Until there's a liberal space for men, it's going to cause them to flock to lying conservatives. There, they will be indoctrinated by weird, stupid conservative bullshit that has nothing to do with any of this.
What is a liberal space for men? That means nothing.
Liberal narratives paint men as aggressive rapists at worst, and toxic manipulative sociopath at best. Liberal narratives onstantly evoke "tHe pATriArcHy" and "tOxic mAsCuLinity" hiding misandry behind pseudointellectualism
'Toxic masculinity' is referring specifically to masculinity that is toxic. It's not referring to masculinity as a whole as toxic.
Pushes in glasses "uuum ackshually that's not what it means"
Yeah no shit, tell that to the people on social media where the majority of popular discord takes place. And pretending that the meaning of the two isn't obfuscated is disingenuous. At the end of the day it's all antipositivists theory garbage that reads more like a political treatise than academic study.
Exactly. Feminist terminology like "toxic masculinity" and "patriarchy" has been very carefully chosen to be misandrist enough to result in the intended widespread popular demonization of men that we've seen over the past few decades, while also giving feminists enough deniability to gaslight with "that's not what the terms ackchually mean though".
The misandry is a feature, not a bug.
Bingo
