Testosteron ist schuld an allem. Testosterone macht den Mann zum Mann. Testosterone ist, was Trailor jetzt hat. Und will er's? Über Queerness, Passing, Gatekeeping, Ängste, Lüste, stealth, strukturelle Gewalt, den richtigen Moment und wie immer die sich widersprechenden gleichzeitigen Gefühle, die Gebrochenheit der Identität und den Trouble mit dem wir bleiben.

【👫】Men shall never keep on spellbinding
women any more. Now liberate women from
#heterosexualism and #masculinity.

I reckon women should become unchained
from men. Shine #femininity and wake up
#lesbianism. Be proud and dignified!

Each #Woman shall never sell her soul, her
heart, and her body to every #man.

"#EverythingEverywhere All At Once is a genre bending multiverse movie but it's also one of the most challenging and subversive representations of #masculinity I’ve ever seen in any genre." Jonathan McIntosh

Finally saw #popculturedetective's (googly) eye-opening look at #Waymond (spoliers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7YnbGszcb8

darkdancinglady and a super weird incident

Today I had a wonderful shoot with DarkDancingLady. On our first set, this outfit made some weirdos in their car so angry that they yelled at us, spit on the model, which I didn't even notice when it happened because of the super loud street with many cars, and then they came back yelling at me and then sprayed me with lemonade. WTF. Just because we were doing these photos...later after we finished, three younger guys, maybe 15 or 16, who were on the side of the guys, insulted us, yelled at us and then threw stones at us...and yes, they even followed us.
What is wrong with the people?
I mean, this wasn't even such a naked outfit???

And yes, I also had incidents with ultra-German guys who punched our drone operator at a job that he bleed in his face... this was even with police (to protect us) etc. already on site... also had many accidents with "normal" people in South Germany etc... This was always a problem with guys and their weird masculinity...

"Red-pill" influencers preach gym and game, but here's the real secret to their lifestyle: steroids and escorts.

“We’re supposed to let our concerns, fears, our trepidations dissolve into silence: pick yourself up, don’t lament them, don’t focus on them, don’t discuss them … It locks all these things inside us, keeps us caged. It promotes a stoic, silent masculinity. It keeps us away from our most tender and vulnerable selves.”

Hey there, peeps! I know, I know, I just dropped the M-word — #Masculinity. Scary territory, huh? Well, fasten your seatbelts and stow away your preconceptions because we’re taking a little detour off the traditional highway of manhood.

If you need a textbook definition of #Toxic #Masculinity, it's Rubiales.

He aggressively and very publicly kisses a Hermoso without her consent (bordering on SA), and rather than apologising, taking his medicine and learning; he doubles down on it, claims he's being 'cancelled' and generally throws his toys out of the pram.

What a colossal bellend.

On Tue Aug 29, 7-9pm ET, I'm hosting an in-person #MensGroup in Salem, MA!

This is an offshoot of the online group I've posted about before. We have some info about what this will/could look like here (details are not set in stone):
https://wholeheartedmasculine.org/mens-groups/salem-ma/

If you're a man (trans men are men) or #masculinity-type person in the Greater Boston area, I'd love for you to join us. DM me or use the "contact" button on the website.

Please boost for reach and tell any friends who live nearby!

I would suggest to cis males that the so-called #masculinity crisis is really a crisis of #hypermasculinity, the cure for which is simply the acceptance of the #feminine in oneself and respecting #femininity in others, as frightening as that prospect may be. When there is harmony between masculinity and femininity, there will no longer be a need for either concept, and the false dichotomy will vanish.

@zens you are so, so right, both in your list of traits that embody positive #masculinity and in the fact that men have a responsibility to promote and uplift that definition and help each other live into it. I am a co-facilitator of a #mensGroup where we try to do exactly that. I hope you'll point folks our way! https://wholeheartedmasculine.org/mens-groups/

Gentlemen, let's talk about the "Nice Guy" trap! 🚫

It's time to redefine what it means to be a man in the dating world. Being respectful and considerate is great, but remember, setting clear boundaries is mandatory if you’re going to build any sort of real relationship! ⚖️

Women appreciate kindness, but they admire confidence and authenticity. When you prioritize others' feelings over your own, you unknowingly create an imbalanced dynamic. 🔄

It's not about playing games, it’s about showing that you know YOUR worth. Setting boundaries communicates that you respect yourself and your time, which is seriously attractive.

Learn how to do this now, genuinely and effectively, and start taking control of your life with women.

I tried to understand straight males through direct observation (they were everywhere around me of, course) and from the media. It was kind of an anthropological endeavor, since I wasn’t predisposed genetically to be straight, though culturally I was expected to be.

@dyfrig I'm part of a #MensGroup that's trying to offer alternative visions of #masculinity for exactly these reasons. Granted, we are not trying to do "influencer" tactics or grow a community of millions (or, at this point, even more than a few dozen, though we do see Wholehearted Masculine as part of a larger movement to some degree). But I'd love to know how well you think our messaging speaks to the needs and anxieties of the "Marks" of the world?

"To really deal with the problems among men would require people to engage in a conversation not just about masculinity, but patriarchy and white supremacy and capitalism” https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2023/08/boy-problems-andrew-tate-masculinity-crisis-manosphere/ < This is really good in engaging with why the manosphere looks so appealing to vulnerable men #masculinity
