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.

THERES NOTHING MORE STRAIGHT THAN BEING THE ALPHA MALE IN A SEA OF OTHER MALES.

DOMINATE THE WEAKER MALES.

MAKE THEM KNOW THEIR PLACE.

DO NOT THINK ABOUT THEIR NON-ALPHA PENISES OR THEIR CUTE LITTLE BUTTS.

FOR YOU, YOU ARE THE MOST ALPHA OF ALPHAS.

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.

Have you watched the show Mad Men? The whole Betty Draper (January Jones) story arc shows how much that lifestyle falls apart in the long run.

What you described? Sounds like an amazing vacation for a week or two. But then as the months and years drag on, and your high-flying career spouse is never around, shit really starts to set in. That life is lonely AF!

Sure, it’s great to be with your children, take care of them, teach them and bond with them. But small children do not provide the social and mental outlet that an adult needs.

There’s a reason so many tradwives pull the ripcord after a few years. No one should ever feel like a prisoner in their own home.

Did we watch the same show? I think you're ignoring the incredible amount of cheating that was occurring and how much that contributed to it all as well as that other big secret that's spoilerish.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Plus, like, you know, it's a TV drama and not real life.

I was a stay-at-home dad twice. I found it very fulfilling both times.

Maybe don't turn to fiction to figure out what reality is like?

[–] [email protected] 120 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Boys, we've done it.

It is now gay to be straight.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months 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.

He loves his kids! What a fag!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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.

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

What a total homo.

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.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

No cap that's actually so gay fr

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

"I love you, dad."

"Sorry, son. That's gay. I'm never speaking to you again."

There is nothing manlier than gay sex.

So having sex with women is feminine.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months 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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The men who claim to be "alphas" are some of the least alpha men in society I swear. Not that that's even a real thing

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.

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] 10 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Because emasculation of men is just a dog whistle for bigots. At best. At worst it is just a euphemism.

Yes, those are two different things. For bigots they might be the same thing.

End of the day, both are just cultural war olympics for dumb masses.

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.
