This guy clearly doesn't know how the film industry works. Every word of this post is pure nonsense.

Now comes the β€˜womanosphere’: the anti-feminist media telling women to be thin, fertile and Republican A crop of conservative personalities such as Brett Cooper and Candace Owens, and outlets like Evie, are convincing young women of a gender-essentialist worldview

This phenomenon is called "internalized misogyny." It is the same thing that drove most German women to fascism in the 1930s. It provides justification and legitimacy for the patriarchal system in which we all live.Β #patriarchy #backlash www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This book is simply groundbreaking. The veteran anthropologist Sarah Bluffer Hrdy summarizes 40 years of research on why human males are naturally (and equally) equipped to take care of their offspring, unlike our ape cousins, and what happens to their brains and hormones in the process. #fatherhood

Is this the only thing you managed to come up with? OK.

There is no such thing as A feminism, it's feminisms - different streams of the same movement pursuing gender equality. Re: power, it is not about single women in the system, it is about group processes. Scientific fact: if women are less than 15%, they have no influence on group processes.

What do you know about me to assume this? My whole life is dedicated to feminist action, literally every hour of the day, except for sleep. What about you?

As a woman, I will not buy into masculine narratives. Have you noticed that the decision-makers involved in this war (and every war) are virtually all men? Where is the other half of the humankind in all of this?

Over my dead body, my young son will be trained in violence. I reject this patriarchal masculine militaristic system in which women have no agency and boys are brought up as future soldiers. Over my dead body.

What the US needs right now is a nationwide women's strike, like the one that happened in Iceland in 1975 when 90% of women refused to work at home and took to the streets. And like the one that happened in my home country in 2018 with massive results. Thanks for your work! Greetings from Spain;-)

β€˜This moment is medieval’: Jackson Katz on misogyny, the manosphere – and why men must oppose Trumpism The result of the US election unleashed a ferocious feminist backlash, he says, and makes his 40-year struggle to end violence against women more urgent than ever

Published in the Guardian today: a must-read!
"Trumpism and rightwing populism isn’t a revolt against the β€˜elites’; it’s a reaction to men being de-centred and a backlash against feminism." #patriarchy #misogyny #manosphere #rightwing #trumpism

Elon Musk the Dadfluencer? The Billionaire Is Leveraging His Son to Rebrand Himself as a Father Figure Read award-winning journalist Taylor Lorenz's new column, Network Effect, exclusively for Zeteo.

A man who works 80 hours a week is an absent father. Period. A father is someone who spends tons of quality time with his children. This guy has neither knowledge nor authority to preach anything about #fatherhood. Being a sperm donor is not the same as being a father.

The rise of the global far-right is partially a backlash of #patriarchy against the seismic shifts of the #metoo years. Project 25: "Without women, there are no children, and society cannot continue." They couldn't be clearer in their intentions to control women, who hold the key to reproduction.

Two spreadsheets from my #photobook "Undo motherhood" (Schilt Publishing 2022), about women all over the world who regret #motherhood because of unshared #carework and self-loss as a result. These are the stories from Mexico and Israel (chapters "Resignation" and "Guilt" respectively). More here: πŸ‘‡

Mark Zuckerberg wants more 'masculine energy' in corporate America The Meta CEO's comments on masculinity ignore the reality of systemic inequality and the harms of reinforcing aggressive corporate culture.

β€žI think having a culture that celebrates the aggression a bit more has its own merits that are really positive." Meta's boss wants more violence culture, as if the mess and suffering created by this very culture wasn't already bad enough.Β mashable.com/article/mark...

Hi, I left X for political reasons. The values that the platform's owner represents are everything I deeply hate and actively challenge in my private and professional life. I am new to Bsky, so let me introduce myself. #feminism #documentary #care-work #masculinities #fatherhood
