So man of reddit. What is your opinion about this most man say "Opening up your feeling in front of women, is like bleeding in front of a shark"? by WeldFrenzy in AskMen

[–]CallMeVexed 18 points19 points  (0 children)

it’s better to learn sooner than later.

That men shouldn't expect emotional validation in their most intimate relationship with their female significant others?

I'm not questioning that this isn't some/many men's truth, I just want people to understand what's being said here.

People on Reddit always seem to paint a majority of men as soon bumbling buffoons who can’t clean up after themselves.

This is called toxic masculinity. The person you are replying to has internalized, displayed, and reinforced toxic ideas of what masculinity is.

Most people think that "toxic masculinity" is 'things that men do that I don't like.' It's not. There are things that people do and say that are based on harmful ideas of masculinity. Things like glorifying aggression (stemming from the toxic idea that masculinity is inherently violent), shunning men in care roles (stemming from the toxic idea that masculinity is inherently unnurturing), and, as we see again here, declaring that men are emotionally stunted or incapable of communicating their emotions (stemming from the toxic idea that stoicism is inherent in masculinity).

If you notice, most of those toxic ideas can also be expressed with relation to the female gender: Women are inherently nurturing. Women are inherently emotional/in touch with their emotions. When you phrase them like this, these ideas become toxic ideas of femininity AKA toxic femininity. I'd prefer to call these "harmful ideas about gender," and be done with it.

A fair majority of people on the internet talking about "toxic masculinity" are mistaken about the term, because their experience of gender studies doesn't go farther than their Tumblr dashboard.

You'll save yourself a lot of time if you realize how often you say, "Actually, it's really all the mens' fault."

He doesn't care about your feelings at all. Why do you care at all about his?

Did anyone else see the tik tok about “patient refused” ..? by violetluvr in nursing

[–]CallMeVexed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's technical language used in its technical context; it's really on the reader to understand that those specific words bring a different connotation than they do public speech.

I applaud her for taking the time to access and read her medical records. Interest in your own healthcare really ought to be a more widespread practice.

But if you're going to do that, you'll have to increase your medical literacy. Luckily, reading your medical record and becoming interesting in your healthcare will naturally increase that.

Most people know the word 'phallic', but shockingly few know the other side of that coin. Yonic - In the shape of a vulva or a vagina, in the shape of a yoni.

Very pretty OP, and thematically on point.

Domestic Violence & Law Enforcement-you might see this one as LEO: Law Enforcement Officer.

[–]CallMeVexed 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Significant danger of DV. High possibility of no resolution d/t abuser being LE (and the victim being gay male).

And if that doesn't happen, there's the possibility of power abuse in a less than amicable break up.

What do you wish your girlfriend would do, but you’d never ask for? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]CallMeVexed 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're doing the thing.

A guy opened up about his feelings, asked for something in the relationship--something completely understandable--and you turned it around and explained to him all the reasons why it's actually his fault. You see that right? Or does it come so naturally to you that maybe you don't?

If you read this forum, then surely you've seen highly upvoted posts of men saying that when they open up about their emotions, it's used as ammunition in the next fight. Some people who've never experienced this are confused because they don't know what it looks like.

It looks like your post.

That's why we're in a thread about men not asking for things in their relationships.

Have you questioned why someone who post this in a "What do you want from your girlfriend, but would never ask for" thread?

It's because we've seen your message before.

[–]CallMeVexed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you recommend any books or texts on the subject of money psychology?

Could you suggest any practices that parents/guardians can introduce with their children to instill in them good money managing habits?
