I don’t know how else to describe it, but all my male friends and family are very unemotional. Not in the sense that they don’t feel anything, but that they are a lot better at handling them and I feel like I’m not. I’ve tried meditation, therapy, healthy eating and a better sleep schedule but nothing works. I still anger and get upset at the smallest things and I feel like I’m less masculine than my friends. Im even known as the super emotional guy in the group and they often tease me about it, which makes things worse. My family constantly talk down to me as I don’t work out much and am very thin and short while my younger bros are jacked and tall. I don’t know what to do and really needed to get this off my chest. Thank you.
Patriarchy just means “society”, but sneaks in blaming men for any problems caused by it
Egalitarian is a word that means equality between all peoples, and that existed before feminism as a word, to give you an idea of how far back their sexist bias goes
“Toxic Masculinity” really is a victim blaming way to say “gender expectations placed on men by society, which are harmful to others but maybe sometimes we’ll admit are harmful to the man subject to the abuse, but who gives a fuck about that guy he hasn’t solved his own problems and instead made them known to others, how can we make him shut up?”
And for that last one we actually prefer the terminology feminism used before they realized it applied to men as well: “sexist gender roles and expectations”
