    We never hated masculinity or strength in men; in fact, it’s what many women are attracted to. We just want that strength to be used to fight FOR us, not to oppress and exploit us. The men who bully others when they think we can’t fight back are pathetic cowards, because every fucking time they see any resistance, they run for the hills.

    Luigi attacked a member of the oligarchy; a mass murderer with the blessing of the state. He did not do the easy thing, but the hardest. The fucker that wrote this sees “woke feminists” as inherently pacifists, knowing only a history that whitewashed suffragette terrorists and Black Panthers. They think we just hate men, when even some Sapphic women find men like Luigi hot for killing nobility.

    We are not frustrated with most men because it’s “politically acceptable,” but because so many of them are pathetic cowards. Grow some balls and fight the powerful instead of the weak!

    Edit: duplicate word and autocorrect fix

      There people just want to control the narrative and make it seem when people talk about toxic masculinity, it means “all masculinity is toxic”. Same with how “free speech” got distorted into “bigots not getting called out for bigoted speech”.

      Very well said. Just wanted to clarify that the notion that men should always be strong and heroic is still toxic masculinity. Strength shouldn’t be celebrated for its own sake, what matters is how it’s used. Appreciate the men who struggle against anxiety and social expectations to still do what is right.

      I know that’s probably what you mean, but that last paragraph gave me flashbacks.
