a feminist sent me this in a debate about toxic masculinity

this is gold comedy lmao

feminists think that being masculine is literally a competition league where you get points for violence and cat-calling women on the streets

"One of the primary reasons that boys and men gay bash and bully queers is that they need to perform masculinity in order to show the world that they’re in the Box."

"In effect, the performance of masculinity requires constant vigilance to make sure that nobody sees any missteps. Since the logic of the box is an either/or, you’re either all the way in or you’re all the way out."

this is what feminists unironically believe

"The Box is one of main reasons why men harass women on the street and why catcalling and violence tends to escalate when men are in groups. Since the Box is hierarchical as well as performative, the guy at the bottom of the heap is at risk of being cast out. So each guy has to compete with the others in order to not be the one who’s outside the Box. And as each one’s performance becomes more vigorous, it forces the others to do the same."

they are very badly representingly their metaphor

I would not normally consider a Box to have anything sort of a heirarchy... its a box

maybe she should have called it a pyramid?

or a cylinder

the masculinity ladder?

mixing metaphors without properly adapting them is just confusing

im wondering where i can see my ranking

they just invent this stuff and treat it like science. its not, its just theory

and illogical theory, being generous...

"the box"

you mean like your current Man Points

are you worried you are low on Man Points

god, fuck them

excuse me are you threatening my masculinity???

oh god im about to fall outside the box

better go cat-call women on the street to raise my points up before its too late!!

I hear right now you can earn triple Man Points by being flagrantly drunk in public and hitting on middle aged female Uber drivers

thanks for the tip my fellow real man!

my pleasure

"it requires the ability to hold onto both the fact that the Box hurts us all and that it gives heterosexual cisgender men privilege."

we are super privileged

i can confirm every single cisgendered white man meets at the illuminati council every sunday

Hi all

I couldn't imagine being a female uber driver

could you imagine being a male one

Yes I did it for a year

how would being a female one differ?

I would imagine then being subject to more abuse

you get complimented on how good you look

Sexual harassment

in that case, dump him off on the street

Well yeah on the flip side they probably earn more in tips

or her

But people already feel very entitled because they are paying for a service
