This Twitter Page Is Dedicated To Shaming Masculine Takes That Are So Bad And Here Are 40 Of The Most Absurd Ones
A reminder to watch what you post!
A 28-year-old woman refused to stop scrolling when she stumbled on a Twitter page that treats “masculine takes” like they’re public crimes. Not the usual debate stuff, either, this is straight-up callout culture, where every post is a screenshot, a caption, and a slow-motion facepalm.
It gets messy fast because the page is stacking examples that range from “Soup is not for men” to “Conquer and dominate her,” plus the classics like “Men shouldn’t cry unless…” and “One people, one nation.” Even the more random ones, like “Breast milk ice cream” and “Cerebral spinal fluid,” feel like they’re trying to prove something, but nobody can agree what the “something” is.
And once you notice the pattern, you can’t unsee it.

4. President Trump's masculinity

Although the phrase "toxic masculinity" has recently gained popularity among feminists, many people will be surprised to learn that it was first used in the mythopoetic men's movement of the 1980s and 1990s to describe "father's militarized, authoritarian masculinity."
Nobody in those days would have imagined that Ernest Hemingway, one of America's best authors and the quintessential man's man, could be considered "the avatar of toxic masculinity." Depending on who you ask, Hemingway may now be just as detrimental to young men's manhood as rock and roll was to our grandparents.

That first “Who’s living in the dark ages?” hit, and then the page kept swinging, from “No need to make an effort” to “Which way?” like it was daring you to keep reading.
This dinner standoff, where a boyfriend refused to share a vegetarian meal and demanded the meat stay in the pot, hits the same absurd nerve.
The tone turns extra wild when it zooms in on “President Trump’s masculinity” and then jumps to “Group pics,” as if the problem is both the attitude and the photo ops.
It's not surprising that in recent years, people's perceptions of masculinity have changed, with more individuals connecting it with aggression and disregard for others.

Then it goes full chaos with “Conquer and dominate her,” “Submission,” and “Beating them up,” followed by the weirdly specific insults like “A soy boy beta male.”
Like anything else, the desirability of masculinity relies on how it is defined, highlighting that inappropriate behavior should not be solely attributed to a person's gender but rather to their psychological makeup.
Otherwise, males can begin to worry that once-respected qualities like assertiveness, speaking truth to power, or standing up for what's right have been "villainized in our conflict-avoidant society."
