Please chime in with the type of content and discussion you would like to see hear.
I’ve left up all the old posts instead of doing a thorough pruning (apparently it closed due to a lack of moderation letting too much slip through the cracks). If you’re interested in helping out without posting or moderating please report actively, while there is value in calling out in the comments and trying to teach leaving anything egregious up for too long could promote people blocking the comm even if they might otherwise want to see the “good” posts and/or milder learning opportunities.
Should probably do a poll on whether to be local only as well once it’s active again. So Sopranos emotes if you have an opinion on that.
Cheers
ey good to see!! as some of ya'll probably know i'd been more informally megathread posting about how patriarchy and conventional masculinity hurt us men and men-adjacents, good to have a dedicated space to discuss (among many, many other things) how it emotionally warps us and how we can show up in our lives as more caring and sweet people. Also could be a good avenue for venting about things like the ways in which modern dating norms hurt mascs (which while not as bad as femmes, are distinctly different and soul crushing in their own ways) without clogging up other feeds. Idk just my two cents, not at all comprehensive!
Yeah, I think it's important to acknowledge that toxic masculinity was not a term that emerged from women but rather it came from men as a way to describe the corrosive effects that masculinity demands of them
