That Gillette ad was right. Evidence of toxic masculinity is all around us.
Ladies, most of us men abhor this kind of creature.
It is quite evident by watching all the negative reaction on social media to a simple concept: treat women as equals. The conservative Right went nuts!
Reading that story really horrified me. These incels are scary creatures.
But then I started watching the Ted Bundy Tapes thing on Netflix and realized incels aren't a new thing at all.
Being a woman and the mother of two young women, this kind of thing really tears at my soul.
Does society really raise boys to have that much arrogance and entitled thinking?
“All I wanted was a girlfriend, not 1000, not a bunch of hoes, not money, none of that. All I wanted was to be loved, yet no one cares about me,” the since-deleted post read. “I’m 27 years old, I’ve never had a girlfriend before and I’m still a virgin, this is why I’m planning on shooting up a public place soon and being the next mass shooter cause I’m ready to die and all the girls [that] turned me down is going to make it right by killing as many girls as I can see.” [people.com]
Classic INCEL creep. Outrageous and disgusting. I 'm glad that they nailed him.
That's not Toxic Masculinity that's homicide.
He thinks the world owns him something and will retaliate if he don't get it.
When he turns it to woman it can be ugly.
Domestic violence has the same principle. The guy thinks he deserves to be treated like a king, and become violent if frustrated
@maturin1919 The intent was homicide.
@Pedrohbds Toxic Masculinity as defined would require that men as a whole or society turns a blind eye to the guy. Allowing the violence to occur further supporting the hegemonic masculinity.
@maturin1919 "Thats not Toxic Masculinity thats (the intent was) homicide."
Correction. For the grammar police.
@maturin1919 apparently not the word intent was inferred but didn't carry through. I thank you for making me realize I need to be more concise. I wrote that in an attempt to write shorter accurate blurbs.
I cannot help but feel contempt for men like this. Their attitudes and outlook are abysmally bad. I have to remind myself that they are sick and damaged human beings. I am all for helping those of them who can be saved, but I'm more concerned for the women who are potential victims.
