If “your man card can be revoked” then you understand that gender is performative and conditional.
For some the optionality of it is less important than the notion that if it’s performative, you can be bad at it and therefore make yourself an acceptable target for abuse, and besides that the idea that some roles can be restricted to only those with a certain set of physical characteristics is deeply ingrained in many, be that in terms gender, career, or what have you.
I understand that gender is made up and doesn’t matter. There is nothing girly or manly.
You would think that, wouldn’t you?
They be throwing man cards at people violently
In fact words all those words are a bunch of gibberish and neither the world nor reality works like that. I can just question the vague and often circular premises of that argument and we’re back to square zero.
Not against the sentiment, but you’re never going to get anywhere with that pseudoacademic bullshit.
Which words are you struggling with?
Cringe, you’re not even a good anarchist.
I’m entirely for gender abolitionism, but you really need to find some better rhetoric. “Cope and seethe, your arguments are shit” won’t work on most people
Sooo what if a dude just decides to act like, dress like, and call themselves like a girl? Why would they not be allowed to do that? What about the laws of the universe takes away their agency to do that?
Is this the most terminally online possible way of saying “gender is a social construct and I’m a gender abolitionist”?
Men can behave girly.
This has gotta be the meme that best sums up the situation lmao
What type of mental ginastic are they using? Lol
Just can’t win with some people. And that’s ok, life isn’t about impressing everyone - anyone who tries gets exhausted real fast.
Has my therapist been talking to you?
The only way to live life without pissing somebody off is by not doing anything worth doing.
And then you piss somebody off for not doing anything.
And it’s the same person arguing with OP.
Don’t yield to sexists who think you have to be a certain way just because of your sex characteristics. Being a man solely means you’ve a male anatomy. Masculinity and femininity are social constructs which ever change and ever differ based on subjective perception and what not, with no actual value or benefit to anyone’s life. You are perfect the way you are and the way you act is acting like yourself, which is perfect for you, even if it’s not the standard for the average man. ^ ^

Even tho im a cishet male i can absolutely imagine how freaking annoying these people could be.
Define ‘these people’?
What do you mean … you people?..
Sorry, I thought you meant the letter U, as in the U People. I’ve been looking for them for a long time. They live underground, you see, that’s where the U comes from. They’re hard to find! But if you find one, it is tasty!
your username is giving me ptsd
Thanks, I get that a lot. The previous owner must have been quite the character haha
in case you’re not joking and actually don’t know: AwkwardTurtle was one of the most universally disliked reddit mods, she modded a vast number of popular servers, and often banned people on a whim. There were multiple dramas surrounding her
Not joking, actually unaware of this mod until I took up the username here randomly haha.
I’ve never been a mod for anything :p
Thank you! Finally getting the respect U-people deserve instead of the derogatory term many use that labels us all as not-quite-human cannibals.
It’s fucking stupid, they’re doing the same as their detractors. It’s just bullshit slinging on both sides. Of course only one side are bigoted cunts, which makes it easy to see who’s on the right side, but going just by the rhetoric on “our” side is fucking sophomoric at best.
People who believe in strict gender roles and the inability to traverse them?
Sounds like you’re simplifying the issue just as much as they do.
It’s…not that complex. It’s a meme, not a college dissertation. Just laugh at the dumb people.

Then as a man, I choose to act like a girly-Man©. See? Has Man© and that symbol makes it official. That means I can do anything <‘ronswanson meme.jpg’> Checkmate. Easy victory
A real Girly-Man wears blue armor with white toilet seats painted on the shoulders. Rowboat.
First half is a conservative argument (gender roles)
Second half is a liberal argument (abolish gender roles)
I once asked myself what good gender roles ever do. I have yet to find a good answer. Almost everything about it comes down to making sure certain people are classed ahead of other people.
It’s actually a Russian sponsored non issue to pit us against one another. Sadly the conservatives bought into it hardstyle because they smell money and power to be made from the controversy.
Yeah conservatives need Russia to be transphobic /s
it’s designed so that you can’t win except by being and doing precisely what you’re told. this is because it’s designed by evil people and promoted by weak people.
It’s often time better to not just argue with these asshats. Waste of your time and energy while achieving less than a dog barking at a tree.
It’s funny how it only seems to be a problem in on direction. Boyish women or ‘tomboys’ are applauded in a lot of circles.
Historically less so. Even back in the 80s lots of girls i knew and thought of as tom boys. Where forced to dress and act girlie by there parents. Further back you go more limits there were.

Chastised by some, loved by others, it depends a lot on the audience. I think overall though women have been given more a pass, pegged as ‘willfull’ or ‘impetuous’ where as with men it’s treated as a flaw that they should be shunned for.
Think of the differing ways that daddy’s girl and mamma’s boy are perceived to get to what I mean.
Ha. Gay.
Ahahahahbahaa
Reactionaries have no underlying principles, they just react, violently in some cases. If you guide them through their own cobbled-together set of values and show the contradictions, they get angry and start yelling, because to them, they are their own moral arbiter and a challenge to their status quo is an enemy.
Gender is a Social construct and getting upset at people for being outside the bimodal spectrum conservative society expects them to be is utterly pointless, stupid, and harmful.
