The Aggrieved Aggressor’s Handbook many powerful men use when caught out, according to Arwa Mahdawi:

Step one: claim she was asking for it.

Step two: cast yourself as the victim.

Step three: weaponize the women in your life.

Big man Luis Rubiales has his mother on hunger strike for him, and big man Spazzo Pezzola had his wife and mother in the courtroom pleading his case.

As Nick El Hajj reports, Kuwait and Lebanon have moved to ban "Barbie" because, as the Lebanese Culture Minister states, the film has been found to was found to 'contradict values of faith and morality' and to 'promote homosexuality and sexual transformation.'

More confirmations that women haven't been relegated to the kitchen over the course of human history and that current gender roles are a fiction created by insecure men who are threatened by the idea of strong, variable women.

Barbie and Ken make us question these assumptions about biology-based gender roles and male dominance and female subordination, and about the way many religious groups now want to depict biology-determined gender roles and the male right to rul as the very heart of religion — when it's not.

It's all about the complementarianism, the belief that male and female roles are biologically determined, with a creator God determining that males are dominant and females are submissive, males meant to rule and run things and females to obey and submit — and Barbie and Ken run smack up against all these assumptions.

Rick Pidcock, who grew up in a right-wing white evangelical family and was forbidden to watch "Toy Story" because its trailer featured a group of bikini-clad Barbies, explains why the patriarchy is hyperventilating over Barbie.

There is almost no evidence that women stay at home while men hunt in hunter-gatherer societies. Indeed, in 80% of societies on record, women are active participants in hunting. Sometimes even not as the bait.

The idea that men hunt and women gather is a stereotype that does not reflect reality. A new study shows that women in hunter-gatherer societies also participate in hunting activities, and sometimes even more than men. This challenges the assumptions that hunting is a male domain and that gender roles are fixed.

Everything this article describes, from start to finish, is some of the stupidest shit I've ever heard of (and I get the impression the authors think so, too). Our current conception of "masculinity" is so narrow, fragile, and deranged. It has to be fixed.

(And don't even get me started on that "manmosa".)

I'm opting out of the whole damned thing. Maybe I can post more.
