Male Positivity - Tumblr Posts
Ladies, I don't think you understand how little validation men get. Like, women will get compliments just for being a woman. You'll get validation for being a certain gender. That's an amazing thing, that's a crazy thing.
Like, men will get hated on just for being men. Understand that men will get their first flowers typically at their funeral. They get very few compliments over the course of the year, genuine compliments. And they get almost no validation in their relationships. It's usually about their women, their female.
Women are flooded with attention, compliments, positivity, you know, from a young age. And that's an amazing, beautiful thing. But you guys gotta understand, like, men don't really get that. And that's why when you compliment a guy, it lights him up. Men really, like, go through a lot of stuff. Men are expected to provide support, take care of themselves with no reassurance from the world whatsoever. It's very difficult sometimes for men.
A man will remember the time ten years ago when someone told him that his sunglasses were cool.
one of the most Brillant things i have watched on masculinity
i love this yt channel.
Shaming women for catering to the "male gaze" is a form of conservative slut-shaming masquerading as feminism.
There's a trend I've seen of people looking at female characters in media who look sexually attractive and saying that the creators of this media are bad or the enemies of feminists because they created something to "cater to the male gaze."
For example, video games with female characters who have big boobs are criticized for "sexualizing women" for the sake of male consumers.
I've also seen a post which made a comparison between the old and new Harley Quinn, claiming that the one who had "choppy and fun" bangs rather than "seductively framing her face" was much better because it showed female rather than male gaze.
The issue with these criticisms is that well-meaning feminists start to generalize them to real women. We tell women not to look seductive or sexually attractive because those traits cater to men. We feel pity for them for having become victims to men's lust.
Do you see why this is bad? If you look closely enough at these claims about the male gaze, you see that modern feminist language is being used to repeat the same conservative slut-shaming bullshit our society should have overcome by now.
How different are these claims, really, from the teacher at my high school who followed her presentation about the dress code by saying that girls who have been victims of sexual harassment have invited it upon themselves with the way that they were dressed?
Some things that are bad:
Telling women how they can and can't dress
Saying that if men are attracted to a woman, she is not safe or not respectable
Telling women to dress modestly
Shaming women for wanting to be attractive to men
To be clear, the opposite is true too. It's bad to force women into sex of course, or to make them wear something "attractive" that they aren't comfortable with. But telling women that they are "catering to the male gaze" if they want to look attractive disempowers women by taking away our choice to be sexually liberated, choose how we dress, or look attractive for our own sakes.
In addition, when feminists consider the male gaze their enemy, they also start to consider women who dress attractively or are purposely seductive or engage in sexual acts as their enemies. We end up with women yelling at women, enforcing the patriarchy on ourselves. It's fucked up, and we can do better.
Reminder that consent goes both ways!
If you're a woman dating a man, make sure you respect his boundaries! We're told men should always want sex and desire every sexual act, but this is not true. Men are people, and have varying desires.
Also, don't make men always initiate sex and affection. And don't expect men to "spoil you" and be a "gentleman" 24/7. These things are nice because they make you feel loved and desired, but it's important to make your partner feel the same way.
Relationships should be equal. This applies to every relationship of course, not just a man and a woman, but I've noticed that gender norms often influence these relationships a little bit more.
It’s so rare seeing memes that praise men and boys so here are two nice ones.
