Whilst I try to enter every conversion with an open mind, I won’t lie, whenever someone starts talking about ‘patriarchy’ this, and ‘toxic masculinity’ that, I roll my eyes and find myself acting as a parent would, when their child once again grabs hold of the microphone, to unleash a diatribe of incoherent babble.
I hear reductive, meaningless, and shame-laden neologisms pepper discourse, stoke division, and erode the value and mental health of men and boys.
I watch as we routinely and systematically deride ‘men’, and name everything bad in the world after them.
How we insult and gaslight men, pathologising innate parts of who they are as ‘toxic’, to be expunged, exorcised or corrected.
We frame men as collectively responsible.
We blame them for things they never did and are horrified by.
This slow drip of such hateful ideas naturally impacts the group consciousness of society, who have now learnt to dislike men too; including men, who continue to take their own lives in record numbers.
And whilst this ‘men vs women’ narrative might sell your angry book, look great on a placard, or shift tickets to expensive ‘positive masculinity’ workshops where the self-righteous flagellate themselves, and proselytize, with whines and crocodile tears – such ideas have little efficiency in the realm of real life.
Such ideas don’t work. Such ideas often make things worse.
They make little sense and are thankfully rejected by most of the world.
Still, damage is being done, and ought to be discussed.
So, what do you think of the profile of men, now found to be the most disliked demographic of all?
And what can we do to reframe people’s minds to value, treasure and respect men, as we do women?
What do you think?

Nobody who lives in a western country lives in a "patriarchy."
As evidenced by this very simple question: who are you allowed to criticize and villainize with impunity, with no expectations of repercussions?
If you lived in an actual "patriarchy," you couldn't complain about the "patriarchy." You'd suffer government and societal repercussions. Like Iran, Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan.
Pretending you're the same makes you vile and repugnant. Western women are the freest, most self-determining, prosperous people who have ever walked the face of the planet at any time ever.

more cisgender women should be looking at cisgender boys' puberty as a menopause preview, honestly. i find that cis men treat menopause with more pause, ironically, because they recognise the emotional/physical rollercoaster - gee, your body is suddenly sweating absolute buckets and smelling way outside of your control? you feel gross, you keep growing patchy hairs in new itchy places, and summers have suddenly become unbearable? woof, been there done that, let's get you an ice pack and some gatorade buddy, i mean mom
until menopause hits them, cis women (among others) can sometimes treat male puberty as a gross horror that they are forced to mitigate the consequences of - ugh, men with their hair and their smelliness that they can't keep sanitised, it's a concession to live with them, it's a chore to share space with them. you know it's not just a Boy Hormone, right? this exact same testosterone will jump you in a dark alley 30 years from now, you can accept it before then or keep treating it like an enemy latched onto those around you
#i'm not menopause or puberty age so as a twenty-something i realised i can pick and choose what to equate my transition to#and it makes me wonder why they dont get equated more often in a more genuine empathetic fashion#lgbt#gender#i wish there was a way to tag for bigotry against men that didnt fall into a tag that someone out there would call misogynist lol#bigotry against male bodies. whatever. bigotry against male gonad hormone effects on a body whatever gender it may be#transandrophobia#i guess since im a trans man and i feel uniquely crammed into these expectations and this distaste for what im choosing to do#also this applies to more people than just cis women but they often dont think about maleness as something AT ALL relevant to them#other people may have to work through distaste for hair/maleness alongside their gender exploration for similar self-love reasons

those both sides are bad morons are just undercover greens lmao
i sincerely question these peoples intelligence
bc it is clear that this both sides are bad bs is just a way to sneakily justify the greens bc they know that supporting the greens outright is tantamount to admitting that they’re misogynists
they are intelligent enough to know that taking the greens side outright is a bad look but are too stupid to realize that claiming both sides are bad is just as idiotic of a stance to take
they also completely lack self awareness because they don’t even realize that taking the both sides are bad stance is a misogynistic stance as well
the worst part is that these people sincerely believe that they are enlightened and correct
you people need to get your heads checked bc there is only one correct side and it’s the blacks
btw this green vs black bs is just trump vs hillary
both candidates fucking sucked ass and deserve to rot in hell but one side was infinitely better than the other
pssst hillary was the better choice
literally look at what has happened to women’s rights in america after trump became president. fucking look. now look at what has happened to westerosi noblewomen and their obvious decline of power after rhaenyra was murdered.
ofc rhaenyra isn’t even close to being as awful as hillary, but you couldn’t convince me that book aegon isn’t trump just not orange and show aegon seems to be getting there
#anti hotd#team black#anti team green#hotd fandom critical#rhaenyra and hillary need to be eternally suffering doe eyed bitches for these people to consider supporting them#but aegon like trump gets all his shit excused by these same fuckers#‘both sides are bad’ shuuuuutttt uppp morons#acting like rhaenyra and the blacks are as bad as the greens is as hilarious as acting like hillary was as bad as trump#rhaenyra sitting on the throne for a few decades would’ve done wonders for all women all across westeros#just as hillary winning the election would’ve done wonders for women in america#george absolutely cooked with fire and blood#he was spot on with everything and the effects rhaenyra dying early would have on westeros#cause look at what hillary losing has led to for women#george may fail at the numbers game but he only takes Ws with his views on social inequality#and how social inequality effects his characters

