British Culture...

" two RAF engineers out on a bender in Berkshire."

This is why we can't have nice things, belligerent drunken men. But don't anybody try to change that culture, don't anybody appear woke, for the 'boys will be boys' must be maintained, how dare anyone stop the boys doing what they want!

Talking about toxic masculinity.

As a trans guy I DREAM of having a beard.
But I also know that my masculinity has nothing to do with it, the same way it has nothing to do with what is -or isn't- between my legs.

Cis guys could learn a thing or two from us in that matter.

The Guardian · The sudden, surprising rise of beard transplants: ‘This industry is a wild west’By Simon Usborne

Toxic masculinity is really out there ruining it for everyone...

Storytime:

I was busy doing my job when two ladies came into the library. They looked like sisters and I thought they probably were.

One of them came up to ask for help locating a certain book. While I was searching the catalog, one picked up a book from the Most Wanted, "The Lies He Told Me" and waggled it towards the other who said, "Girl, I could've written that!" The women then told me they'd once been married to the same guy and were now besties.

First woman: "I'm the first wife..."

Second woman: "And I'm the third, there was one in between."

Me: "Wow, when they start to form a club..."

Them: "Yeah, there was a second, but we don't want her in our club."

I gave them their info and wished them a great day together.

"Manly" men, let's do better, ok?

Coleman Spilde is right. Essential tv for all: "I’d go as far as to say that "Adolescence" should be required viewing for all teenagers, & certainly a condition of having a phone. If a teen wants to be tapped into the digital echo chamber, they have to know what it can do to them. Goodwill & hope that parents will raise their children correctly aren’t enough when the worlds inside of their phones can undo all of that learning."

Ein*e Tänzer*in, eine Projektionsfläche, eine Live-Kamera, ein paar Silikon-Bauchmuskeln und eine Frage: Wie ›macht‹ ein Körper Männlichkeit? MAKING OF A MAN von Quindell Orto beginnt wie ein TED-Talk und navigiert durch Popkultur, Politik und persönliche Interviews, bevor es zu einer eher einnehmenden Erkundung der porösen Behälter wird, die wir für unsere männliche Identität bauen. Wer darf Männlichkeit ›ausüben‹ und wie? Und welches Potenzial liegt darin, die starren Codes von Männlichkeit zu aufzubrechen? Am 22. März in Hannover – Tickets über unseren Linktree!

One dancer, a projection screen, a live camera, a set of silicone abs, and a question: How does a body ›do‹ masculinity? MAKING OF A MAN by Quindell Orton starts out like a TED talk, navigating through pop culture, politics, and personal interviews, before becoming a more slippery exploration of the leaky containers we build for masculine identity. Who gets to ›do‹ masculinity and how? And what potential lies in unsettling masculinity's rigid codes? On 22 March in Hanover – tickets via our link tree!

Fascism weaponizes the #ToxicMasculinity trait of never admitting you're wong. This is made even worse by the fact that they were swindled by a tier C grifter from Queens.

Combine that with American Exceptionalism & the desire for comfort over all and ~1/2 of America is still denying the reality in front of them.

#TonicMasculinity is swallowing your pride, listening to those being harmed long before you & speaking up for them. Especially if your voice is louder than theirs.

Amanda Marcotte on guns, violence against women, & #MelGibson: "Recently, Vice President JD Vance complained, "our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge." He pretended that it's about telling men they can't "tell a joke," when the real problem is men punching women in the face and sexually assaulting them in department store dressing rooms."
