“Only a small proportion of men displayed traditional forms of toxic masculinity,” the researchers concluded, adding that “men can be ‘manly’ without being toxic”.

“Taken together, our results illustrate the diversity of masculine identities and indicate that interventions to address destructive male attitudes need to be tailored to counteract distinct forms of toxicity.”

“I wanted someone to craft their own version of [Skeletor as an interesting villain and Jared Leto] wanted to swing for the fences."

"And ultimately we landed on something that I’m really happy with. Skeletor’s kind of the embodiment of toxic masculinity.”

#London is no more unsafe than *any* densely populated area in the whole of Britain!

I see the exact same #crime patterns in urban areas of #Kent , #Essex , #Sussex , #Surrey, #Herts and #Berkshire and even here in #Suffolk - they are caused by #inequality and #ToxicMasculinity and that is all over our country, not just confined to the capital..

The Quid Pro Quo/Extortion regime is going after scouts now.

Fun fact: Pete Hegseth was never a scout of any kind. He memorized bible verses, but presumably not the ones about helping people, while scouts were out camping and hiking and helping people.

Misogynistic masculinity and right wing extremism are two sides of the same coin. There may be some ideological differences between Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate and Jeffrey Epstein
but regarding the humiliation of women and non binary people they are prime examples for the strong connection of male white supremacy and organized facism.

Um halb eins, angetrunken, mit der Lieblingsmusik auf den Ohren in einer deutschen Großstadt alleine mit der Bahn nach Hause zu fahren, ohne Angst zu haben, ist ein unfassbares Privileg. Von Männern.

#antifeminismus hat, wie andere menschenfeindliche [!] #ideologien, vielfach eine starke Kitt-Funktion, indem er unterschiedliche gesellschaftliche und politische Milieus verbindet. Antifeministische Positionen und Organisierungen finden sich zudem auch in jüdischen Communities, ebenso wie antisemitische Positionen in feministischen und #queer en Zusammenhängen (vgl. das sogenannte Pinkwashing).“
Auch darum müssen wir weltweit immer weiter für #feminismus kämpfen!

Queensland police scrap specialist unit providing support for domestic and family violence cases

Change comes after 100-day review that found domestic violence case management was not ‘core’ police business

The Queensland police service plans to disband a specialist unit that provided statewide support for domestic and family violence cases, prompting concern from frontline workers that the loss of an “important resource” would place women at greater risk.

France ‘should declare toxic masculinity a threat to national security’

An annual report from the Higher Council for Equality (HCE) warns of a growing "masculinity" ideology legitimised by Trump and amplified by social media.

The report singles out Andrew Tate, former kickboxer turned influencer, as a “prime example of the contemporary spread of toxic and sexist masculinity via social media”.

BlueSky Is A Platform For Attention Whores With No Standards

I’m convinced that Bluesky is the platform for attention-whores who perform and humiliate themselves for validation and affirmation. It’s really sad. I don’t feel bad when bad things happen to them as a consequence because they were already warned, yet they prioritize fitting into a culture and refuse to deal with their feelings of inadequacy. The reason they stay is that the bar is low for meaningful engagement, allowing them to indulge in their obsessions and compulsions while being rewarded for self-destructive behavior. It truly is quite pathetic.

I initially joined Bluesky for the sexual content because people on Mastodon have little interest in sex and much more elaborate norms around sexuality. Contrary to what people think of me, I don’t actually use social media in the conventional way most people do. I view it on an abstract, non-algorithmically served layer via my network analysis tools, and I interact with YouTube in a very constrained way. So, I wasn’t aware of how bad things were until I started using Bluesky conventionally. The men on Bluesky are just plain repulsive to me. Desperation, neediness, lack of independence, and obsessively posting about a single topic (like sex, religion, or politics), instead of developing a genuine hobby that demonstrates skill, progress, and mastery, are major turn-offs. I find a lack of standards absolutely disgusting.

For example, if someone abhorrent gives you a compliment, you don’t accept it. If an abhorrent person follows you, you block them. Yet what I see are men posting sexual content and seeking attention and validation from anyone, regardless of who it’s coming from. If I look through someone’s activity and see nothing but low-effort posts interacting with nothing but sexual content or obsessive engagement with that type of content, I lose interest immediately.

A reason why my husband has held my attention for over a decade is that there is always something new with him. He is always randomly looking into developing a new skill. One day, he started randomly speaking Mandarin to me, which I did not know he knew how to speak. He had told me he had been learning Mandarin. Yes, my husband is neurodivergent and his interests are cars, but that doesn’t displace all other things. Another reason why my husband holds my attention is that he can keep a conversation going and match anyone’s changes. It’s not one ritualistic or compulsive thing every single fucking day.

A very real consequence of the lack of standards in gay sexual spaces, especially given that many misogynistic, homophobic far-right men suppress their homosexual attractions, is that many of the fetishes in gay sexual spaces are reminiscent of manosphere content. Because of what I do for a living, I have access to audience segmentation metrics and social embeddings of how content is served. Manosphere content clusters with homoerotic content that men consume. At some point, obsession became so normalized that people stopped realizing it was problematic.

Unless gay men set boundaries and tell manosphere bros, “we’re not having that,” you’ll see what I see on Bluesky. I’m actually very sexual myself, and I frequently go to bathhouses—those that have very explicit rules—sex parties, and orgies.

The funny thing is that I have had plenty of really deep philosophical conversations sitting in the hot tub of a bathhouse with naked gay men. Because of health codes and all that, you can’t do sexual things in the pool or the hot tub, so those areas were places for genuine play and conversation, while spots like the saunas were the fuck spots. I recall a particularly interesting conversation I had with an older gay man who had been going to that bathhouse since the ’80s. He explained to me the social context of the HIV epidemic and how, basically, no one knew it was sexually transmitted, so everyone was still barebacking at that exact same bathhouse we were in.

The issue here is people who fuck and sexually perform for awful people who want to murder them because they have absolutely no fucking standards and are so emotionally needy that they forgo all forms of self-preservation. I’m a computer scientist, so I have access to a lot of data tools. I can tell you for a fact that there is a strong correlation between men who want to murder gay men and trans people and the ones liking, engaging in parasocial dynamics with, and commenting in their replies. You’re willing to take sexual attention from people who want to kill you, and that blows my mind.

In their minds, Bluesky is better if it is not a Nazi strip bar but a Nazi BDSM-furry-kink club? What the ever-loving fuck?! Honestly, I watch a lot of feminist content that rips manosphere content apart, so much so that I can instantly recognize coded things. The “fuck no!” moment for me is when I saw manosphere-coded things being fetishized in the ego networks of large gay adult content creators and OnlyFans creators in social network embeddings. It’s not like it is insidious. If I see it, everyone else sees it; they are just ignoring it because they are prioritizing sexual validation and their obsessions.

The writing style in this glorious story... www.closertotheedge.net/p/the-dildo-... ...is perhaps the perfect amount of breaking the unwritten rule about overuse of simile. #ICEout #ICE #ToxicMasculinity #SmallDickEnergy #Minneapolis

Nope. Not going to ALT TXT this. I usually do, but not this time, and for good reason.

Just follow the link. This is merely a screenshot of a small portion of that wonderful article, and you really should just go read that article, so you get the whole context in which this screenshot serves as a "tease" for people who are more likely sucked in by a visual cue.

Yes, there's a photo in this screenshot, but if you read the article, that which is shown in this picture will be in your mind's eye anyway.
