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

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.

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.

Q: How long until DOGE tries to change the Enola Gay to the Enola Straight to match up with Republican fear of diversity?
A: About five hours ago.
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 #fragilemasculinity
There is something about it. People are forced into horrible things when they feel they are not enough.

Sit down. Mandatory watching. ESPECIALLY for Men.
No, you are NOT zapping away, you look till the end!
You learn and then practice.
Thank you.
(Started out as a Zuck and Musk bashing and ended up being a very thoughtful and correct analysis, what went wrong in our society AND how we fix it.)
Random #Tesla observation about Musk's "#CyberTruck" a.k.a. the Incel Camino.
I was shocked he didn't call it the "Model XY".

Vance's direct reference to Greta Thunberg in his #msc2025 speech makes once again clear, that the #climatejustice movement and all the efforts undertaken by women over the last years against #patriarchy did hit a nerve and were on point! We are witnessing the lashing out of white supremacists with #fragilemasculinity under pressure that are pouring billions of dollars into recruiting young men for their heartless ideologies. We're up against a huge machinery and just saying the left failed and has no plan as some do lately is wrong and just feeds their narrative.
"But when I see middle-aged billionaires – Zuckerberg isn’t the only one – exhibiting the signs of fragile masculinity that I’ve observed among young adult men and adolescent boys, I can’t help but wonder what the country’s future holds."
