k but imagine Rocky wanting to learn about how humans became the apex predators of their planet so he has Grace âhuntâ him in the biodome as an experiment and during it he thinks Grace isnât trying or taking it seriously which is bad bad bad because this is for research purposes
only for Rocky to get more and more tired as the experiment goes on just to realize that Grace isnât which makes him panic so he puts as much distance as he can between them and finds a (hopefully) safe spot to sleep and when he wakes up the human is crouching over him like âgot youuuâ and Rocky has never shrieked so damn loud before in his life

[ââMan box,â a term increasingly used by psychologists and advocates, refers to a very rigid set of behavior and personality rules men are expected to adhere to if they are to be safe from being challenged on their status as âreal men.â While women have spent the last few decades challenging traditional notions of femininity and breaking down barriers for increased rights, the same change has not happened for men.
In a 2017 study that surveyed more than one thousand young men in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Mexico, respectively, led by the organization Promundo, the man box is defined as the combination of seven pillars. The first pillar is self-sufficiency, or the idea that men should be self-reliant emotionally and physically. The second pillar is toughness, understood as the ability to display physical and emotional strength in all circumstances. The third pillar is physical attractiveness, achieved without signaling too much effort. The fourth pillar is fulfilling traditional gender roles, financially providing for a household, and avoiding tasks deemed feminine. The fifth pillar is being both straight and homophobic. The sixth pillar is being hypersexual with no ability to say no. The seventh pillar is having the final say at home, having control over womenâs movements, and the belief that violence and aggression are sometimes necessary tools to gain respect.
To be clear, these pillars, which are sometimes also referred to in the context of what is called âtoxic masculinity,â are not a positive list or a how-to for men; rather, they are a condensation of the restrictions imposed on men. Harsh emotional rules are not just for women but apply to men, tooâwith very different requirements and consequences. Gender performance and oppression, at its most harmful, is a tight, two-way street. Penalties for those who deviate are severe, and in some ways harsher for men than for women. Calling a girl a tomboy is mostly an affectionate description, but calling a boy a sissy is an insult. In a misogynistic world, anything at all feminine is tarnishing.
In the Promundo study, which interviewed 1,318 men in the United States aged eighteen to thirty across all backgrounds and demographics, representative of the overall populations, three quarters of the men agreed with the statement that âsociety as a whole tells me that guys should act strong even if they feel scared or nervous inside.â The one form of emotional labor men are actively socially trained to perform is emotion suppression, followed by displays of strength or aggression. Anything beyond is transgressive.
This kind of restricted emotion expression stands in huge contrast to what emotional labor usually refers toâas a form of work that prioritizes other people feeling good. In fact, many of the pillars are the perfect opposite of emotional labor, not only requiring men to cut themselves off from truly understanding and managing their own emotions but also, through the imperative of aggression and dominance, priming them to disregard the emotions of others, thereby centering their own.
In my interviews with men, this often made it feel like the topic of emotional labor was a complete dead end. This was not only because the concept of emotions requiring time, effort, and skill astonished them to the point of deep confusion but also because so many professed themselves to be nonemotional.
One of the men I interviewed, Jeff, a straight white man in his late thirties in a long-term relationship, was dumbfounded by the concept. After I repeatedly explained what emotional labor referred to, Jeff finally announced he had understood what I was talking about. He then proudly made another firm assertion. âI am not an emotional person, so I do not need emotional labor!â
As Jeff expressed the thought that emotional labor was irrelevant to him, I realized our interview would not last very long. I initially thought the interview would go into the unusable pile, but it soon dawned on me that Jeff was actually expressing the crux of the problem. âI am not a particularly emotive person,â he continued, âwhich I am sure is somewhat familiar for men. I am generally considered pretty flat.â
If the first man box pillar is in part the idea that men should be self-reliant emotionally and the second pillar is in part emotional toughness, it didnât take me long to understand that getting men to open up would also be asking them to violate core guidelines of gendered behavior. To an extent, all Jeff was really doing was refusing to play with those very rigid boundaries. But to another, Jeff was engaging in a bad-faith power play. By refusing to acknowledge the existence of his own emotions, Jeff was relinquishing the need for any emotional effort or the belonging to any emotional network, further rendering the work of others around him, absorbing and caring for his emotions, invisible.â]

Grace tries copying the tones using the keyboard.
Rocky hums. âClose. Skip first note.â
âWhy? You always include that.â
âThis means⊠of Rocky, possessive. Of the speaker.â
âMy.â
âCorrect. But only for names.â
âSo youâre calling meâŠ?â
Rocky repeats the word: âMy Grace. Yes.âÂ
Moved by the voices of everyone who dared to go on this journey together ,
They found light in one another.
For they were never meant to come back ,
And so they kept moving forward ,
Leaving behind one single message :
"We love you ."

I do genuinely think Andy Weir tried to make an alien no one would want to fuck and I think everyone has done such a great job turning around and giving him the middle finger. I really hope he has seen all the creative ways people have found to make it work. Like I know he has to have at least one friend clowing and sending him the alien porn and if he doesn't I just know he's a lurker. Either way, hi Andy! đ«°
i read an interview with a mathematician recently where she talks about the commonalities between math and literature and the idea that playfulness is a key part of doing both of those things. thereâs a lot of fun to be had in turning a concept over and over, finding novel ways to look at it or combine it with other things, and i think that idea of playfulness also applies to analysis + critique. looking at a story through different lenses to see what new insights you can gain, reading intertexts and learning about the context in which it was created. finding a new bit of theory and saying hey wait a minute, i can use this to talk about [insert favourite media here]! itâs fun!
if i can get on my professional educator soapbox for a moment i think the reason a lot of people struggle with the idea that analysis and critique can be fun is that our education system in general is not designed to make the intellectual process seem particularly fun, or like something that can be approached in a playful manner (see also: the mathematicianâs lament). thinking deeply about things for the sake of thinking deeply about things seems ridiculous because itâs associated with the stress of grades and too much homework and general bad pedagogy. it creates a lack of confidence in oneâs own intellectual abilities that makes even the act of trying seem like too much. and itâs not at all impossible to grow past this and find the fun in the intellectual process but you do have to push past a lot of that fear and anxiety first
hereâs the original article as well as a mathematicianâs lament
