I think you’re beating up a straw man here….

Welfare is a couple hundred dollars at most, usually much less than that.

Stop worrying about what everyone else is eating and worry about yourself.

If you want to make products healthier on a larger scale, then pass regulations concerning toxic chemicals and labeling for food products.

Limiting people in literal poverty from having a lollipop or a candy bar with their money is not the answer.

No. When the corporations ruin the entire economy and say they don’t have any money we also bail them out.

Are you worried about corporate welfare recipients as well, or do you just like the smell of poor people farts?

lol… I’m just tired of people trying to gate keep basic needs as though they somehow know better than poor people what they need.

If we checked what government subsidized millionaires and billionaires spent their money 10% as much as how we do poor people we could actually save money…..

Food stamps and wic and other programs are generally less than a couple hundred dollars. It’s not your business what they spend it on.

Is this the guy with the brain defect who doesn’t know what fear is.

Eat your own nutritious food. Stop sniffing poor people ass, mind your own business

Just give them money, I don’t care if they want hookers and blow

It’s none of your business what poor people spend their money on.

It’s a nanny state. Sure, candy and soda is bad for you, and america has an obesity problem, but I’m against this.

Just give people money and let them buy what they want / need.

I’m tired of pedophiles and gay homophobes shaming poor people for having a soda and a candy bar. (Edit: not my intention to associate lgbtq with pedophiles, but it seems a lot of homophobes are into it. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being gay, but republifuckers need to mind their own business in general and stop judging others for the behaviors they are ashamed to participate in themselves.)

The pope has absolute power and authority over the Catholic Church. If Trump were elected pope I guarantee the first thing he would do is empty the bank accounts of the church, sign over all the property they have all over the world to himself, collect all the art etc, perhaps make the Sistine chapel his personal residence, and ban everyone except security and family from entering the Vatican.

It would be hilarious. The Catholic Church is one of the wealthiest entities in the world… and Trump would immediately put it all in his name permanently if he became pope.

You seem to be willfully ignorant, I assume you are talking out of your ass in bad faith.

He fucked around and now he is finding out.

China called his bluff on the tariffs, Americans need cheap plastic crap from target more than china needs anything we have.

Trump is desperate to quickly make this appear as a win so he can pull back the crazy tariffs but Xi is mocking him.

Ten year olds operate the drones 👀

Remote control zipper porn, yes!

I hear you….

It’s not about a gotcha, it’s about addressing a real problem facing young men and boys, and it’s the reason they are turning to asshats like Tate.

Stop telling young men and boys they are toxic in front of their peers.

Also, please define toxic femininity

You say this is “cope”? I don’t know what that means

I’m giving you an upvote because I actually like this topic and you seem genuine, and also because I’m still always trying to learn more….

I actually had the same thought when I was typing my response about how teaching white kids about how our country (USA) was founded on slavery, the idea of “white guilt” edit (I couldn’t remember what it was called though)

But I don’t think it’s a fair comparison.

Black people are not 50% of the population, and are not…. In the same sense, forced to live here and also forced to deal with systemic oppression…. In the same way. (Edit: I’m saying black folks have gone through ten times worse than what “women” {or “men”} have gone through)

(Edit: CAN YOU SEE HOW WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ISSUES MEN AND BOYS ARE DEALING WITH, and trying to work through and discuss, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME THE ASSUMPTION IS THEY THEY ARE NOT THE VICTIMS BUT THE AGGRESSORS? This is why, to answer the question of the original post)

Like I said, I had the same thought about it.

I still think class is more fundamental. I think race sex class issues are not equal. I think that maybe, race and sex issues stem from the class issues. Still trying to figure it out though, I’m not the end all be all of arbiter of how things are…. Okay, I might be but I don’t make any assumptions about it or rub it in anyones’ faces or anything like that…. 👀

I have to feed my dogs though before I can respond to the rest one sec

Edit: so the first point about we are not teaching kids (young men and boys) they are toxic?

I would argue that teaching them about toxic masculinity without having any reference or ever having used the word positive masculinity before, that yes, we are indeed teaching our young men and boys that they are toxic.

And for your last point… oh come on now there’s appropriate times for acting like Dirty Harry, especially if you can make jokes in stressful situations…..

Edit: the more I think about the comparison to white guilt argument is it reminds me of everything I understand about intersectionality…. I think my main complaint is that teaching young people graduate level race and gender theories without all the prerequisite understandings needed to take those courses, we are leaving our kids to tell each other to check their privilege and writing off anyone who disagrees with us, which in elementary school means writing off the guy who made fun of your mother for being so fat or skinny or so dumb she sits on the television to watch the couch.

Toxic masculinity and privilege are systemic issues, not issues related to whether bully Johnie gave me a wedgie or not. (Although it could be I suppose 🤷‍♂️)

Done except for grammar etc sorry for so many edits

I honestly believe that teaching young people about the academic ideas of toxic masculinity has contributed to this problem. We are telling young boys and men (who don’t even know what masculinity even is yet) that men are toxic.

It’s dumb. It’s not like we are teaching what non toxic femininity or non toxic masculinity is or even what it looks like, we’re just telling them that men are toxic rapists. It’s ridiculous.

I get it, like maybe in the context of a sex education class, teach kids what consent looks like, but teaching kids about academic ideas like the patriarchy and toxic masculinity just makes them feel like they were born with sin or something for being a sexual human being.