*it cut off my last tags which were: I don't know what I can do about this but in the meantime it's a struggle
#random personal stuff#back on my soapbox feel free to ignore#okay so I have been struggling a bit in the Sunday school class that I am being taken to#which is not surprising because I have been struggling socially in this church for the past year#it's a women's class taught by the pastor's wife but not all the women in the church are in it#most of them are middle-aged/elderly#what we're learning is perfectly fine#I appreciate that they're going through an epistle and not lecturing us on How To Be Good Wives and Mothers#but the other women will chime in with their thoughts in between discussions of doctrine#and it will be things like empty little slogans#(such as 'Choose joy!' or 'GodisgoodallthetimeandallthetimeGodisgood')#(not that there isn't any truth in those but they're used tritely)#or What The Lord Did For Me (or: My Life Is Perfectly Peachy)#or things that suggest their faith is all about never being upset by anything ever because you Have Peace#and I kind of wonder if this is a generational thing#because sometimes I'll call my mom with something that's troubling me#and she'll tell me things to the effect of 'just don't feel that way'#or 'ask the Lord to take it away'#which is kindly meant but ultimately ineffective in my experience#but anyway I'm sure these women mean what they say yet at the same time it just...feels insincere to me#as if as Christians we're just supposed to paste smiles on our faces and never have negative feelings#I'm not saying we should all come to class and dispense our personal dramas#but it feels like we're showing up and performing Niceness#and not allowing room for anything that isn't Easy Answers Positivity#and I sit there feeling like there's a huge invisible brick wall around me#and I'm sure that's a me problem#but...I don't know what I'm trying to articulate here sorry#I guess I don't know how to interact with these people because nothing seems real#and we can progress no further than the smallest of small talk because heaven forbid we let our real honest selves slosh over in public#and it's draining!

Wait why would he take out Good girls off his Bio wasn’t that like his break out role or something 😭😭😂. And is that like a normal thing to do to take work off your résumé?  I don’t know anything about Hollywood lol but anyways, very interesting. 😂👀 ☕️ also thank you for answering my ask :) I’ve been trying to find more about the short film but I couldn’t find anything. Do you know anything about it!!? Cool that they’re both working with such a stacked cast That’s awesome.
Mmm, I'd say Graceland would probably have been his breakout role as it seems to me to be what saw him transition from guest roles to series regular roles, but it's definitely his most significant recent role given Mayans was a one-season arc and his roles in Westworld and All American were so small.
He's still got Good Girls on his resume, but to drop it from his bio and replace it with a project that's not even out yet (Ironheart) [how can you be 'known' for a role no one's seen you in yet?] and an older project (The Mule) is definitely a Choice and I think likely indicates that he's trying to distance himself from the role and the show. It happens, but I think it's a pretty interesting choice given he doesn't really have many upcoming projects outside of Ironheart which has been delayed to 2025.
But yes! I haven't found much about the short film either! I'm curious as to what it might lead to. Given the number of people in it, I lowkey wonder if it's a proof-of-concept short for a bigger project, but who knows. Guess we'll just have to wait and see :-)
#the addition of him being married and having a child in his bio is actually the weirdest thing to me#it's just such a strange thing to put in as a part of your professional descriptor / what's effectively your business card#i kinda wonder if its to do with what some women say to him in his insta comments and presumably dms too lol#i can't imagine his professional team was behind it#but yeah i think he's also really really relying on ironheart to be Big rn tbh#gg cast#welcome to my ama

You sympathize with the self-proclaimed "femcel" because they are women and they actually HAVE romantic options — many of them even had boyfriends and everything but you are just ridiculously stupid and idiot to admit about being wrong

happy n7 day pals! ❤
i used to try and make something every year for n7 day, whether it was art or a sappy post or something, but i've had...no energy lately so i've got nothing chief
it is, however, worth noting that baby 18 year old me picked up this series for the first time 10 years ago (almost to the day), and it truly blew my mind, put everything i'd learned up until that point into question, and i came out of it still confused but 100% more gay
i met my partner 7+ years ago and the thing that got us talking in the first place was mass effect
now we live together and have a cat
live your gay bioware dreams friends <3 i wish many more N7 days and mass effect playthroughs to people like me who might be questioning themselves and for it to give them the kick they need
#it used to be a running joke between me and my friends that mass effect made me gay#'you're a conservative's nightmare. u played a video game and it made u realise u liked women'#like i was already gay deep down sure but the wombo combo of mass effect & leaving for uni really worked wonders to expedite the process#anyway sorry for rambles its whatever#my posts#mass effect#n7 day 2024#n7 day

