It’s ragebait. Ignore it. Even if it’s not, attention is what they want. Engagement feeds the algorithm. Ignore it.

I don’t think being homeless will toughen you up. More like break you mentally.

Transcription of their circlejerking, up to 0:30
[A] I think only men should be homeless. I don’t think, I don’t think women should be allowed to be homeless. [B] This is where the conversation was going to. [A] Because I honestly think that men need to toughen up, and I think if men were forced to be homeless, they would learn to be better men. Because that’s what made men manly in the past, [it] was having to build houses and stuff. [A] So if we just made men for like a year, I think, it would fix a lot of problems in society. [B] That would be so good, specially because we’re not, we don’t force men to do military any more like they used to. Make them homeless for a year. Let’s see how they fucking… [A] Yeah, make them just figure it out.
Let’s entertain a tiiiiny bit their view.
The problem of society, accordingly to those two, is that men aren’t “manly enough”, right? That prescribes the fixed roles, where men should be the “strong pillars” of society, and thus the ones deciding shit… and women obey and shut up, not being expected to emit their opinions.
So, what do we have here? Two muppets emitting an opinion that, ultimately, contradicts their right to omit opinions. Perhaps they should shut up.
This would be hilarious if not sad.

Is people is classic Ticktok and social media advise. Ah yes, make them homeless. What does that even mean exactly? At least with the military there is a clear requirement.
Thanks for the transcription

What’s crazy is attitudes like this are the most prevalent enforcement of patriarchy from a man’s perspective.

You first.

Men are in a constant competition to seem manlier than the person next to them.
Of course it’s not until later that it becomes obvious that it’s all just self esteem problems and not being comfortable with ourselves.
The ultimate manliness is realizing you don’t care if other people think you’re manly.

I see you're trying to be the bigger man by proclaiming you don't care. Not fooling me!

Who knows at this point! One of my make mentors said it to me years ago. I said something stupid like “isn’t that kind of girly?” About something and he replied “real men don’t care”. Shattered my toxic masculinity.
I’m waaay happier now, and realized I can be whoever I want. I can be an and still be a massive swiftie, enjoy hard rock while enjoying a rom com that same day, it’s just easier

Oh I agree - it’s just
shockingwell not anymore to see people pushing toxic masculinity THIS DAMNED HARD.lemann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
I’m very guilty of this, especially after someone close to me was assaulted by a predatory human being.
I don’t think there’s any easy way back when self esteem & self comfort are destroyed like that either, and just worsens the “competition” thing.
Fully agree with your last point

There will always be garbage, pants-on-heads stupidity on these platforms. I doubt the women saying this even believe what they are saying, it's all to drive engagement via outrage

Maybe they should try dating a conservative. It’ll come with its own downsides but if it’s a manly man you’re after I’d say that statistically you’re probably more likely to find one at that side of the isle. I’m sure this is not at all controversial thing to say.
While I’m at it I do agree with the underlaying issue here; a great number of modern men can’t do much of the things a stereotypical man could do say 40 years ago. Being able to stand up for yourself and to build and fix things for example is something women do care about wether they admit it or not. It’s one of those things that’s not exactly fair but true nevertheless. It’s biological and they can’t help it.

Your experience is not representative of the world.
Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Yes it is.
This is how convincing statements like that are when you just make a claim and then don’t back it up with anything.
GhostFence@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Then why don’t you go out and do it?
Mango@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ve been homeless for multiple. Lookin for my patron daddy now, UwU.
Haagel@lemmings.world 8 months ago
I was homeless for a year and I must admit that I learned and grew so much. The freedom and detachment is cathartic. It’s like a drug, however, in that you’re likely to lose yourself if you stay in that environment for too long.

Considering thousands of people recently protested in New York against a men’s shelter in real life it starts to become interesting to know who’s feeding that attitude and from where.
