Society says "young men are
turning to the far right because of
feminists" and not "young women
are turning to feminism because of
far right men" is because the first
rule of patriarchy is to blame women
for everything a man does.

The cult of masculinity, peeps. Fuck THAT in particular.

Men are not singularly lonely: We are living in an incredibly lonely atomized culture where we've obliterated the infrastructure for people to find each other.

Opting out is not an act of rebellion but it is lucidity against a cult whose sole liturgy is the absence of joy.

As a parent AND a digital #narrative warrior, I was excited to see this yesterday. It's a conversation we very much need to be having--as families & as a society--and Cynthia has been leading the charge on it for some time.

But then I came upon this passage, which has gnawed at me since:

"RK: When discussing misogyny, sexism, and gender-based bigotry, how does the book Man Up manage nonbinary issues with gender?

Dr. M-I: By defining misogyny not as hatred of women (which is how it’s understood in popular usage), but rather as the policing of patriarchal norms and expectations. Misogyny, then, is a kind of law enforcement arm of the patriarchy for policing all genders."

I do understand where she's coming from with this, ESPECIALLY in the context of the #manosphere--which IS, after all, our subject here. But expanding this definition this way is problematic in the same way the IHRA's attempt to expand how we define #antisemitism is: it makes it possible to treasure & value the contributions a group makes to our shared society, vigorously defend their rights to self-determination in it, welcome & support advances in their safety & their freedom to participate in it as THEY see fit...yet still be tarred with a pejorative implying our bigoted & irrational hatred for them SIMPLY FOR EXERCISING OUR OWN, Constitutionally-protected right to submit OURSELVES to God's decree as we understand it, and to speak and publish freely in defense of its guidance--just as the IHRA definition would tar me as an antisemite for opposing #IsraelAtWarCrimes even though I also defend its right to exist, in peace, as a Jewish state, and love my spiritual cousins among #AbrahamsChildren.

There's a lot of nuance here--as Cynthia actually does a pretty good job of acknowledging: just as there are ABSOLUTELY actual antisemites (e.g., Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson) trying to adhere themselves to the #JusticeForPalestine movement as a cover for their vile hatred, there are plenty of ACTUAL MISOGYNISTS using theological language to cover for theirs. And while I've always urged folks to follow Jesus' own advice in Matthew 7 for discerning the difference: "By THEIR FRUITS you will know them" (in other words, the dangerous ones are the ones using their speech TO CALL FOR THE INFRINGEMENT OF RIGHTS OR THE SHUNNING OF NEIGHBORS IN *THIS* WORLD for those who turn away from their call), in 2025 there can be no doubt that the misogynist wolves currently running our government LONG CLOAKED THEMSELVES IN the right to free exercise of their faith WHILE PLOTTING TO infringe the rights & compel shunning of neighbors who turn away from their call. And nowhere is this truer than in the manosphere.

Still, we need to be careful not to throw the Constitutional baby our with the fascist bathwater--and expanding how we define misogyny to encompass faith-based arguments we don't like because they've been abused to justify oppression TOO would put us at just that risk.

All this bullshit about what my "job" as a good wife is, what bullshit! Way I see it, my only "job as a good wife" is to make faces at him when he's trying to talk on the phone.

What the fuck is wrong with men?

"... it shows a man approaching her repeatedly, coming closer and closer. He reaches out and touches her - wiping something wet on her arm.

"At first I thought it was coffee," she says. "But when I watched the video back - you can hear him saying 'that's my pee'. My jaw dropped. I was horrified."

I admin a local singles group on Facebook and occasionally post questions to prompt some conversation between the members.

Today I posted asking people what podcasts they've been listening to lately.

I didn't realise that it would be such a honeypot question for incels and manosphere nonsense, and now I'm wondering if I should just ban them all from the group.

How the podcast-bro epidemic h...

"..... only 61% of high-school girls want to be married one day, compared to 74% of the boys. Perhaps this is behind the burgeoning genre of opinion pieces in which a rightwing man complains that women don’t want to date him. Often enough, he is an avowed libertarian, leaving it a mystery why he does not simply accept the workings of the free market."

Dear fuck, 'men' are so fucking weak and pathetic if they believe this shit.

Just because nobody finds you attractive or your jokes funny, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with society, it means there is something wrong with you.

This. Linke, tazlesende Menners sind manchmal auch nur in der Hinsicht ignorante Macker. Hab ich grad in ner Sexismus-Diskussion hier im Fediverse auch wieder live erlebt.
Und der zunehmende #Manosphere Backlash (für den allen Ernstes der "böse" Feminismus verantwortlich gemacht werden soll) gibt auch wenig Anlass zur Hoffnung. Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen.
