“There is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood—of the fact that you owe things to other people.” - Jamelle Bouie I could not agree more with this article & not just because I, too, was raised to be an asshole man & still have to beat that motherfucker inside me down all the goddamn time. Talk to your fucking boys. If they get mad at you they weren't your friends to begin with. https://buttondown.com/monteiro/archive/how-to-help-men-pull-their-heads-out-of-their/ #equality #masculinity #feminism #MikeMonteiro

Kevin MacFarland offers valuable analysis of the timeline of radicalization that led to Anthony Kazmierczak's attack on Ilhan Omar. Note the key points: two divorces followed by apparent rage when a Black girlfriend broke up with him: a man with employment difficulties, financially unstable, apparently unable to maintain healthy relationships with women. Perfect pickings for MAGA — and rage against Omar. #Trump #IlhanOmar #MAGA #masculinity #men /6

"The shooting in Minneapolis is a perfect microcosm of what the right has done to the idea of being a man. They have warped their own brains into believing that cultish, boot-licking obedience to an undeserving man is something to be proud of. They have convinced themselves that using strong words, unaccompanied by action, is enough to make them real men." ~ Lincoln Square #AlexPretti #Trump #MAGA #masculinity #men /1

"They have shot down true masculinity in the street and replaced it with the fragility of trigger-happy men who have nothing but hate in their hearts and unsatisfied wives in their beds. There is a war on masculinity — and Trump is waging it." #AlexPretti #Trump #MAGA #masculinity #men /2

"[Stephen Miller] goes by the pronoun he, Himmler." ~ David Shuster #AlexPretti #Trump #StephenMiller #MAGA #masculinity #men /3

"The whole thing about Ilhan Omar, I think there are going to be very few articles about that because I don't think white men are going to write about that topic and how she must have felt in that moment. But there's this picture where her security guard or security guard is sort of protecting her from this this person." ~ Zuri Stevens #Trump #IlhanOmar #MAGA #masculinity #men /4

"And for me as a black woman, that image of her being protected really touched my heart because that's something that is so difficult." #Trump #IlhanOmar #MAGA #masculinity #men /5

How movies have explored manhood... For better and worse https://www.npr.org/2026/08/23/nx-s1-5901160/how-movies-have-explored-manhood-for-better-and-worse #Movies #Culture #Masculinity

Just because the privilege benefits you, critique of its injustice is not an attack on you. you fuckin crybaby dipshit #privilege #antifa #masculinity

♂️ “Over the past several decades, a new disorder has taken root among boys and young men – muscle dysmorphia. It’s characterised by the conviction that one’s body is not muscular or lean enough, no matter how large or defined it is. From the outside, it might look like an issue rooted in lack of body confidence or poor self-esteem, but there is something more profound going on.” #menshealth #masculinity #Men@menshealth@fedigroups.social

Another obvious example of a dangerously violent man who gravitated toward the #military #security #police #prison industrial complex. Look at #PeteHegseth, his ludicrous attempts to display #masculinity, his #racist, #sexist, and #abusive attitudes toward everyone, demanding #soldiers submit to forced anabolic #steroids hormone #doping. He clearly has #powerfantasies of inflicting #violence, #cruelty, and #brutality. He should not be allowed near other people, let alone #firearms #guns.

Rarely has fragile #masculinity been demonstrated more clearly than when the amateurish Secretary of Defence called for testing of the troops' testosterone levels. 🤡 #hegseth #fascism #gender

RE: https://helvede.net/@jwcph/116914586419979565 " - most men are good, but when one in ten men are shit & the other nine to nothing, they might as well not fucking be there. Being good on the inside counts for absolutely fuck-all." - Daniel Schloss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uZFHpEh5So#gender #masculinity #equality #responsibility

The pastor / queer culture A far-right pastor told American men that marijuana makes them "spiritually gay" — and that the cure is a cigarette. He praised a tobacco brand by name and called 60 years of cancer warnings a psyop. A man so terrified of softness he'd rather have cancer isn't a warning about us. He's a confession about him.https://twp.ai/4hs7Bv #QueerNews #Homophobia #Pride #TransRights #Masculinity #ChristianNationalism #Queer #ThistleAndMoss #TheGathering

Here is a feminist opinion about #safety, #security, #masculinity, #whiteness, #liberals and #progressists. It notably stated the need for a discourse incorporating sorrow and hope, on 9 November 2023: (he) https://politicallycorret.co.il/morroco-smol-3/ (en) https://politicallycorret.co.il/morroccan-left-3-en/ #leftWing #militancy #israel #israelPalestine #Mizrahi #Jewishness #theocracy #JewishState #feminisms #patriarchy #liberalism #israelApartheid #JewishSupremacy #brutalization #war #fragility #insecurity #entitlement #grief #grievability

Steve Rose's valuable report today about the AI "slopaganda" emanating from the White House is worth it for the ludicrous image of Trump as a muscled Luke Skywalker alone. #Trump #MAGA #masculinity #men /7
