.@blakehounshell’s death by suicide after battling depression spotlights broader issues: as a culture, we stigmatize #mentalillness + laud stoicism (or #toxicmasculinity?). #RIPBlakeHounshell
+ basic #ableism centering identity on work and productivity. Normalize telling your friends and family when you’re not ok. Normalize telling your caregivers. Normalize taking a break. Normalize asking for help, normalize receiving it. #RIPBlakeHounsell
61 million adults in #USA live with a #disability = 1 in 4. You are +/or know someone living with a disability. Do we talk about it? Or is it a shameful, secret thing? Internalized #ableism, #stigma kill.

I really think more women need to wake up to this nonsense. I think too many of us have stayed quiet because we don’t want to hurt feelings and are too concerned with being polite. I’ve had enough. I’m not going to be quiet. #womanface is disrespectful. #boycottulta
One of the things that bothers me the most is that these men want to claim womanhood and oppression but they have no problem marginalizing women who have a problem with it. No one gets nastier to women than a man claiming to be woman who gets called out. #boycottulta #womanface
How is it okay for a woman to be told what womanhood means by a man who can never know. These men have the most shallow and stereotypical view of women that I have ever seen. Wake up ladies! We as a group talk about #toxicmasculinity but are afraid to call this out. #boycottulta
On Friday I posted a thread on how a Citroen C15 can do almost everything a Truck/SUV can, and that men who do buy Trucks/SUVs only do so as an antidote to their insecurity.
This, unsurprisingly, has upset many of those men.

1/n There are 2 ways to read the @washingtonpost breathless reporting on the White House "Tiger Team" that's been "gaming out" confrontational scenarios re #Ukraine since November: washingtonpost.com/national-secur… >
2/n One way wd be to marvel at the "foresight" & smarts of Biden's forpol team. Another wd be to strongly suspect that this "Tiger Team" has been a major mechanism thru which Bidn's ppl have created & hyped the whole #UkraineCrisis. A couple of notes here: >

Call it racism, misogyny, sexism, religious righteousness, some combination or just plain plutocracy — fundamentally, GOP are against equality.

First let's look at the Meriam-Webster definition of the word...
"[A] belief in and advocacy of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes expressed especially through organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests."

However, the people that call themselves "feminists" don't always reflect this reality.
Even if you are committed to improving the rights of women, you might very well not be a feminist.

I am appalled and will not sit silent as this faculty at @UChicago spews hate aimed to repress EDI initiatives and underrepresented individuals in our department #diversityinSTEM
He has now added two more videos and continues to troll. While everyone should have a voice, this goes against everything @UChicago stands for and the standards we should have as a department
We must be better allies and that starts with calling people like Dr. Abbot . Help me twitter and let @GeoSci_UChicago folks know they have allies and this won’t stand #DiversityandInclusion #diversityinSTEM #ToxicMasculinity
@RepTedYoho Just a quick question. Do you always refer to your female congressional colleagues as "fucking bitches" or even maybe just @SpeakerPelosi as a singular "fucking bitch" (since she's a favorite demon for y'all). Or do you save that language specially brown women @AOC
Not a congressional representative but I happen to be a person with above average commonsense and I'm just sayin'-- pretty sure this is not the best way to represent your constituents nor your best Jesus loving self. thehill.com/homenews/house…
#ToxicMasculinity and #WhiteSupremacy are real. You should seek therapy and remain quiet until women of color have given you the go ahead to speak on your opinions.
Today I had my second run-in with a man claiming “a real man doesn’t wear a mask”. Last time it was “real men don’t live in fear, *homophobic slur*”. I have many thoughts about this type of reluctance to #WearAMask & how it’s contributing to the spiraling #COVID crisis (THREAD)
2/6 Now, first of all, I think the disgusting slur was related to the awesome blue floral design mask a friend made that looks great with a blue gingham shirt, AMIRIGHT @RepWeinstein? But I digress...
3/6 This type of macho male ego (pronounced #ToxicMasculinity) aversion to wearing masks is as pervasive as it is perplexing to me. If they aren’t explicitly barking this approach into people’s faces in anti-mask defiance then they have it written all over their face/posture.
Raise your sons right.
"Stop crying like a girl" is the first step towards teaching your boys patriarchy, teaching them to belittle women. From then on, they slowly snowball into misogynistic monsters we see today.

Yes, the boy is cute. Let’s celebrate his victories (in all the warped ways)
Yes, he’s just being a boy. And boys can hit/ abuse/ trouble others (read girls). NO. Keep your hands to yourself. Boys do not have to hit anyone to prove that they’re boys.
88% of men find the term #toxicmasculinity insulting, feminists are more likely to describe masculinity as toxic, and men who believe in "patriarchy" have lower self esteem than men who don't.
Feminists insist that the phrase #ToxicMasculinity could not in any way whatsoever be taken to insinuate that masculinity is toxic, and anyone who says it does is crazy.
For some reason they don't feel the same way about the phrase "toxic feminist".

A recent article on NBC highlights “The Decade in Asian America”. But it didn’t highlight ONE Filipina/o/x American. Not a great start to 2020, but in true pin@y resiliency, we create our own lists... AGAIN #FilAmDecade nbcnews.com/news/asian-ame…

1/Had an awful #toxicmasculinity @lyft experience that exemplified why culture matters so much when building a business and customer loyalty. Driver picked me up and then two other passengers for shared ride. I inquired the order of stops and mine was next destination.
2/Found out destination of other passengers and informed @lyft driver that his route was going in opposite direction of both passenger stops. Asked if he could reroute back to main road which would have been a 7 minute drive direct line on one road to my stop.
3/@lyft driver started complaining of my request and informed me he would not be paid if he veered from exact GPS route. I shared my experience that that policy was only for pickups to ensure no detour and efficiency of all passenger pickups.

300 bin yıllık insanlık tarihinde, kadının erkeğin malı olması 10 bin senelik bir ara dönem (Neolitik Devrim). Çoğu toplumda daha da kısa.

Clearly, the long-running neglect by successive #Egyptian regimes of the rail network has claimed too many lives. And re yesterday’s tragedy, the long-running refusal to confront patriarchy & toxic masculinity - on state and street level - will also continue to claim lives.
A fight between 2 men killed 25 people. When I write or talk about feminism and the need to dismantle patriarchy, I hear “This isn’t the time!” When is the time? Men who benefit from patriarchy don’t care about its toll on others. It took a toll on 25 people yesterday. #Egypt
Remember man who shot dead 2 women at a yoga studio,injured 5, and killed himself? An investigation has found he “planned the attack for months and had...a documented disdain for the opposite sex.”Does such misogyny qualify as terrorism? nytimes.com/2019/02/12/us/… #ToxicMasculinity
3 month’s before the mass shooting, Scott Beierle “shared a link to his website “Path of Defiance” with a childhood friend & his wife,who was so disturbed by the content — it included songs about the rape and torture of women — that she shared it with the FBI.” #ToxicMasculinity
“If I can’t find one decent female to live with, I will find many indecent females to die with. If they are intent on denying me life, I will have no choice, but to deny them life,” a document recovered from a hotel room where Beierle had been staying, said. #ToxicMasculinity
