Very much this. Masculinity is fine. It's that there's just sorta a low key sexism that's been tied to it, similar to femininity, and it's been tied to it for so long that I think people don't know how to seperate the two all that well

Yeah.

Again, being LGBT+ probably helps in that your very identity necessitates you challenging certain expectations regarding one's own gender, expression and roles, and when you get there you've got a vibrant and genuinely varied constellation of subcultures through which you can explore your masculinity or femininity freely and guilt-free.

Masculinity that's not sexist is it. It's a very simple thing really. You can be a big buff knight in armor who slays demons and bathes in their blood to increase your genital size. It's only toxic when things get tacked onto that like an idea that women are weaker or that only men can slay demons.

Would you consider men being expected to pay for meals and buy the flowers sexist? What about rings?

And? We're not doing that here. So don't bring that up as a point of contention against us.

So would the male in a relationship beeing expected to be a physical protector and do manual labor be sexist?

Things are usually easier with men.

I don't know if they are actually easier in general, but I guess that there is a lack of those overwhelming and confusing expectations when it comes to flirting and dating that can be the death of shy straight guys with no experience.

You don't seem to understand the concept very well.

Everyone thinking they are correct doesn't make them all correct,


I never said it did. If you knew how to read, you'd know that.

You seem to very think it did since you believe someone can be "more correct" than someone else.

and attempting to use someone's perceived authority as the only basis for them being correct is fallacious.


I never said it should be the only basis. I've already said as much. You have a serious problem with thinking I'm saying the exact opposite of what I actually am.

I assume that's why you tried to dismiss my entire argument based only on me being a man, and then disagreed with appeal to authority being a fallacious argument. :rofl:

There is no such thing as "more correct" or "truly correct".


Fucking of course there is. That's the entire reason the concept of 'accuracy' exists.

Apparently you don't understand this concept.

Someone having authority does not make them automatically right about something. Now stop acting like it does.

It can be, but that wouldn't be toxic masculinity, that would be toxic femininity (As I've also gone over).

I physically cannot, so why bother? All I can do is try to bring attention to the ever increasing spectre of social isolation, which threatens an increasing number of people as the structure of our society alienates us further from our fellow humans.


Matrifocalism was fetishized by feminists and put into practice in many senses and the consequences are largely what they wanted to happen. Modern feminists like to pretend the current single-mothers dynamic is patriarchy or out of the blue and don't like to acknowledge their predecessors did it on purpose because they looked up to matrifocal tribes as utopian and viewed families as the result of male violence against women.

Driving men out of society and into an isolation where they are allowed to briefly impregnate women before returning to isolation. An example is this one indian tribe where all the men were warriors and don't live in the village, the women raised children, did everything else and all that, and the two lived separately. If a man tried to stay, the women would drive him out.

The social isolation feminists have helped to impose on men through their hostility to them, their role in the family, their social groups and so on, is a major problem. It's not just caused by feminists, but they have a large share of the blame.

It's like boars.
Female boars raise all the kids and the pack moves around by itself. Male boars leave the pack and wander around alone and isolated, sometimes impregnating another boar. Male boars live far less long.

That's matrifocalism. That's what many feminists thought things should be like and its reflected in their policy demands and advocacy. Modern feminists are just engaged in another round of denying atrocities their movement imposed on society.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

This is where I step into ideology a little bit. I don't think "toxic masculinity" plays a massive role in it. What I think is totally indispensable to the mindset is radical social isolation. When you're radically socially isolated, you are very easy to influence, because you have only a very small amount of social cues to base your view of the world off of. That's why incels think that everyone goes out and has casual sex multiple times per weekend. Most incels don't care about being seen as alpha males, and even look down on this group of people. We shouldn't dismiss the desire for companionship as being the result of toxic masculinity and not as a natural urge that can become warped when it is not met. Medical studies have long shown that people with many friends and people with partners are emotionally and physically healthier.

None of those are particularly masculine, just proper behavior. Are you trying to say that non-toxic masculinity, is not masculine?
