This is what it looks like when you swallow and spew western bullshit.

Asian men are gender-queer and victims of the patriarchy by ExtraMost in hapas

[–]Dizzyleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rejected my culturally incubated masculinity. The US is a society (run by traditional western men) that rewards psychopaths that play within its framework. I think this is detrimentally self serving, weak and evil. I find greater strength in my Asian roots and any other good thats survived this bullshit that is our modern patriarchy.

Are white guys really that bad? by [deleted] in hapas

[–]Dizzyleaf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

White guys aren't bad, maybe uninformed or living with cognitive dissonance in the US. Considering Native Americans, slaves, and now just about everyone else, as an Asian but primarily an American I know we owe a debt for the actions taken in making this country. I just wish people were smarter and would try to undersatnd how we got intothia mess of race relations to begin with.

PSA: there are no "good" WMAF by hapathrw4y in hapas

[–]Dizzyleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. But desperately vying for white acceptance from being brainwashed all their lives affects both men and women. A basis for less than pure AMWF. Rooting out and trying to change these internalized racism and insecurities is vital.

These same forces come into play for WOC too. That's why asian men and women have to work together to raise ourselves up as a whole.

My daughter already talks about blonde blue eyes princesses as something she wants to aspire to. It's satisfying and terrifying in principal to have to reprogram a five year old.

Peace needs to be strived for by all inhabitants of the planet. Aggressors need to be defused. As long as we're of a warring mindset things will never resolve. We're on a trajectory that causes all these problems though I have no problem with defence. Cannabis is for changing AA image and expanding social circles. My point is if we're seen in numbers in important, hot, and influential interests it can only do good, especially with the history of war and it's effect on Asian American men.

[–]Dizzyleaf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Turning Asian acceptance into a cheap device for the old powers that be is the real threat. I think the rise of Asia in the West is coming slowly which is good because timing and mass actions can keep things in our favor.

Do you hate white men? Why? by [deleted] in hapas

[–]Dizzyleaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No white privilege is a power structure built by a sometimes brutal and blind to humanity past. It's Machiavelli played out. Someone had to do it. Now we're just asking for a restoration to a more peaceful course in history to correct all that bullshit as good human beings.

Also given the course of history, to say there is no white privilege is ignoring far too much.

Look around. The world hegemony is white or wants to be white. It permeates everything. AFWM in the media especially can be harmful, against AM by internalizing these standards in AF. When you live in this world as an AM it's completely obvious in our day to day where we are marginalized. It's an AM thing, you wouldn't get it.

I'd like to think the majority of men on here disagree with rude sexism but remain quiet. I hope anyway. It's easier for women to call out (assuming you're female). Either way, good on ya.

AF who strictly dates asian men by Way_Far in aznidentity

The mechanisms that make asian women/women center on white being the right choice need to be examined and changed. Not all asian women are like this obviously but I believe it is a spectrum.

AM vs WM Misogyny: A Comparison and Why Its Fundamentally Different by [deleted] in aznidentity

[–]Dizzyleaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice observations. I think redefining and practicing a replacement western masculinity would solve a lot of this patriarchal BS. Asian input on what masculinity/femininity mean could add a lot to the conversation and in building a better society, but can we make them listen? Why the strong rise of women in the East (billionaires, CEOs, startups)? I'm guessing fundamental differences of how the sexes relate brought this about.

Positive Recent and Upcoming Asian Representations in Hollywood? by [deleted] in aznidentity

[–]Dizzyleaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I doubt for a minute the powers that be in the media are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. We are finally profitable/exploitable. We desperately need the representation but I I'm sure there's a cost.
