When men express certain feelings in ways that don’t differentiate them from women, they risk being treated like women by other men: disrespected, dehumanized, even violated. Instead of using this as a path to solidarity with women, most men just cry for system reform that more fully includes them.

Men’s feelings don’t need more space and attention, their feelings need to stop being a special gendered concern entirely. They don’t need more spaces special for Men and their allegedly unique Man feelings. They need to understand them as a common human experience they share in common with women.

OMFG...😮 Way to announce with your whole fucking chest that you misunderstood the point of the movie.

Imagine if this had been done to a Charlie Kirk memorial. Immediate FBI and DOJ investigations plus invocation of martial law.

Don't forget about Fred Hampton

Here is some history on the Emmett Till memorial

They also did it in Charlottesville. I know a lot of people thought her death would move the political needle but they are just going to call her a race traitor in their little groups just like they did white protesters during the height of the Civil Rights movement. These people love to hate.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

Thinking about how much we've lost because of hate campaigns against female, POC, LGBTQ ("woke") centered media. Angry, entitled white men have ruined so much in this country. (Will forever be bitter we didn't get more Acolyte.)

Reminded of the tweet from a guy who ran a support group for men who complained about men poisoning it by turning everything to misogyny. Men in the replies attacked him, presumed him a woman, & demanded men be allowed to turn their spaces into incel retreats.

Another article that could have been decent if the author(s) abandoned their concern for men’s feelings and focused on men’s power instead. But alas here we are with another piece suggesting that things could be fixed if we just didn’t let men get so sad and lonely.

Yeah yeah yeah sure let’s “jump ahead” of the complaints about the lack of explanatory power of our core argument. A one-sentence sneering aside in parentheses should do it. Once you remind people that men are isolated and lonely they don’t read much more anyway because they’re too busy crying.

I don't care about the director & haven't seen her other movies but I've been seeing some criticism of Promising Young Woman, much of the same criticism when it came out, so I'm going to defend it again because it was a frustrating, depressing but useful movie.

Recently binged the Netflix animated Tomb Raider series & thought it was excellent. I saw some comments as I was finishing that it had been canceled. (Fuck you, Netflix.) Looked up to confirm & articles said it was due to poor viewership & negative reception.

Catholicism/Christianity as I’ve experienced it is basically scolding all the way down

Because the right (& a lot of liberal/left men accept this framing) consider it feminine when the left shames exploitation or bigotry, so "scolding," while the right's incessant crying is masculine & "just telling it like it is."

Publicists who represented Johnny Depp during his 2022 trial against Amber Heard charged Jeffrey Epstein five figures a month for representation during 2017, according to invoices in the Epstein Files. Their PR strategies for Epstein reflect the later MeToo backlash. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-jo...

I'm not the account for abuse apologists. I stand with victims of domestic violence & sexual abuse, incl ones people find unlikable. Do not bring misogynistic hate campaigns to my page Imagine still doing that after all the damage anti-MeToo smears have done while we can't get pedophiles prosecuted

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Isn't it interesting that the men who complain about men not being appreciated or portrayed positively cheer a man being executed for trying to help a woman? A nurse who cared about his community deserved to die but wah, we don't have enough appreciation of noble men.

These professors and university leaders being cozy with Epstein and even sending female students his way is a disturbing reminder of why sexual violence is rampant on college campuses. It’s a deeply rooted culture and Title IX offices make things worse for victims, not better

Every time she worriedly rushes to make sure you aren’t annoyed; every time she decides not to ask for what she needs; every time she’s relieved and grateful over common, coequal courtesy — that’s you benefitting from the violence of other men. That’s you being the hero over nothing.

What Peter Thiel did to Gawker proved that you can’t have billionaires and a free press at the same time.

It is a brutal, devastating episode, one that insists knighthood is not about glory or lineage, but about perseverance, loss, and the terrible cost of standing back up when the world keeps knocking you down.

You mean to tell me that the anti-abortion woman is worried about a kid that isn’t even real?!

