Can anyone who upvoted this explain what's actually wrong with Zuck's comment?
"Masculine energy I think is good, and obviously society has plenty of that, but I think that corporate culture was really trying to get away from it [...] It's like you want feminine energy, you want masculine energy [...] I think that that’s all good. But I do think the corporate culture sort of had swung toward being this somewhat more neutered thing,
Its ironic because theyre trying to project masculinity without doing anything worth a fuck. If zuck wanted respect he would have done something beneficial with his position like a real man.
It has the vibes of run-of-the-mill toxic masculinity trying to categorize behaviors based on gender and then make it subtly clear that only the masculine category is good and acceptable, or in his words, not "neutered".
Or at least that's how I understand the outrage but it doesn't mean that's exactly what he's saying because his statement is plausibly deniable. He needs to clarify (but does he really, given his latest activity around prez Musk & Co.?).
It's nonsense.
Ok but you can't explain what's wrong with the comment?
It's easy to get offended and think it's wrong, but considering my comment is at +1/-6 yet no one has actually explained what's wrong reinforces my belief it's actually sensible. Something that's obvious nonsense can be debunked with no effort, yet here we are
A good start would be defining what those words mean to him and to his company.
For instance, given nothing but the recent news about Meta and the quote from the OP, it sounds to me like Zuckerberg thinks “masculine energy” means “act overtly bigoted, and punch down whenever you can.”
I’m a man, and I like to act masculine in the “help those around you” way rather than the racist, napoleon complex “I am a strong boy because I offend people and I have good taste because I hate everything” way. And I don’t appreciate him putting more negativity on the word than there already was!
I'm not gonna get into it with sea lioning.
