The latest assault on men and boys: "Toxic Masculinity"

[MakeDigitalLove]

Do you see a dialogue as an "attack"?

"Attack" here comes from people who are incapable or lacking the intelligence to be able to exchange in ideas through dialogue.

I'm assuming you posed the question rhetorically.

 

[Kulindahr]

This attack is similar to the anti-white movements colleges given courses in "white privilege" "micro-agression" and the larger problem of institutionalized racism. Minorities to the maximum extent possible. All are part of the movement toward totalitarianism in which every thought, word and deed is governed by the state.

Apparently you've sat in a room and participated, since you are claiming to know the content of the discussions. Can you post a copy of either a course syllabus or other evidence substantiating your attendance?

Don't assume incapacity when laziness is a sufficient explanation.

I can define "toxic masculinity": it's the set of those views of masculinity which include justification(s) for the initiation of force as a means of interacting with others.

Your frfinition id irrelevant. The course in the OP extends to power, privilege and oppression.

1. I'm still waiting fro your evidence demonstrating your claims about the course content.

2. LOL Your restatement shows that my definition is correct. I leave the proof as an exercise for the student.

Kulindahr...























What is the deal with you and the "Enter" button?








































Seriously?

Seriously?

Kulindahr has long preferred responses that are somewhat limited, or specific, to a particular aspect of discussion.

It is a reasonable method.

It is a reasonable method.

It is a logical method for rational discussion.

It's why I despise the "moronic 'update function'": if I mean two things to go together, I put them together.



Also, within posts I used the <enter> button to put extra space between distinct or different sets of thought. That, too, is logical.

Heh -- I recall more than once getting chewed out by others for taking long posts from someone and breaking them into their constituent parts, relegating each to a new post for my response.

That, too, is reasonable; some people have enough trouble considering one topic at once and only get confused when more than one idea appears in a single post, so I avert some confusion that way.

But when I really use the enter button, the way kev did in his post, my purpose is to force the reader's brain to have a moment for thought










































while the fingers are doing what's needed to scroll down.

 

[Kulindahr]

In context of the thread....

is my use of the <enter> key threatening someone's masculinity?

It is a logical method for rational discussion.

In typical discussions, it is superior. From my perspective, it certainly makes thread cleanup a lot easier.

… I despise the "moronic 'update function'": if I mean two things to go together, I put them together.

The computer is merely trying to help you.

The exact nature of the beast seems to be tied to computer clock time. If a post occurs and then another in the subsequent computer-system minute, they will be combined. If the subsequent post occurs in the minute of original post plus 2 (or more), it will become a separate post.

Also, within posts I used the <enter> button to put extra space between distinct or different sets of thought. That, too, is logical.

Which being translated means that somewhere a software geek decided that people who make posts quickly together really either meant to or ought to make one post out of them. Since he had the power, he built in this little routine as an attempt to force us all to conform to his view of reality.

This is from the OP link: "where they will “engage in collective imagining to construct new futures for masculinities, unrestricted by power, privilege, and oppression.”

 

[Kabluey]

Only thing more dreary than events like this is the heated debate about them.

Oh please, you don't have the comprehension to discern radical feminism from your left nut, let alone discerning it from the other branches of feminism. Toxic is used as an adjective here to denote the parts n'parcels of performative gender roles that harm the individual and those surrounding them, it isn't used to describe all the ways masculinity is performed.

Please! How about safe spaces for toxic feminity?

Or take your pick. There's thousands of them:
