This is an article about the online communities of people who abstain from masturbation. It discusses the reasons people join these communities and the potential harms and benefits. Some people find these communities helpful in overcoming pornography addiction. However, there is concern that these communities spread inaccurate information and may overlap with extremist groups.
Well that’s fucking depressing but lines up with the MAGA banner comprised of the insecure and ignorant.
Wonder what society of manliness they want to go back to… Lynchings? The dark ages?
Tunker Carlston: MEN ARE GETTING TOO SENSITIVE.
(Tunker sees a rainbow flag and starts to rage)
Tucker is one of the last people I would take advice from on, well anything, but masculinity in this case.
You can actually be a manly man without being complete arse. I understand some of the backlash against feminism. Boys are struggling in our school systems. Title 9 is actually used to admit more young men to colleges now, for decades now actually.
I can even understand the popularity of some of the pick up artists who are popular among men who are not quite the “ladies man”. Better yourself, find things that help make you a better person. Get a hobby, work out. Make yourself interesting.
But these right wing pundits are fucking crazy.
I don’t like the term toxic masculinity (edit: if you are trying to better yourself and you say I don’t want to espouse toxic masculinity, I see that as useful (What i mean is that trying to apply it to anyone who offends or upsets you can be problematic.) other than as an idea discussed among academia, but god damn these asshats.
