Yep. He’s a Nazi.

Mr. President, thank you so much for having us here today and holding this roundtable. Antifa is real. Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany. And it's now been just under one month since we saw a far leftist murder Charlie Kirk. And we saw thousands upon thousands of people, other far leftists and people in positions of authority, people like nurses and pilots and doctors and HR departments celebrating the death and the murder of Charlie Kirk. The sickness that's out there is absolutely real. And Mr. President, thank you for mentioning it.

Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

The very premise is false.

‘Toxic masculinity’ has been conceptualized precisely because men oppress themselves through harmful expectations, which can also be enforced by women who have internalized them.

Once again, reading bell hooks wouldn’t hurt.

You can call out being weak, being an ass, being a bully all you want, but nobody gets to define and gatekeep manhood just as nobody gets to define and gatekeep womanhood.

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

No, you are using an ad hominem attack to counter a point about the toxicity of a joke, and you can still go fuck yourself for that.

Do we get to bully NYT writers, BlueSky execs and JD Vance, or is it just punching down for sociopathic sadists?

I would have expected a Butlerian to not fall for the gender essentialist bullshit that would have us believe that women are perfect victims and men are eternal oppressors, and to question how toxic expectations of gender performances are hurtful to anybody, but maybe we didn’t read the same Butler

It’s been decades since feminists have opened discussions about the ways patriarchy and toxic masculinity also hurt men, even if in very different ways than they hurt women.

If you expect men to be always horny stallions, lest they be called gay, you won’t like what you’ll get.

Clément Mangin @clementmangin.com · 1d

You are literally responding under a post that calls a man ‘gay’ because he doesn’t want to bang a hot chick.

If you don’t see homophobia when it’s right under your nose, and how enforcing toxic gender expectations can be harmful, get the fuck out of my face and go read some bell hooks maybe.

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda hits out at AI-generated videos of her dead father: ‘Stop doing this to him’

Film-maker tells the public to stop sending her videos, saying: ‘You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings’ Zelda Williams, the daughter of the late actor and comedian Robin Williams, has spoken out against AI-generated content featuring her father. “Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad,” Zelda wrote in an Instagram story on Monday. “Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t. If you’re just trying to troll me, I’ve seen way worse, I’ll restrict and move on. But please, if you’ve got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It’s dumb, it’s a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it’s NOT what he’d want. Continue reading...

Could opening the door to call underperforming men ‘gay’ be problematic? Could casually gatekeeping masculinity over sex performance potentially backfire?

I wonder if there are overarching principles around consent that should apply to everyone equally regardless of gender, and if enforcing toxic stereotypes about male sex drive plays right into patriarchy’s hand.

Sure, a man could not possibly have a lower sex drive than their partner, and could not possibly be pressed to perform his marital duties against his will by any woman, because <insert some gender essentialist bullshit>.

I don’t care about the initial story, I care about the harmful joke being made out of it, and the shit it has enabled.

And I’ve been doing just that. Feel free to help.

Clément Mangin @clementmangin.com · 2d

In the meantime I see homophobic comments calling the man gay, and people gatekeeping manhood based on sex drive, throwing aces under the bus.

Is that the price you are willing to pay to pile on an asshole? Don’t you have less harmful ways to express your scorn?
