#maleprivilege — Public Fediverse posts

I've always loved nature, and enjoyed walking the many parks in and around State College while I was in school. Here's a winter hike with friend, Parri, in 1973. #nature #naturalbeauty #beautyofnature #beautiesofnature #hiking #walking #strolling #outdoors #outofdoors #snow #snowy #winter #wintersolstice #solstice #winterseason #seasons #baretrees #park #parks #statecollege #highereducation #pennstate #machoentitlement #maleprivilege #masculinesuperiority #patriarch #patriarchy

I am highly allergic to cowardly men, from all/every background. I especially have zero respect for cowardly white men, who grew up with many privileges that were never open to women like me. I'm angrier at non-white, cowardly men - who should/often do know better but still choose to not use their male privileges to do anything much to help non-white women/children who suffer under patriarchal crap. I'm angrier at them because they choose to protect their personal privileges over doing better for non-white folks with lesser privileges.
Men - it's your job to teach other men to brave the hell up, much more. They dismiss voices of women, almost all the time.

Ook hier slaat #Schimmelpenninck de plank volledig mis door niet het door het #patriarchaat opgelegde ideaal als onderliggende factor te benoemen, typisch… #mansplaining

“Op straat voelt driekwart van de jonge vrouwen (tussen de 18 en 34 jaar) zich regelmatig onveilig – en mannen voelen zich daar nauwelijks verantwoordelijk voor.”

When I started to “pass”, I noticed the change in how people treated me. Not all of a sudden; there was no single big, obvious moment, but loads of small ones. There were moments that cis people would easily brush off. But when you’ve lived on both sides of the line, it’s hard not to notice.

Early Access: Transmasc apologies for #malePrivilege: do we need them?

There are limited studies on how #transmasculine people experience the harms of #sexist and #patriarchal views, but speak to any transmasc person, and they’ll be able to tell you how common those harms are. Anxiety or trauma from these experiences may be why some transmascs believe they can’t transition without becoming an oppressor.

"Seven Minutes in Heaven" the teen kissing game, originated in 1953, and is still around today. Like much in our patriarchal society, it's not much fun for gay kids.

"I think all the bits of the fallout we’re focusing on now are a mass displacement activity, driven subconsciously or consciously by men so we don’t have to reckon with the fact that we now have searchable records of the way some of the most powerful guys in the world, who have huge sway over our lives, talk and think about women. And about girls."

In my comment I also shared an older post about thoughts on #MalePrivilege, or lack thereof, as a Black transmasculine person.

“Men who are high-value men, like Stephen Miller, take risks. They’re brave, they’re unafraid, they’re confident and they’re on a mission. And they have younger wives with beautiful children.”

"Charlie Kirk’s entire platform in life and his martyrdom following his death have been the fruit of a movement that centers young, straight white guys, who, despite being the beneficiaries of every advantage and opportunity, still manage to imagine themselves the victims, still believe they are the downtrodden underdogs."

Quickly drawn comic about the nonsense logic of transphobes who discount trans women as women, yet still oppose them going #topless in public (like the occasional topfree trans women protests in the UK)

They dismiss mainstream media as biased, adopt an informal conversational tone, and celebrate the virtues of libertarianism alongside what they describe as 'free'—and their critics label conspiratorial—thinking. Having transitioned from evangelizing to influencing, Lentz should have no problem attracting a sizable audience."

He believes he's "entitled" to reclaim his public platform and that his disciplining for sexually abusing women under his pastoral care was a manifestation of "cancel culture."

As she concludes,

"The most successful podcasters are white, straight, conservative-leaning men, who denounce all manner of tradition."

Take the case of celebrity pastor Carl Lentz, fired from his cushy pulpit at Hillsong NYC church after two women credibly brought charges against him of sexual impropriety including (one of the women) sexual abuse.

As Krivulskaya reports, Lentz has now reinvented himself as a podcaster-influencer who's raking in money, monetizing his abuse scandal.

Lost your puplit due to a disgraceful sex scandal?

Not to worry: all is not lost.

As Suzanna Krivulskaya says, "scandal-prone evangelical ministers over the past several generations have been remarkably successful at minimizing their transgressions in order to return to the pulpit."

An addendum to the short video I just posted about how banning porn is not going to normalize nonsexual nudity, about why I then get so angry that I'm forced to use porn sites just to have my heinous female nipples visible.

porn is the solution, not the problem. If nonsexual nudity (or even just female nipples) were allowed to exist ALONGSIDE porn, it would just demonstrate the difference between the two that much more clearly.

Sorry to be a broken record about this, but #gender based #censorship makes NO SENSE (except "because #patriarchy"). It doesn't happen often, but what keeps me going in my seemingly-fruitless endeavor to raise awareness about and hopefully change the bs status quo of "female - looking nipples" getting banned online and in public as "sexually explicit nudity" but not "male-looking nipples" is when someone comments to me "you know, I never really thought about topless inequality before, but now that you've pointed it out, you're right--it IS sexist and doesn't make sense!"

There's a topless dad wandering around this playground full of kids and I'm SOOOO tempted to yell "put a shirt on, you pervert! Think of the children!" 😏

I mean, if female nipples, which actually serve a reproductive biological purpose, are "harmful to children," then so too must male nipples, right? Right??

"because female-looking nipples are sexually explicit nudity but male-looking nipples aren't!"

"says who?"

".... Men!"

*gestures "there you go"*

"wElL aCtUaLlY, the ones who complain about women going topless in public are other women!"

1. This is not true. Look at the genders of most of the repliers on any social media post about #freeTheNipple

2. Even if it was, the presence of internalized #misogyny does not disprove #patriarchy.

3. Even if women were the ones to complain the loudest about other women going topless in public, men are the ones deciding on the legislation and censorship policies that categorize "female nipples" as "sexually explicit nudity" but not "male nipples".

I've been doing research for a video I'm going to make called "the 'isms of nudism" that highlights the many barriers underprivileged people face to practicing #nudism / #naturism that the predominantly straight white cis male nudist crowd are wholly unaware of because of their privilege, and it's amazing how many of these straight white cis male nudists insist there are no actual barriers... I had one insist very smugly--a black nudist, in fact! but otherwise straight and cis-- that in nudist places if there's a group of three women and 40 men, """naturally""" none of them will get harassed(???) Meanwhile in the same paragraph, he said women in gender-equal spaces "act aggressively" and "get away with it"... helloooo red flag.
