Untitled | Slate Star Codex. An excellent write up on the feminist shaming of male sexuality and Nerdiness.

So I know this is older. And that it's probably been read by a few people here as it is. But I was rereading it recently and figured I should repost it.

Shaming of male sexuality is IMHO one of the bigger issues that's not as commonly addressed by mens groups. And never touched on in feminist ones.

One paragraph that really stands out to me is this one.

Scott Aaronson is a straight guy, and he’s saying feminist shaming tactics have made it worse. I’m an asexual heteroromantic guy, and I’m telling her feminist shaming tactics have made it worse. Unitofcaring is a lesbian woman, and she’s saying feminist shaming tactics have made it worse. HughRistik, who is some sort of weird metrosexual something (I mock him because I love him), is telling her feminist shaming tactics have made it worse. A giant cry has arisen from shy awkward men, lesbians, bisexuals, whatever of the world is saying “NO, SERIOUSLY, FEMINIST SHAMING TACTICS ARE MAKING THIS WORSE”

I like this simply because it opens up discussion to a much wider viewpoint than just straight men.

If people of multiple identities and sexual orientations are making note of this. It really goes to show how widespread the issue really is.

EDIT: Also. With the current discussions on "low effort" posts. I would like this post and comment to be an example of what I would hope for in other posts.

The same feminist website like buzzfeed who shame male sexuality they always post article sexualizing male athletes.

Apparently man showing admiration for female body is bigoted objectification but a women showing admiration for male body is sexual liberation.

There is a tag titled hot-athletes, and guess what ? all article are about naked men !!

when someone tells you that something you are doing is making their life miserable, you don’t lecture them about how your life is worse, even if it’s true. You STOP DOING IT.

This is the line I always think of when debating the term "toxic masculinity" with feminists.

I was mostly with Scott Aaaronson until he said this:

No woman “owes” male nerds anything; no woman deserves blame if she prefers the Neanderthals; everyone’s free choice demands respect.

Neanderthals? Oh come on, you're not doing yourself any favors with that one. It reminds me of Elliot Rodger and his ranting about "brutes". But I still do feel for him. The fact that he asked a doctor to chemically castrate him shows that he has deep mental scars and deserves compassion.
