if someone claims to be feminist but doesn’t support this, then they aren’t a feminist
IMPORTANT!!!
^^truth.
Usually I can shrug this shit off but “man up” has always pissed me off. I’ll act however I fucking want, it won’t change my genitals.
Yes. This is how our sexist society hurts men and teaches them to keep themselves, other men, queer people, and women in their places
All of this toxic behavior comes from the Consumer Culture.
All of it!
It originates from Madison Avenue advertising, (including Hollywood) over years and years.
This is how the Consumer Culture controls Men, by making money through shame, arrogance, lies, selfishness, lack of self control and showing disrespect.
Here’s an exercise for all you Men…….
Go through each of the comments above and match each one to the opposite of the Moral Virtues of Manliness listed below.
I’ll do the first one for you:
Boys don’t cry, Pink is a girl’s color, boys don’t play with dolls
Humility – Arrogance – Yup, arrogant comments for sure.
Integrity – Lying – Yup, Boys DO cry (it makes them human!) pink is NOT just for girls, sometimes boys play with toys that can be seen as dolls.
Selflessness – Selfish behavior – Not much here.
Self control – Lack of Self Control – Not much here
Showing Respect – Disrespectful – Yup. Boys don’t cry, shows disrespect for basic human behavior and a lack of emotional intelligence.
Try these out for all the comments above.
The beauty of the Moral Virtues is you can use them as yardsticks to measure Manliness in any Man. Just take each virtue and apply it to observed behavior.
The Moral Virtues listed above are a part of Manliness, produced and nurtured by fighting.
The Martial Culture is truly a moral culture, while the Consumer Culture has little regard for morals, with the only goal to make money by using and discounting Men.

There are three major types of spiritual practice: first, reaching the spirit by rewarding the body, through ritual feasting, drug-taking and sex; second, reaching the spirit by denying the body, through fasting, cleansing and purification; and third, by abandoning the physical entirely and attempting to reach the numinous entirely via the life of the mind. In this essay, entitled “Bed, Bath and Beyond”, I will
To anyone who follows me, identifies as a woman (or any gender other than male) I have one piece of advice for you – do NOT go into the gaming industry. It sounds horrible, but this is the NORM. Two people lost their livelihood because of roughly three tweets, and then the overreaction of a veritable horde of hateful assholes. A man who had worked for ArenaNet for TWELVE YEARS was fired for defending a woman on Twitter, and I’m absolutely positive the fired him to shield themselves from utterly justified accusations of gender discrimination. Everything about this is wrong, and also par for the course. If you play GW2, ArenaNet just fired a significant chunk of the team who writes the stories you engage with. Guess who they’ll probably replace them with?
The gaming industry will destroy your soul, your sanity, your body. It will expose you to abuses you didn’t even realize exist. You will be expected to perform for men who think rape threats are appropriate responses to the fact you EXIST.
I spent six years in the gaming industry, and it is a nightmare. It is getting worse instead of better, and I can confirm that table top gaming is as bad as video games, if not worse.
Gaming is not safe for you. At this point I question if it will ever be safe. You are worth more than pixels.
I have two friends in the gaming industry who are women, and honestly, listening to some of the shit they go through on a regular, daily basis boils my fucking blood.
This scene never fails to make me laugh like a loon every time I watch it and that makes me mad
Okay so one thing that always bugged me was “what happened immediately before this” and I think I’ve narrowed it down to two options:
Option A: Stan turned on the TV the old fashioned way, sat down, and realized too late what channel the TV was turned to
Option B: Stan turned on the TV however the heck he pleased, then proceeded to dissociate for several hours until The Duchess Approves brought him out of it
