(21 Aug) - Guns, Republicans and “manliness“: We all suffer from the right’s mental health crisis -- Republican men seem massively troubled about their masculinity — and that’s literally causing death and suffering https://www.salon.com/2023/08/20/guns-and-manliness-we-all-suffer-from-the-rights-mental-health/ #Salon #Guns #Republicans #Manliness #MentalHealth #DeathAndSuffering #Politics #News https://mastodon.sdf.org/@uspolitics/110924919070553623

A smart, thoughtful, and surprisingly on-target piece on the social causes of gun violence in America—from a person generally considered as coming from the Left.

He doesn't need to go into the manliness mythology promoted by the NRA because Hollywood is doing that for them with greater penetration and impact.

"They call them 'action' movies— they should call them _revenge_ movies, because that's the plot of every one of them.

And there's a sick similarity in the revenge fantasies Hollywood turns out and those of school shooters."

If you’re a dad and don’t have the skills to take care of your kids, you’re engaging in toxic masculinity. You shouldn’t rely on your partner to parent. #parenting #masculinity #manliness #toxicmasculinity

Thumos - the Greek concept of the "seat of life" and the energy that fills a person. It's the drive, the juice to action, and the thing that makes the blood surge in your veins. Distinct from other components of the soul, you can talk to it, tell it to endure, be strong, or be young. The Greeks saw thumos as serving several interrelated functions and the Romans equated it with manliness. #GreekPhilosophy #Thumos #Manliness

Good man, that Nick Offerman. I saw a hashtag #ManlinessIsOverrated and I thought, it’s not manliness that’s overrated, it’s this stereotype of masculinity that’s constantly being sold to us guys

A quotation from Virgil:

«««««
But you! Your clothes
have violet and saffron stitching, your hobby’s
laziness, you love to dance, your tunics
have long sleeves and your hats are bonnets!
O Phrygian ladies (no men here), go prance over
Mount Dindyma’s ridge, where the double flute plays
your sort of tunes. Your tambourines and Mother Ida’s
boxwoods call you…
»»»»»

#Manliness isn’t owning guns, only speaking in grunts, or never crying. Manliness is having the courage to be your authentic self. Drink pink drinks if you want to, dance if you want to, wear dresses if they make you feel pretty. Let your daughter paint your nails. Watch the Super Bowl if you want to OR watch the puppy bowl instead if you want to. Having that courage makes you manly. #men #uspol

All the good men are either gay or living on a farm eating breast milk ice cream with their cow-obsessed wife. Am I right ladies?

Settling in for a cold #fall evening with my #parents, watching #CallTheMidwife. Not sure if I should be embarrassed, given the subject matter and my deeply ingrained #manliness, but...fuck all that. It's an awesome show.

An interesting article about the sexuality of homophobic men, with a couple of links to academic articles. I had thought that a lot of homophobic men were just arseholes, and that the idea that homophobes are in fact repressed gay men was a bit over-done. But maybe not.
