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.

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.

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

They're the female equivalwnt of toxic masculinity. Don't let toxic femininity hurt you.

Because you're seen as pushing back on the feminist agenda. Funny thing, feminism is about equality, not reversing roles nor pushing down individuals.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 3 hours ago

The movement may have started as equality, but it has clearly been either co-opted by bad faith agents, misandrists, and career sociopaths.

Same type of people who think they're feminists but then openly laugh at the idea of the male loneliness epidemic
