Ahead of Trump's inauguration, a cadre of insecure, weak billionaires are all bending the knee to protect themselves and their interests and cosplaying as Alpha men to court Trump's toxic base.
i don’t understand how the First FOTUS could ever be considered tough or masculine. he is a spoiled, soft, bloated marshmallow with an anus for a mouth. not tough, but ugly through and through, the bully toddler in preschool scattering the other kids toys. he is an orange neon sign to the whole world, highlighting the failures of education, common sense, and critical thinking in this country. have we no shame?
You have a good point, and one I have contemplated often. It seems that this iteration of toxic masculinity does not require real strength (physical or character) or achievement. It seems to be measured by the degree of cruelty one is willing to inflict on others, and unflinching self-aggrandizing and hyperbolic bragging.
i think you have nailed the current christian right definition of masculinity.
cruelty it is, in lock-step with their revised definition of christianity, which bears no resemblance to the values most of us were taught as children and still live by.
Nothing says “manly man” like blaming women for their shortcomings. While I’m not a huge fan of Sheryl Sandberg since she conveniently left FB before the Cambridge Analytica shit hit the fan, I do hope she’s out there wishing Zuck the karma he deserves.
Brother Waj-FEAR and Insecurities -real power is not based in fear!
And The Furies, the Goddesses of Vengeance, the daughters of Gaia (the Earth) are released!Toxic masculinity damned and be destroyed -including in women such as Gabbard.
I wish someone would create a GoFundMe page to raise money to put Elon on a spaceship to Mars. The funds raised should be paid out to Elon or his estate only after he has left Earth’s orbit and is on his way. Every six months, if he is still here, the funds should be disbursed to food banks or other diversity initiatives. Maybe also raise funds to send Zuckerberg and Bezos to Mars, too. If Elon thinks it is such a good idea, he should lead by example and be the first to go. Bon voyage!
You are of course correct that this brand of toxic masculinity is disastrous for peaceful and productive relationships. However, it is also ubiquitous throughout human history. While many shining examples of more gender equitable, and kinder and more peaceful models of male behavior have coexisted with it, the idea that men should be praised for being compassionate, cooperative and dedicated to the common good has only become common in the very recent past. That compassionate model of masculinity (CMM) has never really dominated world cultures even in modern times. Where CMM flourishes, humans succeed spectacularly, and much suffering is relieved. The question that we face is, whether the recent success of CMM is a mere flash in the pan, or a way forward. The current ascendancy of the "broligarchy" does not bode well for humanity. IMHO.
Has anyone remembered the 2 astronauts that have been left up in space as Elon Musk continues to do his life even tho he is responsible for them..He has said that a rocket is going to go & rescue them but after that rocket blew up & the date of rescue date has been changed twice like there is no hurry to retrieve them - does anyone realize what happens to ur mental health & physical health!?
I mean even the news isn't even following this live on going fumble of 2 peoples lives - IF these 2 astronauts pay the price of Elon Musks playtime with rockets-America will never ever be able to live it done or be taken as a serious player in space programs ever again & u know what it will a deserved strip of honor!
Why is it progressives' job to address the needs and anxieties of men? Shouldn't they figure it out themselves? That's what women have done.

Freedom is not given it is taken.
You do not believe in pay walls? what about free speech?
