This- and also, it’s not surprising to see that as that traditional “provider” role has become more impossible, some men double down on the “protector” trope, literally making themselves bigger and bigger & exuding (or enacting) violence

A fair amount of guys are going to feel like they're a useless lump on a log if they can't put an actual objective metric to what they're giving to their partner, and while I don't think that's healthy we aren't talking about health here, we're talking about how people think.

It’s somehow always the same exact kind of guys who say these things are just a joke,” or “big talk” or “blowing off steam” or just a guy who “had a really bad day,” even after he killed 9 people (can’t make this sh*t up if I tried). I just can’t with this crap.

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

My hot take is that believing men feel insecure about making less money than their partner must necessarily be because they're abusive manipulators is just ignoring how a lot of men are raised to value themselves (by their ability to contribute/what they can offer).

Over the moon to share that my book-in-progress on how gender is dividing a new generation of young people, drawing on research supported by a Carnegie Fellowship, has landed w/ Meagan Levinson at Public Affairs, an imprint of the Basic Books Group, thanks to Margo Beth Fleming. To work drafting!

(1/3) Social media algorithms are targeting the feeds and insecurities of boys at alarming rates — but this type of manosphere content is also striking a chord with many men.

That is amazing. I’ve been so buoyed by the response from men- and their loved ones- who recognize so much of what’s happening & are championing the book and the issue.

Misogyny is a foundational aspect of many forms of hate — but it’s often overlooked, serving as a type of gendered blind spot. The first episode of "Man Up: Conversations on Gendered Hate in the Digital Age" with @milleridriss.bsky.social explores that blind spot through the issue of antisemitism.

I was originally planning to jump around some audiobooks during the drive today but I’ve listened exclusively to @milleridriss.bsky.social ‘s “Man Up” cause it’s been so good. Have spent equal amounts of time horrified at stats and stories and slapping my wheel yelling “That’s right!” at things. /1

First thing I saw this morning.

Judge Diane Goldstein's house ablaze. She recently told the regime no.

Her husband, and children are ok. Thankfully they were able to escape. By jumping out of a window.

Wtaf America?
