‘When you have feminine hobbies/interests you’re lame and boring, when you have masculine hobbies/interests you’re just doing it for male attention and to be a ‘cool girl’.
‘When you demonstrate that you’re genuinely invested in a masculine hobby you’re ‘unfeminine’ and it’s a turn-off or even threatening. It’s a no-win situation!’

‘As a man, I see a lot of men who think it’s women’s jobs to fix us emotionally. Having a partner who supports you can be the help you need to help yourself, but it does not just happen, YOU have to do the inner work.
‘A lot of men will also (correctly) say that when they’ve tried to be vulnerable with women, they’re mocked for not being man enough.
‘This is horrible and this does happen and needs to stop, but too often these same men will not hold other men accountable for the same thing, who will say this about women while at the same time praising men like Andrew Tate who spout the same kind of poisonous shit that keeps men trapped.
‘We’ve got a be better at being emotionally supportive to our bro’s, it cannot only be on women to allow us to be emotionally open. We’ve got a be able to do and be that for our bro’s first.’

‘We all know that a lot of the way women are portrayed in movies and TV is for the ‘male gaze’, but some men seem to think that big, buff men, such as in superhero movies, are meant to appeal to the female gaze. In fact, a lot of male representation actually is designed to cater to the male gaze.
‘When something really does appeal to the female gaze, you can tell, because women get OBSESSED with it.’

‘Yep. Case in point, the various fangirl groups for Loki and Legolas. Complete with all sorts of thirsty fan art and fan fiction. Looks are a big part of it, but we like their personalities too.’
