After his wife died, Rick Moranis quit his successful Hollywood career to raise his kids.

What a total homo.

Honey I Shrunk The Kids, So We Can All Fit In The Closet Together

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

I heard a rumor a year or so ago, that he might come back to do some passion projects, now that the kids are grown.

I love this. So gay

This is is patriarchy in real time. He's attacking that guy's masculinity as a public reminder that real men enforce gender norms even in the most intimate relationships. It's preying on insecurity to control men to control women.

This kind of gender enforcement is pretty common for boys aged 4 until death. The trick of the true oppressor is to get you to surveil yourself.

Allow me to share a small personal story. An anecdote, as it is often called.

I was home for ten years with my children. I changed diapers, took care of meals and chores, and when it was time for it, I took my children to pre-school.

Being a stay at home father, being present for my children, was trampled on by teachers and the mothers of other children. It was disrespectful, demeaning. I was unwelcomed and unwanted. Some even tried to create a narrative that I was a danger to the children.

Women were more vitriolic and systematic in their gender affirmation than men.

That is extremely sad and telling.

The guy in the post is an idiot and being told to shut up and told off, followed by perhaps a couple of punches to the teeth would be enough to get him to stay quiet.

Women would not be so easy to handle.

This. I'm trans and I've existed in public as both a man and a woman.

Nothing is more soul-crushing than being called The Devil simply for being of a sex that isn't even one you want to be!

One of the few Right Wing talking points that I sort of agree with is the idea that men are demonized just for existing, because they REALLY are. I'm not surprised men are responding with hostility to being told their very masculinity is toxic.

Don't get me wrong, Dudebros are still fucking awful, but... "I get it" if that makes sense.

Doesn't mean I recommend anyone takes Andrew Tate or Jordan Peterson's advice and no incels are not based, but... damn ya know.

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Feminists missed out and are continuing to miss out on an opportunity to bridge the gap. Men aren't choosing Tate and Peterson because they're the best version of masculinity, they're choosing them because they're some of the only people telling men you don't have to hate yourself, and they're acknowledging that things really are challenging for men.

It's how Trump won too. While everyone was talking about how great things are, he was telling a different story: things were great, but they're a bit shit right now. While he named the wrong enemy (it's always oligarchs), most people wouldn't know that and were just happy to have someone call the issue out at all.

Feminists and Democrats have a choice now: take class and men's issues seriously, or keep losing ground. Given the latest events at the DNC, it doesn't sound like Democrats learned anything. Maybe the major feminist orgs are doing the necessary self-examination? I'm not hopeful to be frank, but I'm open to it.

This is why so many young men have moved to the right. When one side is telling you ur worth nothing you deserve this and the other is telling you your worth nothing this is how to fix it what do u expect people to choose.

Boys, we've done it.

It is now gay to be straight.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

last week we were told on lemmy that all men we were legally women now and were ok to get cheap drinks at ladies night. Now we are also all gay. OK I guess. So straight guys are all lesbians now?

So many people's porn fantasies just came true.

Conservatives believe there are only 2 possible roles for a father, absent or abusive.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

They don’t even consider the abuse abusive. Got in an argument with some conservative dumb fuck and that idiot had the gall to say,

“My parents beat the shit out of me for doing things like that”

Like cool, dude. That really explains way more than you think lol

Someone had't recieved enough love from his father and wants to be an asshole about it

He loves his kids! What a fag!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

So when he loves his kids he gets called a fag.

When I love his kids I get arrested.

The double standards are insane.

Fuck man. I'd love to be in his position lol.

Wife rich as fuck, hot as fuck, and all I gotta do is:

  1. support her and be taken around the world by her

  2. have sex with her

  3. stay at home and play with the kids and toys?

Have you seen the toys kids have now? That shit is fire and a thousand times better then the shit I had as a kid.

Homey is jealous that the grind he on didn't come with a heavy dose of luck, and all he's got is a Twitter Account run by a non-sleeping, ketamine dosing nazi.

There is nothing manlier than gay sex.

So having sex with women is feminine.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Yep, heterosexual sex between a man and a women is gay as fuck, she’s literally fucking a dude which is the gayest thing you can do.

I’d let Rihanna fuck me in the ass…just saying.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Nothing gay about being fucked by a woman.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I like how it calls out the bullshit that men can't care for their kids.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nothing is more homosexual than being a loving, present father for the children you've created with a woman.

"I love you, dad."

That Shadaya dude is just African Andrew Tate. Bet many African nations are going to have to deal with maladjusted manboys in the near future, like what is currently happening in the West.

Uganda has been leading the way in this

Why is the comment about being gay, he's talking about "emasculation", so this is about masculinity, not about heteronormativity. Still, assigning your perceived masculine virtues to everyone is kinda cringe ngl, as is defining femininity as inferior.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I mean generally toxic masculinity comes with a healthy dose of homophobia on the side too

Poor guy is confused who he wants to bang more Rhianna or the husband. That's why he is so angry.

I never see anything useful from these alpha types - they don't post about what they've made, how they solved a problem, what new things they have learned, nothing. Just self-aggrandisement and shitting on people they deem lesser.

I wasn't worried about whether or not I was gay before and I'm still not worried about it. People like this seem to be very worried about whether or not they're gay. It's weird because all I need to know is that I'm not sexually attracted to men.
