After seeing some feminist and LGBT+ works (mostly superhero stuff or writers who used to work on superheros) that unintentionally promote toxic masculinity ideals, I wonder if a rebuttal work is possible 

I’m brought to mind the old horror story Medea de Carpi, the ghost of a woman who has the heart of a conqueror and ruler who is killed after seizing power by those who refuse to bow to a woman, and as a ghost kills any man who falls in love with her and seeks to tame her.

Just because there are unfair double standards, doesn’t mean the victim of hypocrisy is right. It may mean those in power are wrong to be praised for it, and should be demonized as well.

A thread on "real men."

[transport-methodology-101]

“Chopper” referred to a bike that has all the extra goodies chopped off to provide a bike with the minimum essentials required for operation (some call these “Bobbers” but that’s another post ‼️) with a stealthy laidback and relaxed “cool” look. It’s hallmarks is its distinctively stretched-out front end, achieved by extending the front forks and altering the rake angle, giving it its signature extended appearance. First choppers were built in America 🇺🇸 Thoroughly detailed with evolution from “Bobbers” to “Choppers “:-

Banging absolutely screaming radio that who knows is playing outside reminds me of the hilarity of people dissing pop as "women's music and listening to it makes you gaaayyy" while somehow solo work from a literal former N'Sync member gives them macho street cred.

Just...the sheer cognitive dissonance is staggering.

I understand that macho-ism needs to go, and that men can be delicate, vulnerable, broken flowers, struggling with mental diseases like depression and anorexia, just like women do.

#loymachedo shares an ACTUAL INCIDENT - YOUR OPINION? Was waiting at the Pedestrian Crossing. The street light was Red as I stood waiting with a few ladies in the front. A well-dressed guy in a grey suit at the back was screaming expletives on his iPhone. "You F*&^#ing Bitch - I will $^#K every hole of yours" etc etc etc....Because I AM A F&^%ing MAN...until suddenly one of the ladies in the front, turned around and whacked him with a slap across his face - so hard - his iPhone flew off to one side - and he stood there thunderstruck with his mouth open in shock! And before he could say anything - all the ladies started hitting him. He grabbed his phone and ran off to the other side. So much for "I AM A F&^%ing MAN" 😛 #shocking #women #men #feminism #machoism (at Buheira Cornice, Sharjah)

Trumpism is hyper-masculinity; self-destructive machoism.
