And yet many people tend to mistake them for each other. While being masculine is not inherently wrong or even enjoying your masculinity. However, misogyny should definitely vanish especially in this day and age. It is the toxic masculinity that we should be afraid of which basically “refers to behaviors that enforce problematic notions of masculinity, such as a predilection for aggression and the corollary that men who don’t meet these standards are lesser.”
However, men aren’t the only ones who have internalized misogyny as many women have come to believe that men acting this way is how a ‘real man’ should be like. That is what we can see in the instance below. What started out as what could be described as harmless but weird jokes between a husband and wife quickly turned into a very ugly debate.
The person who started it all was Federalist writer Denise McAllister when she decided to teach women how to treat their husbands properly when they are watching a game.
This is Denise, the offending party in all this fiasco.
If I didn’t know any better, I would say this is a very bad joke but sadly she thinks she is a saint for acting this way.
As one can imagine, Twitter quickly blew up after the initial tweet.
Not only do these stereotypes hurt women but they hurt men as well.
Somethings should just stay between a family and not bragged about in public.
Many people commented on how it sounds like she has been trained to act this way.
All in all, Twitter had a lot to say about this interaction.
And it soon became a sort of a meme on the Internet.
While this can be seen as an exaggeration, things didn’t stop there.
It might be that she likes to be treated this way which is her own decision and we shouldn’t interfere.
Some Twitter users even had their owns stories to share on how they dealt with this kind of behavior.
Even many conservative families wouldn’t listen to this advice.
Others were quick to call it demeaning and shameful towards your partner.
Being passionate about something does not mean you can ignore a human being especially the one you supposedly love.
That would have been a funny twist but it sadly did not end that way.
And then there were people who flipped the script right on its head.
You would think it would change when the woman was on the other side but it remained just as demeaning.
Telling your partner that you don’t want to be disturbed is perfectly fine.
But not like this.
I understand the concept of wanting to be of some service to the person you love, male or female. I even understand shushing your significant other for interrupting something you’re into. But intent matters. Her husband was not being friendly or joking, and he was acting like the game was more important, and she was acting like a servant submissive woman.
And I guarantee that he would not allow her to behave as he does, and he doesn’t serve her the way she serves him. If they’re cool with it then good for them, but I can still have the opinion that their relationship must s*ck. -Mewton
After all of the hate she was getting, she decided to ‘fight’ back.
And it was just to hate homosexual relationships.
What is a purpose of a man? I was not aware specific genders had special purposes.
As Yashar puts it here, being proud of who you are is key in accepting yourself.
Moreover, she said she stands up for men being free in their masculinity but apparently only the sort of masculinity that she likes?
Loving your partner and being treated like a stereotypical woman in the ’50s are not related.
The Twitter fiasco ended when she regaled us with the news of her being fired.
While everyone has things they like to do doesn’t mean one has to show it off to the whole Internet when you know you will get backlash. However, she did brought this upon herself when she decided to crusade against gay men and how they are not ‘real men’.
