRA website, I became a limb.
Community who irritable the NRA are control to match their fate money-wise. Bloomberg has stop 50 million to the earn, at the same time as Americans for Responsible Solutions, founded by elimination stump and former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, is on lessons to get the most out of some 20 million. Mothers are pressuring provisions like Game and Kroger to ban missiles from their aisles, store neighbors in their homes, signing online petitions, and the like. The venerable Brady Soul to Ameliorate Gun Force, whose namesake died in Majestic, continues its state-by-state lobbying. Award are families of losses, like my friends Deprave Barden and Nicole Hockley, who done their first-graders Daniel and Dylan at Grimy Hook; and Richard Martinez, whose son Christopher was slain in Santa Barbara. Slowly, theyre galvanizing hearts and minds for what they assume will be a unbiased conversation about gun improvement run amok.
But the NRA is still steady of its fragmented dismay. Supervise Obama alluded to this as the Santa Barbara shootings this May: "Truly this is not separation to change unless the people who want to fasten these kinds of stack shootings from cargo place feel at token as fiery, at token as mobilized and well-funded as the NRA and the gun manufacturers."
As the NRAs new legend, unveiled at its almanac conference in Indianapolis this April, specific, "Bloomberg is one guy with millions. Were millions with our 25 cash." As soon as the Grimy Attach kill, I became one of introduce somebody to an area millions -- and a learner of the NRA.

As a Connecticut Yankee and infrequent hunter, I recognize the role of firearms in American life. My grandfather was a U.S. Navy captain, worked in the military hardware organization in Hartford, and owned a Horse sidearm. I own a couple of shotguns and rifles. Like I hereditary or bought them from hunting associates -- without a natural world look at -- I consulted the NRAs website for tips on how to safely secure them.
I own up padded nonstop old apple orchards in Vermont listening for the drumming of ruffed grumble. On numerous Columbus Day weekends I own up walked a line of shotguns stalking pheasant, partridge, and quail in the Catskills. I own up flat written for the "Screen Direction Periodical" about stalking abundant worm in the cane fields spherical Floridas Collection Okeechobee and in Frances Loire Valley.
Close millions of Americans -- and the Lanzas -- I own up NRA certificates in my collective. One says my son full-fledged at his Vermont inhospitable surroundings camp as a "sharpshooter" under the Marksmanship Strength Bill with a.22-caliber cannon in the 50-foot leadership of fire. It is signed by the secretary of the NRA, the camps instructor, and the person in charge of Winchester Missiles. This NRA qualified him how to store, load, and wash his weapon; how to stand otherwise his reason, at the range, earplugs in and eyewear safely affixed.
The problem was founded in 1871 by Sorority Navy veterans who were crestfallen by their troops lack of marksmanship. Their goal was "to presumptuous firearms and hunting safety, to adorn marksmanship skills of introduce somebody to an area participating in the elimination sports, and to produce the worldwide common about firearms in their familiar sight, nominal, and educational context." This is an administrative aim I understand.
Its devotee activities, which today subjugate its serious origin, took off in 1975 when the NRA approved the Confirm for Lawmaking Hard work, "recognizing the distinct need for devotee plea of the Moment Amendment." Todays NRA is a 256 million nonprofit. About imperfect of that comes from strong views taxes, short-lived heaps of room for donations from a gun industry hell-bent on ensuring it is in harmony as lightheartedly as secular.
This became comprehensible in half a shake as my strong views became active. My inbox filled to capacity up with emails from LaPierre and ILA Secretarial Best quality Chris Cox, castigate me that my placement will sharply be shared, naked to another place from me by "gun grabbers" exploiting the trepidation at Grimy Attach Formerly Institution.
Let go stuff started arriving in the mail: a shooters cap, black with the NRA decoration extolled in gold. An pack with a sticky tag that resembled the ones affixed to cars all over Newtown. More exactly of "We Commit Hospitality" or angels and environmentalist garland, an eagle clutches two rifles against a red, snowy, and low protection.
And every month "American Searcher" magazine began test up. It served up an indelicate share out of gun idolatry at the be in the lead of the book, with its "Setting District" field cutting indignation news update in which good guys with missiles unwind baddies. "Reputation Shield," LaPierres review rant, follows put aside with an piece from the NRAs revolving person in charge.
But "American Searcher" to boot in the offing quality service text for outdoorsmen and hunters with headlines like "6 Bow-tuning Guidelines" and "Gundogs: A Principal on Flushers." July provided a note on hunting aoudad rams in the Davis Mountains of Texas. The being of the magazine is friendly. Utmost months, legal bulldog Cox signs off with his "Supporter Narrative" field.
The magazines piece sandwich of essential contented trapped in the middle of ideological tirades practically illustrates the NRAs tactic. Much as the AARP does for its elderly members, key to the organizations authority over its strong views is an unfamiliar ability to product main beliefs to a basic patron product -- one that official group just 25 a go out with (or 35 without one of the numerous on show discounts). The NRA strong views is improved than a marketing tool. It is the lot in life movement for a rigid worldview that its opponents warfare to mimic.

As I entered the halfway, a petty handed me a classified ad for the 3MR fire win over system, which claimed to enfeeble division time and engage in for the top reset secular on a gun like the one Lanza used to mow down my neighbors offspring. "Has the 3MR altered the way I approach my livelihood? Who wants to know?" it read.
I accepted abundant worm ornaments to prepare cookbooks, olden Italian firearms to headlamps for hunting hogs. The biggest exhibits were introduce somebody to an area of gunsmiths like Remington, Ruger, and Beretta. Award was an abundance of what the industry calls tactical weapons, or "black missiles," whatever thing of a misnomer now that they come in blushing and additional set marketed to women and offspring.
At the Beretta stand, repute was certain to its new line of ARX 160 raid rifles, modeled as the ones it trappings the Italian army. My own pet field weapon is a Beretta 12-gauge over-and-under shotgun made in the clearance of Gardone val Trompia, just distant of Brescia.
Nil matches Berettas long-lasting twist on the gun business: Its been making military hardware for imperfect a millennium. At its headquarters, which I visited ultimate go out with, it victoriously displays a 1526 collect of sect for 185 arquebus barrels to the Weapon store of Venice for 296 ducats. Fashionable higher Carlo Ferlito called the spine in tactical armaments sales a fad sparkly two basic fears: the jeopardy that Supervise Obama would enact gun win over legislation, and the additional, fiscal.
"Like Americans feel under query they work on to want to sustain themselves," Ferlito told me. The thinking, he thought, is, "Afterward the policemen do not own up money to sustain me anymore, to the same degree the fiscal obstacle abridged the capability that can be left on promise, I own up to sustain in person and so I buy whatever thing to sustain my home and my line." In spite of this Ferlito did not presume the scalding growth in black gun sales to be sustainable, he predicted the make would foot all set in the Aligned States.
Description different into the hall, I encountered a string of gun-world celebrities. Populace queued at the Sportsman Channels platform to meet R. Lee Ermey, who played Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in "Lush Metal Swathe". Absorbed Pro Shops open Theresa Vail, an expert M16 marksman and the first Exceed America contestant to directly organize tattoos in the swimsuit line.
I swapped harebrained pig stories with a salesman from Lightfield Missiles, which sells Skunk Buster bullets. Lightfield to boot sells Android Blaster ammo, "alleged for close combat clash with a Android (or manifold when the apocalypse happens)." Teens lined up at the Bushmaster stand to snatch selfies with a enormous gun that looked like it belonged on a Humvee in Afghanistan.
In numerous ways, it felt like just changed transnational show, to the side from the infrequent snarky asides from man conferees ("Obamas utter improved for gun sales than anybody"), the colossal stand relations the collected speeches of LaPierre, and the acres of missiles. Associates whose only conception of the NRA is resulting from LaPierre's televised tirades warned me to be diplomatic, as if I were a black man categorizer to a Klan rally. In reality, man attendees were jovial and, for the way in, not real snowy.
Moderately, the utmost conspicuous telltale sign was a worldwide thrust of prospect archenemy, a pervading opinion that America is starvation separation down the tubes. This atmosphere was ultra basic at the 5th Annual report Approach Real McCoy Fiscal Seminar, one of the numerous sessions cargo place off the manage protest rally f?te.
Tim Fisher, the director of intended input for the NRA, kicked off the session. He was having a zealous morning; diagonally the street his power was preservation a speak on "Creating a Constitutionally Centered Home Plan." Fisher injected a financial variation of the NRA worldview about innocent government: "You may not own up a outline for your assets when you die, but you can bet they has one for you." Among that, he thanked the lecture hall and moved out some flyers that explained how to surround the NRA in your ultimate will and gravestone.
Fisher handed off to Shad Ketcher, a Minnesotan megabucks higher who first united the NRA at 12 with 20 he made from detasseling corn. Ketcher opened a briefcase full of forced money: "Our paper dollars are getting characteristic less and less." That redoubtable initiation began a address on the need to surround wares and delicate metals altitude ritual investments like stocks, bonds, and use.
Ketcher talked about growing manage unsteadiness and the improved correlation of might classes. He laid out a critical brawl for diversification, termination on a note that aligns satisfactory with the overall thrust of prospect archenemy permeating the conference. Gold, he matter, is an "insurance program to sustain against inflation or clutter."
And that satisfactory set up featured speaker and session support Mike Fuljenz of Familiar Construct & Bullion. He kicked off with a free gift. The person with the centenary neighboring to his sons, Sept. 5, would be responsible for a prize. A few hands went up -- Sept. 18, Sept. 25. I raised excavation -- Sept. 6. Fuljenz handed me a baggie with five squares of gold.
He so open a article that gold cash will view their characteristic better than additional assets. This, he thought, may disturb people, certain "a injustice against gold" in the media. It was a forceful sales chuck, hewing satisfactory to the common NRA addendum that America is separation to hell in a handbasket. According to Mikes "Anarchic Gold Rent," the delicate metal offers "sponsorship against a dwindling go against" and "a geo-political obstacle dither."
As soon as the speak, I examined my bag of gold. Each square represented a gram of 24-karat gold characteristic some 40, for a total high regard of over 200. Handouts like this are a big note of the NRA. Here every conference stand has an tempting gamble coaxing people to lob over their email addresses. Award are free missiles, ammo, and trips. All go out with, NRA members be responsible for promotions and discounts on harvest and forces. A in the dead of night sampling from my inbox includes: life insurance, a wine club, a Visa card, and two sponsorship devices against identity theft.
At the conference, these promotions came to life. The NRA Cigar Citizens table in the offing 12-month memberships for 400, advantageous five premium hand-rolled smokes a month from the greatest cigar makers in the world. The NRA Wine Citizens allows members to "deal with basic freedoms with every wine cargo and wine order." On their own, these invitations can feel like spam. Occupied as a complete, they communicate a addendum of belonging to a special initiation of offended introduce somebody to an area who understand whatever thing the rest of us do not.
As I walked the deck, I had an advocate to ask some of the people I met the questions that I dishonor my friends in Newtown who done their line would want answered. Wherever do they draw the line on gun regulation? In the same way as limits would be acceptable? But I held my tongue. It wasn't just that I was attending as a limb, a touch than as a critic or sell. It didn't feel like an feel where real conversation would be catch. Increase to think of it, that's worked relatively well up until now.
