told men don't feel, don't love, don't care
Yes, that's what feminists mean when we speak of toxic masculinity. Societal enforcement of rigid gender roles are bad for women and men.
This is basic, foundational stuff in modern feminism.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

So why is it the self-proclaimed feminists in here who are pushing back the hardest on anon’s claims?
You’d think they would embrace this as evidence that #NotAllMen are violent and sexist, yet they’re fighting me tooth and nail on it.
MacNCheezus comes to in a pool of blood and straw.... shaking his head to regain focus, he stands up ready for another round.
You. Will. Not. Defeat. Me. Straw. Man.

What is this Lemcel shit?
were on lemmy but it's 4chan posting, to be expected sadly
I thought we post and discuss greentext to make fun of them, not to agree with them.
from the comments op made here it doesn't seem like that
Oh that's why I'm making fun of him in this thread too.
Yeah, that is the impression I got as well
Damn, all I'm seeing here is hella moid coping and seething 💅
says dumb shit gets called out for saying dumb shit they're coping and seething so hard
> try dunking on someone online > can't even use escape characters > mfw
how will I cope, I am bad at formatting lemmy posts! Ive truly failed as a human being
So very close to identifying the patriarchy and that men are victims of it too, and then wild miss at the end. sigh so, so close.
I could tell from mthe outset that this was going to be sexist, probably the fact it took the stance of "men do x" over "men also do x", but I didn't anticipate the final line being outright misogyny.
There is less pre-modern art by women because women were either censored or indoctrinated into roles where they couldn't create, which is the primary sin of the patriarchy.
There is a myth of men knowing love because the myth of the powerful, rational man doesn't accommodate for this, and what perpetuates that myth? That's right, the patriarchy again.
It's heartbreaking to see someone see through the patriarchal myth of masculinity and arrive at the conclusion that men are objectively better at creation and love than women
I think a few people here have to remind themselves:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Okay but sometimes Anon is actually right. Which is kinda crazy, but a broken clock can be correct twice a day. Not all Anon says is true, but you get my point.
Maybe at times, but holy shit not this Anon!
I'd say this Anon is partly correct. Men do feel emotions. And women definitely have very high levels of consumption of the romantic genre of recreational media. Maybe the only thing Anon got wrong is "men created/invented love," which is obviously not true.
I think Anon might mean that men create a lot of romantic media, which is true. I don't know if it is more than the amount of romatic media created by women. Probably about equal, I would imagine. But I suppose it could be imbalances, I am not an expert on romance media, after all.
Also, given how people act these days, I honestly don't blame Anon for actually believing women would rather try to talk to a bear than the average man. Not that that is right, or even real. But I get why someone would feel that way.
Okay, okay, I see your point.
Part of me feels like I am seen as a dangerous person in public (Being 6'3 and Autistic and all that), despite the fact there is evidence against that, so I do understand Anon to that extent.
Although I do see (at least parts of) feminism as having solutions to this dilemma, not the problem like Anon thinks.
The impression someone gives in public is based on a lot more than height, and although autism does factor in its not usually a physical danger. Body language and facial expressions are more important, you can tell if someone's stressed, or in a rush, or calm. There was a guy who was crazy tall at my last job, like nearly 7 feet tall, but he was always very polite and made funny jokes, and not once did I feel afraid of him.