It's also part of a very direct negation of the latest stupid tweet by Musk: people have given so much, two of them their lives, to defend a multicultural city and the rights of people not exactly like them. And that multiculturalism is American culture.

I'm at their second benefit show right now. (They just opened their 3rd set with "American Idiot.) These white suburban parents are wearing t-shirts with slogans like "RADICALIZED BY BASIC HUMAN DECENCY" and "NO ONE IS ILLEGAL ON STOLEN LAND BUILT BY STOLEN HANDS." (4/?)

The president is a rapist. This country needs to admit the evidence is there and impeach him, or admit it the evidence is there and that they simply don’t care. Just fucking admit it. Stop ripping the ground out from beneath our feet and telling us we must have tripped.

This documentary assured me they float on their backs with snacks on their bellies.

I do not celebrate valentine's day because my family's long-held tradition of taking a principled stand against capitalism (my dad was ̶c̶h̶e̶a̶p̶ frugal & bought us clearance valentines the day after). After he died we continued this righteous economic protest (savings).

the enforcers of patriarchy aren’t incentivized to prosecute the crimes of patriarchy

I want people to really understand and grapple with how bad it is for victims and all of us to live in a system where sexual violence is not punished, but victims are punished more for coming forward. I need people to see it for what it is so that we can actually do something about it

A lot of people frustrated with this regime's protection of child rapists but feminists have been screaming this is how the system works forever. Especially the vilification of victims & dismissing them as "false accusations."

Not just refusal to act, but retaliation, too. Publishing unredacted information that puts them in danger, including nude photos, while redacting and withholding files containing information about perpetrators.

The complete refusal from the Department of Justice and FBI to investigate the allegations in the Epstein Files and made by Epstein survivors is also proof of what victims everywhere go through every day when authority figures refuse to do anything about what happened to them

This is the second year in a row that Missouri legislative had to pass a law for allowing for finalization of a divorce during pregnancy. Even with a similar bill passed last year the courts still upheld the 70s era law. Hopefully they don't have to do it a 3rd time.

This is required reading, and I share the philosophy. If you’ve got a problem with that, you need to look within yourself because that’s where the actual problem lies.

The ones who fold will forever be remembered as the ones who folded. It's his Covid "strategy"--"stop testing and Covid will go away"--all over again.

It also hurts my feelings that a lot of "good" people associate with men who hurt women but claim they didn't know, forgot, can't judge, or don't believe the accusations. And those associations give the impression that a guy is safe.

When men say "it hurts my feelings when women give us tests, are scared, fail to exclude me when describing men," it hurts my feelings that men sexually assault us. Then blame women for trusting the wrong guy, which women should know but also not restrict men's access by being cautious.

I also learned a lot of people prefer to not be discomforted by holding men they like accountable for their abuses. People I thought were good. (A lesson I already knew personally, a lot of men will wait for a vulnerable moment, or person, to pounce.)

I learned from this no matter how well they wear the mask & play the role, they can still be predators. Anyone can be deceived. Had someone asked me if he was safe, I'd have likely said I didn't know him well but he seemed kind.

Going to reshare an old Twitter thread about why I don't vouch for men. Because I know it isn't EVERY man, but it could be ANY man. People should consider do you really want to lend your reputation to a potential predator.

Sometimes it isn't even misinterpreted. There's just an assumption that every woman is "secretly" available. Another reason they insist women smile & present as warm & inviting. Then they can claim she led him on.

Explain gay to your kids? Buddy, I’m going to have to explain straight to my kids. You guys have it easy

This is coercion by the way. Similar reasoning behind public proposals. He's humiliating her & putting her on the spot for his super sad feelings & hollow claims of love. ("Love of his life" whom he cheated on after 3 months of knowing her.)

This is a regime radicalizing on a trajectory that, if not stopped, culminates in genocide. This is another step in its radicalization process: one that Nazi Germany took as well before it came to its ’Final Solution.’