The political opinions of so many are predicated on the base level belief that ‘the world hates women’.
It is from this limited understanding, that our current conception of ‘structural sexism’ is born.
The belief that those in positions of power, who are men, are actively uplifting other men like them, whilst trampling upon women and girls.
And it makes sense at face value.
‘The Patriarchy’ is how many will describe this belief - the world dislikes women - and heaps an extra portion or two of privilege onto the plate of its favourite child: ‘man’.
The problem with this theory is that it often lies in stark contrast to what actual research tells us – the typical finding that both women and men actually hold more favourable views of women.
‘Women like women, more than men like men’ as the APA puts it (and nearly five times more at that).
But there is yet another hidden layer beneath this too… that men also like women, more than they like men.
And with that, ‘patriarchy theory’ takes a direct blow to the very core of its credibility.
Because actually, most people prefer women over men, rather than the other way around.
This phenomenon is well established and studied, and observed across generations, and in dozens of countries around the world.
It’s called the ‘Women Are Wonderful Effect’, and it describes how, in general, people associate more good things with women, and more bad things with men.
So is it time we question the notion of ‘a world that dislikes women’, and honestly asked ourselves, does the world like men any better?
What do you think?

Abstract
Little is known about implicit evaluations of complex, multiply categorizable social targets. Across five studies (N = 5,204), we investigated implicit evaluations of targets varying in race, gender, social class, and age. Overall, the largest and most consistent evaluative bias was pro-women/anti-men bias, followed by smaller but nonetheless consistent pro-upper-class/anti-lower-class biases. By contrast, we observed less consistent effects of targets' race, no effects of targets' age, and no consistent interactions between target-level categories. An integrative data analysis highlighted a number of moderating factors, but a stable pro-women/anti-men and pro-upper-class/anti-lower-class bias across demographic groups. Overall, these results suggest that implicit biases compound across multiple categories asymmetrically, with a dominant category (here, gender) largely driving evaluations, and ancillary categories (here, social class and race) exerting relatively smaller additional effects. We discuss potential implications of this work for understanding how implicit biases operate in real-world social settings. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

Xians reveal too much about themselves when they say that without their god's rules, there would be endless murdering, rape, theft, etc. It's what they would do.
"Patriarchy" theory proponents do the same thing. They assume that men are as biased towards men as they are to women. It's what they would do.
All it really does is confesses to us their own bias, and that their claims aren't based on evidence. Which we already know.

Okay and? The canon s5 outfits sucked, we did Not get good post canon nygmobs idk 🤷♀️
at least I feel robbed of decent menswear anyway
#We could've had Oswald in fur. Again#We could have at least had a fat suit that fit him properly and looked like a human body#dont get me wrong im glad he's canonically fat but we also could have had no fat suit at all bc the effect was ugly and those are demeaning#I keep wondering if the budget got slashed for Pennyworth to be made off the back end of it#Because otherwise I don't understand like. Costume departments have clothes that are both higher and lower quality and#Could be spun either way#need people to get out of my ear telling me the show sucks tbh#I think I would not like Gotham if it were Actually good#Except for the misogyny I very specifically wish Gotham didn't hate women so much#My series rewrite is exactly the same except women are treated better#Note: I do not have a series rewrite because I don't care abt anything going on in the show except whatever penguin is doing#And a rewrite would require me to care about something else

am i allowed to give my witcher OCs and witcher characters with no canon design silly little hats…
maybe the answer is “not only allowed am i Allowed, but i am Compelled and even moreso—Required”
#txt#i sooo want to design a Silly Hat for nimue#i think i am because cdpr did it and tbh it was kind of fire asf… but it didnt always fit the characters they designed…#first thing you should know about the witcher: everyone has some kind of headgear. headband hat little band or tie or whatever#except probably some sorceresses because they have their Freeflowing Hair but even so like visenna and assire have/had headwear#honestly im really interested in nilfgaardian sorceress fashion because it’s supposed to be more modest/less caring about impressing people#and i wonder if some of that attitude bled into / mixed northern attitudes after the witch hunts!!#a modest northern sorceress is a HILARIOUS idea in the mid 1200s but maybe is not so strange in the 1300s or even 1400s#i also think it would be interesting because we typically think of fashion getting more provocative and less covering as time goes on#but that really doesn’t have to be the case at all + i think it would be interesting to see the effect of cold weather and climate change#on fashion particularly women’s fashion and necklines. i know sorceresses can magic themselves to not be cold but why use magic if you could#just put more fabric on? it’s such a fuss and anyways i’m rambling but i just would love to explore a logical progression of fashion
