Conservatives believe there are only 2 possible roles for a father, absent or abusive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

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

Someone had't recieved enough love from his father and wants to be an asshole about it

[–] FlyingSquid 51 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] AngryCommieKender 7 points 6 hours ago

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.

[–] Dkarma 11 points 7 hours ago

I love this. So gay

[–] SkunkWorkz 10 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

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.

There is nothing manlier than gay sex.

So having sex with women is feminine.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 hours ago

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.

"Somehow I feel more like a man when I'm wearing a dress"

[–] werefreeatlast -4 points 3 hours ago

Its too late for me, but if I could trade sex organs, sure I'll have the kids and wash dishes, and clean the house and ho shopping and feed a everyone and trade my career for the future of my kids as slaves to a company in the future... Basically I make workers for companies... Sure I would do it.... But nah, you girls got this! Go women go!

We might wanna make things easier for women. We could start with pockets. Then maybe make all front parking spaces for women only. The HOV lanes free for minivans. Cat calls get you 10 years in prison and possibility of becoming president (if you are a rich asshole). And pockets? Did I mention pockets? Bikini's better come with useful pockets. All bikes come without that stupid center bar. Motorbikes weigh exactly no more than 35lbs.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago
  • 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

I mean generally toxic masculinity comes with a healthy dose of homophobia on the side too

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

yeah i'd sub for Rihanna too

[–] Dkarma 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

No no don't give me incredible sex and a million dollars...nooooo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

No, I am a father to kids that have their future secured! Oh, my terrible fate!

[–] [email protected] 81 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

He loves his kids! What a fag!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

So when he loves his kids he gets called a fag.

When I love his kids I get arrested.

The double standards are insane.

Boys, we've done it.

It is now gay to be straight.

[–] kreskin 24 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] FlyingSquid 8 points 10 hours ago

So many people's porn fantasies just came true.

[–] yesman 152 points 17 hours ago (8 children)

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.

[–] credo 2 points 2 hours ago

I love this notion that “you’re not a real man” unless you do what real men tell you to. That is gold.

[–] Funkytom467 2 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

Banger quote at the end right there

[–] [email protected] 58 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (6 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (7 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Feminists missed out and are continuing to miss out on an opportunity to bridge the gap. Men aren't choosing Tate and Peterson because they're the best version of masculinity, they're choosing them because they're some of the only people telling men you don't have to hate yourself, and they're acknowledging that things really are challenging for men.

It's how Trump won too. While everyone was talking about how great things are, he was telling a different story: things were great, but they're a bit shit right now. While he named the wrong enemy (it's always oligarchs), most people wouldn't know that and were just happy to have someone call the issue out at all.

Feminists and Democrats have a choice now: take class and men's issues seriously, or keep losing ground. Given the latest events at the DNC, it doesn't sound like Democrats learned anything. Maybe the major feminist orgs are doing the necessary self-examination? I'm not hopeful to be frank, but I'm open to it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Given the latest events at the DNC

What did the DNC do?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 31 minutes ago

Chose seemingly every hill that isn't worker's rights and people's material wellbeing to die on, again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

How dare you want to exist as your preferred and best version of yourself!

Seriously though, I'm sorry to hear that. I've always felt comfortable with the gender I was born with and I can't imagine how hard it has to be to not feel that way. Not to mention being forced to interact with people who think you don't deserve to be the person you're happy with because it's makes them a little uncomfortable. They're ignorant assholes.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

This is one of the primary things pushing young men toward the right. I always try to point that out and advocate against the relentless bashing, but that just gets me called misogynist or told that they just need to suck it up and deal with it. It sucks.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

We need to tell men that it's okay for boys to cry, and that if someone hurts them we promise not to laugh at them, and we need to fucking mean it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Absolutely, but something needs to be done about all the girls on apps like tiktok who perpetuate this. "He cried and I got the ick" etc

[–] angrystego 1 points 2 hours ago

Fuck man. I'd love to be in his position lol.

Wife rich as fuck, hot as fuck, and all I gotta do is:

  1. support her and be taken around the world by her

  2. have sex with her

  3. stay at home and play with the kids and toys?

Have you seen the toys kids have now? That shit is fire and a thousand times better then the shit I had as a kid.

Homey is jealous that the grind he on didn't come with a heavy dose of luck, and all he's got is a Twitter Account run by a non-sleeping, ketamine dosing nazi.

I’d let Rihanna fuck me in the ass…just saying.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 12 hours ago

Nothing gay about being fucked by a woman.
