4 teenagers arrested after a #stabbing in #Cambridgeshire - this does look like a targeted attack, also the lads arrested came from areas some distance away where it would be difficult to get to without access to a car - its a warning how bad #ToxicMasculinity has become if they put all that effort into travelling just to commit this #crime (and these things often happen over trivial reasons)

[no men's comments]

The "She Matters" mural in Hosier Lane, Melbourne - a mural that names the women who have been killed in attacks of gendered violence, has been vandalised.

The perpetrators painted "war on men" across the names and pictures of the women murdered.

We can't even have our grief.

I'm so tired of men.

When I rise to power, one of my first acts will be to establish national cuddle clinics for all those emotionally neglected souls who think volume equals value.

We get it. Your dad should’ve hugged you.

There's no need to install a jet engine on your scooter.

"An entire generation of men has been conditioned to embrace the worst aspects of an alleged 'strongman.' Trump is the flagbearer, and he has minions all across social media and right-wing news outlets. They understand that politics runs downstream from culture and can Trojan horse their authoritarian politics through sports, gambling, video games, and comedy."

A number of commentators today are noting the attempt of the Trump regime and its epigones to spin the tariff madness (and destruction) as boys being boys, a favorite theme of Republicans, since one can hardly blame boys for behaving like boys. Bless their hearts, behaving badly is just what men do after all, Republicans love to inform us.

On this topic, see Media Matters on Fox News' spin of the tariffs as "manly."

As Evan Hurst notes, Vera Papisova spent a year dating alt-right men to find out what makes them tick (this is so difficult to figure out?) and ended up comculding that on the whole they're “erratic, violent and incapable of managing their emotions." But, get this, "we" are somehow responsible that they're that way, since "we" have pushed them into isolation.

Himpathy much?

As with school shooters, let's stop giving free publicity to toxic masculinity and instead drown them in Positive Masculinity like these kids do.

Coleman Spilde is right. Essential tv for all: "I’d go as far as to say that "Adolescence" should be required viewing for all teenagers, & certainly a condition of having a phone. If a teen wants to be tapped into the digital echo chamber, they have to know what it can do to them. Goodwill & hope that parents will raise their children correctly aren’t enough when the worlds inside of their phones can undo all of that learning."
