And furthermore, they don't realize it, but they are getting Trump re-elected with this kind of shite.

Which is hilariously ironic.

This isn't anywhere near the dumbest part of that article or whatever that collection of words may be, but what the frick does this even try to mean?

For an article that incoherent and rambling, it was somehow too short.


quote:

While the queer community and feminists are comfortable with discussing gender roles in society, straight men are often the most reluctant to contribute to this discourse. Dialogue surrounding gender expression puts straight men in a precarious position, because while their perception of masculinity is so limited and restricted, adhering to this narrow form of acceptable masculinity puts them in a position of societal power. It is a double-edged sword of masculinity being beneficial in terms of social hierarchy while not allowing room for introspection or questioning.



Hmmmmmmmm, I wonder why that is

In the part that you quoted, they essentially stated that straight white guys aren't capable of acting how people like the author think they should by virtue of their skin color, sex, and sexual orientation. Basically anything they do is wrong and there's nothing they can do to remediate the problem.

Aren't we constantly told to sit down and shut up when it comes to gender?

No, we are supposed to talk so we can be told that as a white, straight, male our opinion doesn't matter.

Which is ironic because the author has no concept of how straight men can have meaningful friendships without sex.

This whole article reeks of jealously

The whole article reeks of revenge and spite.

This is a common concept among progressives: straight white men are the cause of every problem.

That's why it always makes me laugh when people say there's no open hostility towards straight white guys while simultaneously bombarding us daily with articles like this that say shite like straight white guys shouldn't act like the very gay people we idolize because reasons.

Homosexuality, whether platonic or otherwise, is profoundly disordered. It is a disturbing indicator of how far we have allowed our traditional values to dissolve. Instead of passing legislation to strengthen traditional values (espeically as it applies to the traditional family) progressive liberals push diversity as the panacea. Included in this diversity push is the demand that society accept, accomodate, even promote LGBT values. So we begin to see transvestites (aka LGBT operatives) engaged in storytelling to children at public libraries. You begin to see commericals pop-up during the Super Bowl portraying a happy lesbian couple exchanging casual chatter.

Let me be clear, LGBT values are profoundly disordered. Allowed to spread it will destroy a society. So with that in mind, society must make a clear statement. We will tolerate your dysfunctionalism. We will even encourage you to abandon the lifestyle and return to heterosexualism. But under no circumstance will we allow you to use the judicial system, taxing jurisdictions, and government to promote and expand your disordered lifestyle.

Now rage and howl LGBT operatives. Truth is never a lie.

Good day!

I think they are talking about how guys play games with their close friends, examples: tbagging a friend or some gay shite.

But if it’s not that idk

If they hate straights acting "queer" at times, they must hate the enlisted military, who do that type of stuff all the time.

And they must have hated Scrubs

I thought they liked when men acted less masculine. Now that is evil as well. Who can keep up.

The OT should put its creativity to work. Pick mundane, ordinary phenomena and write a sociological treatise on how marginalized communities are harmed and how it advances a cisnormative, Eurocentric patriarchy.
