„Männerhasserin“? I take it as a compliment. 😉🔥

Immer wenn wir das System kritisieren, zücken cis Männer die „Männerhass-Karte“. Spoiler: Es ist kein Hass, wenn wir euer Verhalten spiegeln. 🪞✨⬇️

A two panel picture, both parts are shots taken in a boxing or MMA ring.  

In the top is the former youtuber and fake boxer Jake Paul on his knees holding on to Anthony Joshua seemingly begging for his life, his cheek pressed into Joshua's groin as he grips his butt cheeks tightly.

Below that is the sex trafficking rapist Andrew Tate, also on his knees in front of his opponent, looking like his trying to get up the courage to take his opponents manly meat in his mouth.

I guess my #pragmatism is alienating to #Neurotypicals who tend to use a #car not as a mere #tool but as a "projection area" for their personality and status.

  • Which in my eyes is more of a display of "fragile ego" (espechally #FragileMasculinity) than actually beneficial.

There was a proper toddler tantrum with him throwing the equipment on the floor once he moved it and everything. 🤣😂🤣

I’ve been thinking about the role ‘male insufficiency’ plays in both domestic and public violence; and it occurs to me that mass shooters, incels, domestic abusers and violent racists can often have desperate, unresolved male insufficiency issues in common. So I asked Google’s Gemini for background. Here’s what I got:

—Societal pressures create a brittle sense of masculinity, often referred to as "fragile masculinity," where a man's identity is constantly at risk of being challenged. When a man's sense of control is threatened—whether by an economic downturn or a partner's independence—it can trigger an intense reaction to re-establish that control. 

When these pressures erupt, men may resort to a variety of maladaptive behaviors to cope with their feelings of inadequacy. These behaviors are often an attempt to reassert a sense of control and power that they feel they have lost.—

Obviously, none of these "#AlphaMale" shit will ever work, because if it did it would, then it would kill their business model.

  • Just like with any "partner search sites" or 3rd party "#Antivirus", they don't profit from solving a problem but from keeping you subscribed.

That's literally the truth.

And it's really #cringe af!

I do think the correct answer to the issue of disposable straw waste is to just quit using straws. The overwhelming majority of straw users (like me) simply don't need them.

Some people reach that conclusion through the weakest, most fearful, most fragile, and in the end, the _wimpiest_ chain of reasoning imaginable.

Headline: Republican congressman says he doesn't drink from a straw as 'it's what women do'

On my daily walk yesterday I saw a shiny new, black, big bubba truck with the word 'BOURGEOIS' adhered over the side windows, with the 'E' in 'blue lives matter' flag colors and design (i.e. the middle line of the 'E' was blue, the rest striped black and white).

Oh, the #ShitSemiotics of #FragileMasculinity in #Murica .

Great paper. 62 countries. N>33,000.
Across cultures

  • Hostile and benevolent sexism are almost always correlated

  • Hostile and benevolent attitudes toward men also almost always positively correlated

#culture and #patriarchy do their thing, pushing everyone toward rigidly-defined gender roles, partly with Benevolent Sexist ideas like "Women are pure and wholesome" and "Men are caring breadwinners." Neither of those is universally true, and both are only applied in certain situations. In other situations, the hostile sexism comes out, e.g. "Women are dishonest sluts" and "Men are violent abusers."

Culture is a bastard in most cases.

Bosson et al. 2021

Joint endorsement of hostile and benevolent gender ideologies is theorized as essential for maintaining the gender hierarchy in which women and men hold unequal power while also depending on one another to meet important goals (Glick & Fiske, 1996, 2001). Indeed, cross- cultural studies indicate that HS and BS are almost universally positively correlated (Glick et al., 2000), as are HM and BM (Glick et al., 2004). Thus, cultures that endorse more hostile ideologies about both women and men also tend to offset these negative views with more flattering, benevolent ideologies about each gender group, with medium-to-large pair-wise correlations between these ideologies (rs=.34-.69; Glick et al., 2004).

Excellent paper that I missed back in 2021.

Bosson et al. (over 100 authors), #PecariousManhood in 62 nations. N > 33,000. This is some great stuff.

A friend recently told me about cycling while female. When she overtakes men it is apparently not uncommon for them to yell something dumb or start pedaling like mad to keep up, or even create dangerous situations in their eagerness to overtake her again. Sounds exhausting.

Ich arbeite in einer gemeinnützigen NGO, deren Motto „Nein zu Gewalt. Für ein freies Leben!“ lautet. Na klar haben wir zu jeder Demo gegen rechts oder den Fall der Brandmauer in HH mobilisiert. Merz stellt jetzt zivilgesellschaftlichen Aktivismus in Frage, weil er mitgemeint war

There is something about it. People are forced into horrible things when they feel they are not enough.
