| 11 | Female Masculinities Scholar discusses Sherlock Holmes' "toxic masculinity". Can't resist making bizarre comparison to Trump, and conflating the character's thoughts on emotions with his view of women.A lot of the time in British academia, there is a class element to this. Funding for PhD work is very difficult to get - funding for work that isn’t about science or public policy even harder. As a result, the people who can thrive in these niche fields are the people who have the family or capital to get through a PhD without full funding. These fields - at least in the UK - are dominated by a self-selecting group of middle class women. By extension, they also then become the peer reviewers for… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/12/20 12:22 PM |
| 15 | Female Masculinities Scholar discusses Sherlock Holmes' "toxic masculinity". Can't resist making bizarre comparison to Trump, and conflating the character's thoughts on emotions with his view of women.I think one of the key things here is the phrase “Masculinities Scholar”. Masculinities is a cool concept in theory - all the different ways people can relate to the idea of masculinity and express it. In practice, it seems it’s just a way of going “oh, that guy who you don’t think has toxic masculinity, he totally does it just looks different”. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 19/12/20 11:43 AM |
| 2 | Left wing right wingI am astounded at how many progressive men who, once they get to know me and I start broaching men’s issues with them, express some kind of relief at hearing me talk about this stuff. I have been very involved in major party politics and left wing campaigning so for a lot of my friends, hearing the unashamed knowledgeable lefty talk about this is a moment of relief that they can be concerned about misandry and inequality and not be secretly alt-right. | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/12/20 02:36 PM |
| 3 | I have mixed feelings on this male body positivity project. What are your thoughts?Healthy emotional processing looks different to different people, regardless of gender. I think some women hate how easily they cry and wish they didn't, as much as some men wish they could cry easier. To me, the key thing is that men understand the show of masculine strength and discipline isn't crying or not crying - it's having the courage to confront difficult feelings and build a healthy processing mechanism, whatever that looks like for you. I'm like you: crying is not comfortable for me. … | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 18/12/20 02:05 PM |
| 3 | The Problem With a Fight Against Toxic MasculinityI've noticed two things in academia on these things, like the supposed connection between homophobia and masculinity: Either the claim is so widely accepted it doesn't need backing up with reference to source material; or The source material is research that, when you follow the chain back, eventually gets to a point where one day it was just kind of...claimed. I mean obviously, we all know a warped take on masculinity and maleness has been used to marginalise gay men historically. But...women w… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/12/20 11:06 PM |
| 3 | The Problem With a Fight Against Toxic MasculinitySo. Much. Fucking. This. Trump is deeply insecure; oversensitive; undisciplined; selfish to the core; a desperate sexual creep; neglectful of his spouse and children; a coward who shirks responsibility; demeans people who work hard; loyal only to himself; afraid to ever confront bad experiences; obsessed with his appearance; an emotional manipulator and gaslighter. In what world are these traits society has expected of men for centuries? If anything, I worry we're going to have more Trumps and B… | /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates | 16/12/20 08:27 PM |
