GUYS
The white man-boy is the most important cultural figure in America today.
Hyperbole? Maybe.
But, allow me to make a case that the ‘white man-boy industrial complex’ is producing ways of being and knowing the world, particularly for white men, that threaten the social interests (if not rights) of women and people of color in contemporary American culture and little critical attention is being given to this phenomenon.
What do I mean by ‘the white man-boy industrial complex’?
I mean the lucrative constellation of industries that produce movies, television shows, music, books, magazines, advertising, and a range of other products that have made popular the idea that white guys today are refusing to grow up, retreating to fratriarchal spaces and ‘man caves,’ reviving racist and sexist humor with irony, and seeking liberation from women they imagine as trying to castrate them (usually metaphorically).
The white man-boy market was initially a niche, but now must be seen as defining ‘the mainstream.’ The white man-boy industrial complex sells its wares to white men of various social classes. Socialized around the idea that masculinity is a style performed through conspicuous consumption, these men range in age from awkward teens, to twentysomethings who may imagine themselves caught up in a quarterlife crisis, to thirty- and fortysomethings who may be trying to ironically hold onto their youths while denying that that is what they’re up to.

The swinging pendulum of sexism arrives! Ladies, Men can get raped too. Remember that.
I find this comment extremely problematic and vaguely misogynistic.
Mainly because whenever someone pops up with this “MEN CAN GET RAPED TOO! SEE!” rhetoric it’s always in a smug and superior tone.
As if getting raped is a competition.
As if that’s something to be proud of, that you have just as many victims/survivors in your camp as we do.
We know men can get raped too. But there’s a better way to inform the public of this without trying to demonize women in the process. That kind of tone is just telling me you don’t see rape as a serious issue to be discussed or that rape culture plays a huge role in why women speak more about men raping them than men do of anyone raping them at all. It just tells me you see it as a contest to be one. As just another battle of the sexes.
And that in and of itself is rape culture at work. And it’s disgusting. Clap clap, bravo, you smug twat.
there is at least one other feminist in the scene shop
and this makes me very happy
YAAAAS!
People don’t hate fat acceptance because they think it’s unhealthy or any of that concern troll bullshit. They hate fat acceptance because they think that if they aren’t considered MORE beautiful than someone else, they won’t be considered beautiful at all. They hate fat acceptance because they are terrified that it will take away their ability to boost their own self esteem by saying, “at least I’m not fat.”
lol omg i love her
and i love that she went on a date with upchuck
every so called feminist I have come in contact with have only further my opinion of the feminist movement as nothing more than just female chauvinism. but i rather not generalize, I will just speak on what I have come across. These females do nothing but insult and degrade males to make a point. while I know women have had this done to them in various of forms, but an eye for an eye leaves one blind. you do not degrade one group to elevate another
I wholeheartedy apologize for whatever “feminists” you’ve run into. That’s not representative of the movement at all.
