What a ****.....
Well quite. It doesn't help my view of his witterings that he recently appeared on Celebrity Bear Grylls Island (or whatever it's called) and revealed himself to be a lazy, selfish, entitled, spoilt little prick in urgent need of a solid right-hander.
You watch that stuff?
It was on straight after bake-off and featured Iwan Thomas revealing himself to be the thickest man on the planet
I’m not proud, a. I’ll watch any old shīte if I’m honest.
Fair enough. It's not pride that leads me to avoid such content, but fear of excruciating discomfort.
I think the phrase 'solid right hander' might mean something else these days.
Anyone who utters the phrase toxic masculinity is a complete and utter ****.
Not long before the dialectic kicks into action and the antithesis of "toxic feminism" starts to circulate.
In fact, shall we start it? Shall we meme it up?
It already exists. They're called 'TERFs' (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists).
Basically, they're actual women who rather resent blokes in frocks rocking up and telling them what being a woman is all about.
Much, I imagine, as black people would react to a white bloke covered in boot polish explaining the black experience to them.
Apart from anything else, it contains a redundancy because what the users of the phrase actually mean is that masculinity in its commonly and historically understood sense is - by its very nature - toxic.
It's almost up there with 'mansplaining' in my shítlist of bullshít quasi-feminist terms.
IF YOU'RE WRONG AND I POINT IT OUT, LOVE, THAT'S NOT 'MANSPLAINING', IT'S 'EXPLAINING'! AND IT USUALLY HAS TO BE DONE BECAUSE YOU'RE A BIT THICK. ACCUSING ME OF 'MANSPLAINING' DOESN'T MAKE YOU ANY LESS WRONG OR ANY LESS THICK!
That article is total and utter *******s from start to finish. Rambling nonsense. "Most men feel more comfortable killing themselves than acknowledging pain".....where the **** does he get that from? Total and utter ****!Apart from anything else, it contains a redundancy because what the users of the phrase actually mean is that masculinity in its commonly and historically understood sense is - by its very nature - toxic.

The problem with this sort of **** is that it addresses masculinity from the feminist perspective, where women are oppressed and men are their oppressors. It therefore seeks to adjust masculinity as retribution- not in a constructive sense that realigns traditional gender roles but as a punishment, a reparation for years of oppression. Thus masculinity is realigned to suit feminism, men must be reconstructed in a way that suits women.
Well that is ****ing horse**** and, given the assumption that we are the evil agents of oppression, why would we agree to it?
The cancer at the heart of the last 30 years of feminism has been the narrative that men made the destruction of entrenched gender roles necessary. It ignores the fact that men are just as trapped in their entrenched roles and at no point has feminism acknowledged or tackled this. The inevitable consequence is a society of imbalance, as only one side of the balance is addressed.
If we are toxic it is because feminism poisoned us.
