Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

The last Rowling's idea to harass transgender will make collateral damage among cis-women, including the ones who claim she's a "pro-women" (www.lgbtqnation.com)

I'm not implying being a man is worse expectation-wise, but it is just not at all accurate to say men aren't belittled all the time for not "being man enough".

Why aren't you doing more? Why aren't you more successful? Why aren't you stronger? Why aren't you tougher?

Exactly. Then there's the toxic insults about being feminine or perceived to be even in the very slightest. It's pretty shitty and pervasive.

Have heard all of this all of my life as a woman.

Now try people not respecting you because they do or don’t want to fuck you.

Oh another man on tv called you not manly enough? Try fielding daily bullshit about your nail color, hair color, eyeliner thickness, how fat or thin you are (fat men aren’t fat lois, only fat women are fat), how much worth you have based on whether some old ugly fucking loser wants to fuck you. I can go on forever. Fuck being a woman.

It's not a competition and this is not even remotely a good way to talk about this, but yes, men on TV and in every day life often denigrate other men.
