This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.


Rules

Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people


Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.



Be productive


Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.

Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:

  • Build upon the OP
  • Discuss concepts rather than semantics
  • No low effort comments
  • No personal attacks


Assume good faith


Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.



No bigotry


Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.



No brigading


Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

I saw this for the first time the other day. I think this is a hilarious yet compassionate and even-handed take on the discourse around masculinity. She analyzes and/or satirizes different prevailing mindsets that we commonly see in such discussions, and she builds toward a call to action for men to speak openly with one another and build a new masculinity model for the modern man. I really like how she presented this.

I think it's actually a really cool take and I agree with what she says, though I do think it's missing the notion that the "idyllic" hegemonic masculinity we are expected to live into today is not the only form masculinity can take. Some people like R.W. Connell would argue that there are many masculinities--that there is more than one way to be masculine. While I do think it would be great for young men and boys to have a new model of masculinity to aspire to, I think it would be better to have multiple models that fall under the umbrella of "masculinity" but represent varying healthy models for different presentations.

All in all, though, this is not only a great video, but an important one. Thank you for sharing, OP!
