"In Northern Ireland, as in England, the law prevents this: SV is permanently barred from applying to sever the tie with his abusive father."
"We must support those unknown, unnamed women who continue to fight for justice, accountability and change."

Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1841), “Self-Reliance,” Essays: First Series, No. 2More about this quote: wist.info/emerson-ralph-waldo/…

BELOVED: My love is fresh and ruddy,
to be known among ten thousand.
His head is golden, purest gold,
his locks are palm fronds
and black as the raven.
His eyes are like doves
beside the water-courses,
bathing themselves in milk,
perching on a fountain-rim.
His cheeks are beds of spices,
banks sweetly scented.
His lips are lilies,
distilling pure myrrh.
His hands are golden, rounded,
set with jewels of Tarshish.
His belly a block of ivory
covered with sapphires.
His legs are alabaster columns
set in sockets of pure gold.
His appearance is that of Lebanon,
unrivaled as the cedars.
His conversation is sweetness itself,
he is altogether lovable.

Maybe the regressive desire for a fossil fuel society goes with an intuitive response to the complexity of our period.
Here is Cara Daggett’s feature article on the subject: https://autonomy.work/portfolio/petro-masculinity-climate-refusal/

“The authoritarian practices required by fossil capital in the global south [and middle east] were often geographically separated from liberal forms of governance in the West. This made it possible for many… to remain ignorant of their complicity in fossil authoritarianism.”
"In the US post-war economy, fossil fuel systems functioned as the means to becoming a real man - if burning them entailed violence, this was constructed as an unfortunate side effect to be made invisible to privileged consumers. But fossil fuels have become a dead end, both for the planet and for the goal of middle-class jobs. In this context, burning fossil fuels can come to function as a knowingly violent experience, a reassertion of white masculine power on an unruly planet that is perceived to be increasingly in need of violent, authoritarian order."

Boys’ Friendships and the Crisis of Connection
As boys become men, they become distrustful, lose friendships, and feel isolated and alone.

MALCOLM: Be comforted.
Let’s make us med’cines of our great revenge,
To cure this deadly grief.
MACDUFF: He has no children. All my pretty ones?
Did you say “all”? O hell-kite! All?
What, all my pretty chickens and their dam
At one fell swoop?
MALCOLM: Dispute it like a man.
MACDUFF: I shall do so,
But I must also feel it as a man.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Macbeth, Act 4, sc. 3, l. 252ff (4.3.252-261) (1606)More about this quote: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

🧵 4/4 System Fix 3 & Conclusion
3. Naming-the-Feelings Protocol: If you can't name the emotion, you can't process it.
Action: Expand your emotional vocabulary beyond "fine" or "mad." Use terms like: frustrated, reflective, overwhelmed, grateful.
Fix: This builds a high-resolution emotional OS. When you process grief instead of just anger, you initiate the correct system repair process.
Final Thought: Restoring emotional capacity is the ultimate system upgrade!
It is not unmanly to feel—it is the deepest integrity. The strongest man has full emotional capacity.
What genuine emotion did the industrial system force you to label as "weak"?

"Today’s Republican Party is big on #manliness and masculine virtues. The #MAGA right in particular is forever obsessing over who is the biggest, the strongest, the most fearless among them.
This is why, watching President #Trump’s fight to keep a lid on the Epstein files, I have been struck, delighted even, that among the vanishingly few Republican lawmakers with the courage to defy him have been three fire-breathing #congresswomen: Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Nancy Mace of South Carolina."

