We never hated masculinity or strength in men; in fact, it's what many women are attracted to. We just want that strength to be used to fight FOR us, not to oppress and exploit us. The men who bully others when they think we can't fight back are pathetic cowards, because every fucking time they see any resistance, they run for the hills.

Luigi attacked a member of the oligarchy; a mass murderer with the blessing of the state. He did not do the easy thing, but the hardest. The fucker that wrote this sees "woke feminists" as inherently pacifists, knowing only a history that whitewashed suffragette terrorists and Black Panthers. They think we just hate men, when even some Sapphic women find men like Luigi hot for killing nobility.

We are not frustrated with most men because it's "politically acceptable," but because so many of them are pathetic cowards. Grow some balls and fight the powerful instead of the weak!

Edit: duplicate word and autocorrect fix

Very well said. Just wanted to clarify that the notion that men should always be strong and heroic is still toxic masculinity. Strength shouldn't be celebrated for its own sake, what matters is how it's used. Appreciate the men who struggle against anxiety and social expectations to still do what is right.

I know that's probably what you mean, but that last paragraph gave me flashbacks.

Very true. Men can have genuine moments of weakness, as showing those takes more courage than always pretending to be strong.

[–] petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

How does one struggle without strength?

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I'm going to screenshot this post to share whenever the chuds start going off about how they can't be men.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

There people just want to control the narrative and make it seem when people talk about toxic masculinity, it means "all masculinity is toxic". Same with how "free speech" got distorted into "bigots not getting called out for bigoted speech".

What a load of absolute piss. Is this journalism now?

[–] amon@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

Meh most people couldn't tell the difference between fact and opinion anymore

[–] TheRtRevKaiser@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 week ago

I mean, it's an opinion piece in the NY Post, what do you expect? Nobody with two brain cells to rub together takes them seriously.

[–] shani66@ani.social 82 points 1 week ago

Man the really are throwing literally everything at the wall and hoping something sticks.

[–] Zementid@feddit.nl 69 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who writes this stuff? What are they thinking when they lie in bed at night. Are they happy to be obedient? Is this all they expect from life?

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

It is a right wing libertarian writing for the New York Post. The author also writes for the Daily Wire, so there's not ablot at work upstairs.

[–] RagingHungryPanda@lemm.ee 58 points 1 week ago

Damn the chuds are really trying. I can smell the copium.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 57 points 1 week ago

Huh, somehow she thought toxic masculinity is about pure muscle mass and violence, and not about how one think mens should act in a patriarchy way.

Maybe Spiderman is toxic masculinity after all, with all that punching and kicking.

These dipshits can’t see two inches in front of their fuckin noses. They can’t help but think without nuance. Why does the revolutionary political act of assassination have to be gendered?

Revolution is not male. It’s not anything but an attempt to break the bonds of oppression. Many women have taken part.

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

Because they're sexist, that's why. They'd call these woman "unfeminine" for "acting like a man." They believe violence and power are inherently, fundamentally masculine features.

It’s all part of the process of manufacturing consent. These people are paid propagandists working overtime to dilute and disrupt the revolutionary ideas that the ceo shooter had when he pulled the trigger. The rich are scared; this is literally what keeps them up at night.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don’t lament. Organize.

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Join a union.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

I mean, sure that’s a great idea too. But we’re way beyond just unionizing to fix this issue.

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 week ago

I mean, it's not only women. Luigi spent all of December 4th making passionate manly love to me.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is it actually unparalleled? I admittedly wasn't alive at the time but it seems pretty similar to Ted Bundy to me.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is unique in my experience. Liking Bundy or a Menendez brother existed but was seen as profoundly weird.

My friends are just like

"would."

"same."

And nobody seems to not understand why.

He falls into a Robin Hood type of role and not as a predator. People don’t have to fear him because they don’t imagine ever becoming a target.

I think that’s why he’s so popular. I bet Robin Hood got laid.

Will Scarlet was a super twink, you know he got it.
