This is is patriarchy in real time. He's attacking that guy's masculinity as a public reminder that real men enforce gender norms even in the most intimate relationships. It's preying on insecurity to control men to control women.
This kind of gender enforcement is pretty common for boys aged 4 until death. The trick of the true oppressor is to get you to surveil yourself.
Allow me to share a small personal story. An anecdote, as it is often called.
I was home for ten years with my children. I changed diapers, took care of meals and chores, and when it was time for it, I took my children to pre-school.
Being a stay at home father, being present for my children, was trampled on by teachers and the mothers of other children. It was disrespectful, demeaning. I was unwelcomed and unwanted. Some even tried to create a narrative that I was a danger to the children.
Women were more vitriolic and systematic in their gender affirmation than men.
That is extremely sad and telling.
The guy in the post is an idiot and being told to shut up and told off, followed by perhaps a couple of punches to the teeth would be enough to get him to stay quiet.
Women would not be so easy to handle.
This. I'm trans and I've existed in public as both a man and a woman.
Nothing is more soul-crushing than being called The Devil simply for being of a sex that isn't even one you want to be!
One of the few Right Wing talking points that I sort of agree with is the idea that men are demonized just for existing, because they REALLY are. I'm not surprised men are responding with hostility to being told their very masculinity is toxic.
Don't get me wrong, Dudebros are still fucking awful, but... "I get it" if that makes sense.
Doesn't mean I recommend anyone takes Andrew Tate or Jordan Peterson's advice and no incels are not based, but... damn ya know.
Banger quote at the end right there
To be honest it's not just patriarchy anymore.
Nowadays conservative agenda serves the elite only.
Meanwhile this controlling hurt most mens as well. Pushing them to only value themselves through work, to repress feelings for productivity... all of it makes for more servile workers.
I love this notion that “you’re not a real man” unless you do what real men tell you to. That is gold.
I agree with you 100% and I want to highlight how weird that behavior is.
First you need to analyze an ad. Then you need to ignore that she has a brand and marketing 101 is that ad needs to fit the brand. Then you need to feel like you can make place for your partner to shine. Only then you can come to these poorly thought-out conclusions.
What it really is:
She takes photos that fits her branding. It is a play on "behind every great man is a great woman..." Highlighting that the greatness of a woman can be her strength/power and the greatness of a man can be their love and care.
What they read, "man behind woman, man take care of children, weak". How insecure is that?
It is a loving supportive message to men and women and they read it like that.
Boys, we've done it.
It is now gay to be straight.
last week we were told on lemmy that all men we were legally women now and were ok to get cheap drinks at ladies night. Now we are also all gay. OK I guess. So straight guys are all lesbians now?
So many people's porn fantasies just came true.
He loves his kids! What a fag!
So when he loves his kids he gets called a fag.
When I love his kids I get arrested.
The double standards are insane.
What a cigarette?
After his wife died, Rick Moranis quit his successful Hollywood career to raise his kids.
What a total homo.
Honey I Shrunk The Kids, So We Can All Fit In The Closet Together
I heard a rumor a year or so ago, that he might come back to do some passion projects, now that the kids are grown.
I like how it calls out the bullshit that men can't care for their kids.
Nothing is more homosexual than being a loving, present father for the children you've created with a woman.
"I love you, dad."
"Sorry, son. That's gay. I'm never speaking to you again."
I’d let Rihanna fuck me in the ass…just saying.
Nothing gay about being fucked by a woman.
Someone had't recieved enough love from his father and wants to be an asshole about it
someone hasn't received enough
asshole
This comment is gay.
There is nothing manlier than gay sex.
So having sex with women is feminine.
Yep, heterosexual sex between a man and a women is gay as fuck, she’s literally fucking a dude which is the gayest thing you can do.
Guys: is it gay to have sex with a woman? This is urgent I have one in bed with me right now
ETA: Doesn’t matter had sex.
E'rybody hetero until they need they dick sucked
Conservatives believe there are only 2 possible roles for a father, absent or abusive.
They don’t even consider the abuse abusive. Got in an argument with some conservative dumb fuck and that idiot had the gall to say,
“My parents beat the shit out of me for doing things like that”
Like cool, dude. That really explains way more than you think lol
I wasn't worried about whether or not I was gay before and I'm still not worried about it. People like this seem to be very worried about whether or not they're gay. It's weird because all I need to know is that I'm not sexually attracted to men.
Repression and denial. The most toxic person is always the one who is insanely jealous and trying to convince themselves that what they desperately want is bad.
Be wary of people with compulsive phobias. It's one thing to be scared of something, but something completely different when they can't stop talking about it.
That Shadaya dude is just African Andrew Tate. Bet many African nations are going to have to deal with maladjusted manboys in the near future, like what is currently happening in the West.
Uganda has been leading the way in this
Why is the comment about being gay, he's talking about "emasculation", so this is about masculinity, not about heteronormativity. Still, assigning your perceived masculine virtues to everyone is kinda cringe ngl, as is defining femininity as inferior.
I mean generally toxic masculinity comes with a healthy dose of homophobia on the side too
Because emasculation of men is just a dog whistle for bigots. At best. At worst it is just a euphemism.
Yes, those are two different things. For bigots they might be the same thing.
End of the day, both are just cultural war olympics for dumb masses.
- reads Vogue
- cares this much about what other men are doing
- thinks having children with Rihanna is emasculating
For a guy whose whole identity is based around their opinion of what straight masculinity is, this is an interesting hill to die on.
A palindrome.
What on earth is the point of this
Lol, I don't know! Palindromes keep linguists busy so we can all say slang words with freedom.
It tickles me how much more cordial this thread is compared to the one about violence at night. No essays about how it isn't true, or how women are presented "worse." Just empathy and good discussion, and some jokes here and there.Wait 'til he finds out about Versace