The monotheistic religions made it normal to squash people: "I think there is something really special about the Bible [...] which is precisely this idea that the revelation of truth comes through the suffering of the weak." (Matthieu Poupart)
Then the Renaissance made it easier to blame the victim: With modernity, "it is the person who takes no initiative who is seen as responsible for the emergence of sexual promiscuity." (Matthieu Poupart)

10. Works cited / Video sources https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n2VawDpszhhOsGxhhve5F8u4yig2g4cdyBd-8v9ui5k/edit?usp=sharingI'd group "Men's Rights Activists" as disinGenderous, from the word disingenuous.
It means doing an act to be *observed* doing it ('Activism' to center anti-misogyny on men's feelings), not its expected intent (upholding Men's human Rights).I use MRAs to mean anyone using misogyny to sell shit, not "ACTUALLY trying to improve life for men and masculine people". https://www.thecalmzone.net/our-story
e.g. The UK has a charity called Campaign Against Living Miserably focused on dudes' mental health. They're not MRAs.
Like 'scientology' could be useful to describe the meta analysis of how we apply scientific methods more broadly, -- like historiography --- but instead just means a SciFi writer's post-death ponzi scheme.#disinGenderous #men #masculine #masculinity #TransMasc #TransMan #Manly #Manliness #boy #boys #Guys #gender #gendering #MagicWandWishList

Bandcamp https://munecat.bandcamp.com/Well this time I decided to investigate the Manosphere. The cult mentality of Red Pill think, how they monetise it, the narrative they are selling to their followers, and how this can result in some young men being funnelled into the alt-right pipeline.
I looked into influencers like Fresh and Fit, Kevin Samuels, Rich Cooper, Anthony Dream Johnson of the 21 Convention, Donovan Sharpe, Roosh V, Owen Cook and Julien Blanc to weave together how they are selling the ‘alpha male’ dream to their followers - some of whom will end up classing themselves as incels, after realising that the ‘foolproof’ pickup artist game techniques don’t work for them.
And they’re all having their misogynistic ideas backed up by the one and only Jordan B Peterson, of course.

I'm just including the whole damn description cuz why tf not. https://nebula.tv/videos/munecat-i-debunked-the-entire-manosphere/
not relevant to this but I just thought of what to group "Men's Rights Activists" as:
disingenderous.
(MRAs here being "anyone using misogyny to sell shit", not "people who are ACTUALLY trying to make life less shit for men and masculine people". https://www.thecalmzone.net/our-storye.g. In the UK, Campaign Against Living Miserably is a mental health charity focused on dudes. I wouldn't count them as MRAs.
A bit like how 'scientology' as a word could have been useful to describe the meta analysis of how we apply scientific methods more broadly, like historiography for history, but instead just means a SF writer's post-death ponzi scheme.)#men #masculine #masculinity #TransMasc #TransMan #Manly #Manliness #boy #boys #Guys #gender #gendering #MagicWandWishList

What to do if bullying? Try consistent boundaries
1. do not writhe or waver. (Movement attracts the bully)
2. do not attempt to appease. (Any offer is interpreted as weakness and obtains thrust)
3. flee to a safe position that you could hold with support
4. then stand still. Set limits on how others treat you. Affirm boundaries (The bully will redirect attacks eventually)
5. connect: turn to a trusted person, reach out only to someone you feel well about
6. offer backing, foster, become accomplice, enjoy#boundaries #community #safety #negotiations #negotiating #allies #support #retreat #relationships #consistency #fragility #tips #lifeHacks #attitude #standing #resources #domination #violence #personalSafety #groupSafety #psychology #sociology #solutions #bullying #bullies #appeasement #containment #geoPolitics #politics #USPol #USPolitics #Europe #defense #defence #harassment #Ukraine #war #silentSunday #manliness #masculinity #patriarchy #enjoy #joy #solidarity #dappledLight #childhood #selfWorth #self #selfCare #trauma #abuse #family #mentalHealth #selfStudy #personal #intimate #positive #recall #care #domesticViolence #ThePromise #KeepThePromise #dispair #resentment #recoil #acceptation #anarchism #geoPolitics #Russia #Zelensky #NATO #stroll #hiking #hedges #hedge

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt
The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be cynic, or fop, or voluptuary. There is little use for the being whose tepid soul knows nothing of the great and generous emotion, of the high pride, the stern belief, the lofty enthusiasm, of the men who quell the storm and ride the thunder.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, ParisSourcing, notes: wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/7…
