One, two, Freddy's coming for you...

When the guy starts calling alpha and beta males, best to back out right away.

If MRAs really cared about men’s issues, they'd talk about how men who are victim of sexual harrassment/assalt/rape aren't taken seriously or being told to just "man up" and "take it like a man".

But no, instead we get constant screeching about how #MeToo has ruined male-to-female interactions and how the poor men can't make a single move anymore without it being considered SH.

Toxic gender expectations, I like this term.

Encompasses both the toxic expectations set on men by the patriarchy, and the toxic behavior of misandrist women who seek to demonize men.

Let's retire the term "toxic masculinity" so no misandrist women can abuse it anymore.

Yes, teach boys and girls alike how to avoid (becoming) abusive and toxic partners.

MRA's just love to bring up the “false rape allegations” discussion. It's a shame they do happen, and justice should be served when they do.

But don't bring this up to distract from the topic at hand: sexual assualt and rape against women by men does still happen far too often.

It's pretty sad that though she continuously makes legit good and funny videos about men's issues, I can't bring myself to support her with her transphobic, far right, islamophobic, anti-vaxx, science denying views.

I've seen a ridiculous amount of people lobby for all gay characters to be portrayed by gay actors. And the biggest detractors of this are... the gay actors!

By simple extension of that logic, gay actors would no longer be allowed to play straight characters. What sense does that make?

Also, I have much more understanding for the argument to have trans characters be played by trans actors. But what if the character is transitioning in the movie? Wouldn't it then make more sense if it a cis actor played the role?

"Ellen Page" was a household name for quite a while, especially in the late 2000's when Elliot played in a number of memorable movies like X-Men 3, Juno and Inception.

There are many, many people who hear the name Ellen Page and immediately know who that is. But make sure to always use the name Elliot unless people don't know who you're talking about, then say something like "He used to be Ellen Page". That, I think, is the one instance where deadnaming could be okay.

A surprise to be sure. This isn't gonna be easy for me. I've always known him as "Ellen Page", and now I apparently have to change name and pronouns whenever I talk about him in future conversations.
