  • Toxic feminity would be rather shaming other women for not being feminine enough, or something along these lines. Restricting even healthy aggression in women, forcing certain visual styles etc.

    But what you're seemingly talking about - women propagating toxic masculinity again - is very real, and something we should talk about (and I do here and there). After all, it's in the interest of everyone. Men can finally take a breather and be themselves, freed up from harmful expectations, and women will have to deal with much less dangerous aggression from men, alcoholic husbands etc.

    We just generally need to build a more compassionate society. And that absolutely entails being compassionate to men.

  • You're making an incorrect comparison here.

    Race, gender, etc. are: 1)Immutable 2)Not harmful, they just are

    Toxic masculinity is behavior, it: 1)Causes measurable harm 2)Can be changed

    It's not okay to put those things into the same bin. While I appreciate and somewhat applaud your effort to stand up for masculinity that many say is in crisis, this can be approached in a plethora of ways besides promoting objectively harmful behaviors.

  • Yeah, distro variety is a block for adoption, but when you do adopt Linux, you understand why they're there.

    Good thing community starts to center on a few distros for beginners, particularly Linux Mint + 1 or 2 more. (I'm a Manjaro adept, but ready to bury the hatchet to welcome newbies, and always do recommend Mint - it is good too)

  • On the second point: pick whatever you like, distros are surprisingly similar and differ in technical details you might not even care about.

    Oh, and don't go for Gentoo. Gentoo is great and has its place, but person with a healthy brain won't run this on desktop.
