I'll also add when people express these "society has abandoned men we have nothing we're not even allowed our hobbies" takes, the last thing they actually want is a return to traditional masculinity. because traditional masculinity would simply tell them to get over it and stop being a little bitch

as someone who has struggled with feeling like a 'failed' man for much of my life *entirely* due to expectations of masculinity set by other men, I can't overstate the harm to the male psyche caused by this culture of endless doombaiting about men being helpless victims of a feminist/LGBT society

Setting aside all the subtexts, it was regurgitated as, "He said self soothing."
Which I think perfectly encapsulates how the cultural handover has gone.
Men almost never call each other out when they see or hear this behaviour in public. Its always “just the lads having a laugh.” Silence = permission.
You know, manly man ones like cars and sports.
I don’t whine. But I vote for Democrats. All these “men” are just whiny crybaby assholes
They don't have the privilege of previous generations and they perceive it as oppression.
Don't care that much.
Will have to get those boys ready for their job in the meat packing plant. Cuz that's what it's gonna take.
The media has always been a vector into boys' heads with this crap. It's new media now, and it's more extreme.
They haven't even finished adolescence, what the fuck do they know about "woke shit ruined my star wars" boo fucking hoo
I mean, fuckin’ hell, ‘Doctor Who and the Silurians’ was written by a communist but because the Doctor is a white man it’s not ‘woke’.
WATCH ME
Don't watch that Disney Plus show
WATCH ME
Don't play that 40 hour game
WATCH ME
WHO IS THIS GUY? WHAT THE FUCK? I'D RATHER ANIMAL DOO DOO PEE PEE DOO DOO
I wish I was making this shit up.
It's truly pathetic.
Old masculinity saw two hobbies: sports for boys, dance for girls.
Video Games, Comics, Sci-fi, Role Playing - not so much.
Red pillers pretending these are being attacked for their inherent masculinity is at least odd.
Being gay affords me a whole unique history to call upon and have pride in. Not to mention affinity groups & clubs. It’s a source of resilience to know I am never really in things alone.
In contrast, what do straight men have?
Their history is the “default” history, yes, but it’s also everyone else’s. But…
But I also don’t know how you fix this, or if you can. Sometimes people just choose to be lame.
Who are some really exceptional, non-toxic, well adjusted straight guys in American culture? What unique behaviors do they exhibit? And can we make their behaviors replicable/actionable?
that's enough i think ^^
They have deprived themselves of the language that could be used to explain their pain.
Younger men shame the Gen X and Boomers' cringe conservative meme talking points by making fun of their and Joe Rogan's obvious radicalization with culture war propaganda and macho Navy Seals
Brigaded, but this made it to the top:
Even in my anti-SJW phase (oof) my position was “Social Justice is good, tumblr feminism is bad”, which isn’t entirely wrong but was pretty incoherent.
I think today’s generation of parents would rather let their kid look at a screen instead of trying to raise their kid right.
Thanks man. Your videos steered me in a healthier direction :)
They'd be far better off by actually getting a real hobby.
