Men not being allowed to be emotional & rampant homophobia are the reasons men commit suicide 3.5x more than women… most men are given no outlet to feel feelings. To the point that they kill themselves.

This is a strong man who has been pushed to his limit. There is no shame in this man weeping, just as there is no shame in getting comfort from his brother. This does not make him any less manly or any weaker. The strength in this video clip is stunningly, perfectly manly to me. @warriormale could you please chime in?

Showing emotions i.e. crying shows that you’re human.

All humans cry.

I’ve seen very tough fighters cry.

Crying makes Men human.

please kill this idea that just because a female character is not physically strong and does not physically fight that her very existence is, by default, a sexist portrayal of women in media.

the “damsel in distress” trope is only harmful when that aspect of the character is all there is to the character. if the writers give attention to her backstory, her feelings, her struggles, and her development, then she’s not a faceless prop just being used for male empowerment. she’s a person. a person who happens to not fight.

there’s nothing wrong with that. and to push this notion that this is somehow bad and wrong and that women should never need saving, even in war and crime fiction, is ludicrous. it swings the pendulum too far in the other direction and creates the problem of only showcasing women who are physically fit, or butch, or masculine.

people come in all shapes, sizes, temperaments, and ideologies. stop worrying about stupid tropes and focus that energy on questioning whether or not a character is actually well-written and cared for by the author instead.

this post is making the rounds again and i love seeing all of the wide array of female characters tagged on it despite the fact that i wrote it specifically about makoto makimura from yakuza 0

but at the same time it kind of makes me sad that there are so many women like this portrayed in media and yet the vast majority of audiences write them all off so easily as though they’re worthless

i’d argue it even sends a dangerous message to actual women, like sorta implying women who have been kidnapped, abused, rape or such are worthless for needing outside help to save them from their situations.

SAY IT AGAIN FOR THOSE IN THE BACK!

Pour me some more of that fresh tea

sis life is too short to act like moc aren’t also complicit w sexism

Meanwhile, over in the MCU;

The MCU has more manservice than fanservice.

Speaking of men of color….

Let’s talk about how after Black Panther came out Winston Duke, the man playing M’Baku, was hit with sexualized tweets and messages from women.

But every time there is a butt shot of a woman in the MCU we get a fresh flood of two bit gender thinkers writing articles about how women are sexualized as if it only happens to them.

Even Quicksilver. They made his suit really tight.

I also found a quiz from Buzzfeed about which man from Black Panther you should hook up with, so….

Don’t forget that MCU’s Peter Parker is 15. Ew.

Well, sure, but at least that scene has a joke purpose. To show him going “I’m not a superhero!” and then immediately reveal his muscles.

The fact that it functions as fanservice is technically incidental.

People will only find fault in the outfit of one of these people.

Weird how you can have any amount of manservice short of a guy’s actual dick being on screen but it’s either got some in-universe reason for existing that totally negates any fanservice value, or else it’s a “male power fantasy” and any man would absolutely dress like that if they could get away with it socially, but a woman show even the slightest titillation to her and any attempt to explain why it exists is shot down as “just an excuse” and degrading her to a mere object.

Funny how that works.

the-memeblades-chosen-one:

if your response to vulgar/crude mainstream media content that treats women like objects to be used for sex is to create vulgar/crude mainstream media content that treats men like objects to be used for sex and try to call that “progressive” or “women getting their turn” you are not making any statement other than “we hate being objectified but it’s ok when we do it to others lol”. And that is just as bad, if not actually worse because you are admitting you have absolutely no problem using, viewing, and treating other humans beings like objects/trash if you (or someone you “approve of”) get to be the one to do it which is just disgusting.

You’re not “making a statement”. You’re not “changing the narrative/stereotype/whathaveyou/whatever you’re calling it”. You’re not being “powerful and bold”.

You’re just as scummy and nasty and awful as any and every other person is who objectifies any human for any reason in any way. Period. End of story.

Male feminist fails, vol. #41009

Well, Ilse Koch was a commandant’s wife, but she was far more cruel and evil than he was, as well as more infamous and more hated. And she was FAR from the only purely evil nazi.

But this post BEAUTIFUL either way. That OP is embarrassing.

And holy shit let’s not forget about Elizabeth Bathory, who killed HUNDREDS of her servants and fucking BATHED IN THEIR BLOOD. You want a holocaust? She took out all the young women in several different counties where her properties were, to the point she had to start importing servants. 

There was also Queen (Bloody) Mary Tudor or Mary I of England, who happened to be the very first Queen of England in her own right, but who also forcibly and violently attempted to undo her father’s Reformation with fire and the sword. She some 300 people burned at the stake alone, and thousands more died at her command other ways.

Not treating women as equal human beings, with the same capacities for greatness and horror, is pretty sexist tbh.
