PlasmaDistortion, in Similar to the other post, what gifts are you getting other men in your life?

A straight edge razor shaving kit.

This is a repost

gapbetweenus, in Opinion | Why Aren’t More People Getting Married? Ask Women What Dating Is Like.

I feel like at least in Europe a lot of people see marriage as an outdated concept.

Rentlar, in The trouble with boys isn’t boys: "The way we talk about them has become the way to talk to them, and that’s not good for anybody."

It’s a tough balance to strike for sure. Part of female empowerment is to de-program young and old adults from environments where male identity was default/dominant and that’s absolutely important. For kids on the other hand that don’t have that default to begin with, it is definitely possible for them to feel left out or alienated if given that same unbalanced messaging.

e_t_, in From a young age, boys are expected to bulk up at the expense of their emotional and mental health.

At some point when I was young, I came to believe you could be either smart or athletic. I chose smart. Now, I think that was a false choice, causing me to subconsciously give up on my body.

HeartyBeast, in Study suggest men refuse to ditch meat because it threatens their masculinity

Pretty bad editorialising of the headline there, OP. That's really not what the study showed. It was more nuanced than that.

BuddyTheBeefalo,

Which headline/article are you getting? I edited it 30 seconds after posting. Maybe there are federation problems with the update.

edit: from lemmy.ca it looks like the preview of the article is not updated, the link is. from lemmy.ml, everything is fine.

Ah, I’m seeing “ Study suggest men refuse to ditch meat because it threatens their masculinity”

My apologies, when I read the article originally, it had a very different headline.

Edit Original headline I saw was: "New study finds that masculine language, reshapes men’s perspectives on vegan dishes "

dumples, in Men want to be sexualized more. They should talk to women about that.
@dumples@kbin.social avatar

I like this article but I feel like it's missing a few things. It's missing some details about how normal male sexuality is demonized by the current sex negative culture. This includes simple things such as wanting to look at porn, wanting to masterbate and being attracted to multiple people. These are demonized into saying that men are pigs and this doesn't even fit the kink desires that most men get at puberty. This are completely demonized as some perverted desire especially those unmanly submissive desires. Even the as simple desire to be watched as a sexual being. This sex negative push drives great shame and anger especially towards those who can be viewed as a sex object. This drives a hate towards women and gay men who can dress sexy or slutty while the traditional manly man can't at all.

jadero, in Where did the construction workers go?

I can’t speak to the general problem, but I can tell you why I left construction and manual labour more generally.

A lot of the work is still as damaging to the body as it was in 1930.

Toxic coworkers enabled and even encouraged by psychopathic supervisors.

Safety is not only not built in to procedures, but actively mocked and even deliberately worked around, even when doing so slows things down.

And all that for less than double minimum wage for experienced workers when it used to be easily triple minimum wage to start.

TotallyHuman, in Men In The US Are Peeing Incorrectly According To Urologist

We conclude that the sitting posture is the best position for men with urination problems, e.g. due to an enlarged prostate to urinate in, whereas no difference was found in healthy men

Buried near the bottom. Clickbait headline.

The title should be prepended with the word: Older. Sitting to pee is better for men with prostate issues.

Sharpiemarker, in [DISCUSSION] Would you feel comfortable using a male contraceptive medication?

As comfortable as I’d be with a woman taking contraceptives. None are completely safe and there haven’t been nearly enough studies on their effects (particularly the mental health implications).

Just because there hasn’t been enough study on men’s birth control, doesn’t mean we put the burden of contraceptives on women alone.

Aagje_D_Vogel, in I'm a trans man. I didn't realize how broken men are

This story reminds me of an ex girlfriend that wanted me to open up. So I did. She left me after that. The end result was good though, as it made me realize I needed some professional mental assistance.

GrayBackgroundMusic,

That’s my experience, too. Most of the times I’ve opened up to a girlfriend, it’s turned them off. They thought they wanted me to, but they regretted it, which made me regret it. Either that or they later used it to manipulate me. So I just stopped.

Ironfist, in I'm a trans man. I didn't realize how broken men are

well, women also get more attention therefor they are less lonely. Just look at dating apps: women get flooded with likes and messages, but men… good luck getting a like and if you get one, good luck getting a conversation where you are not the only one putting some effort.

jmbmkn, (edited ) in Benevolent sexism: a feminist comic explains how it holds women back

I’m sad that this comic is still needed. I thought we figured this out a while ago. I remember being super weirded out at a colleague saying he worshipped women. That moment and probably things I read around the time solidified in my kind to treat women and other genders the same as I’d men.
