| naruball said: Fantastic post. I rarely read long posts, but this one was worth it. As for the comic, that was indeed quite funny. I think I have an answer, though I could be wrong. It all goes back to men being told not to express their feelings. There are so many expressions used from parents, friends, classmates that make men stay as far away from certain topics/fields as possible. Studying languages, philosophy and arts in general is condered "gay". Think of this scenario: "Hey, man, what have you been up to?" "You know what? I read some articles about male suicide rates and it turns out..." "Ha gaaaay! I swear our generation is getting pussified. Just grow a pair." How likely is that person to continue searching for these topics (and write an article or two) when the person he values so much (a friend at that age is the ultimate judge) dimisses it that way? |
For some reason, I have never ran into that attitude you told about in your post.
You know, the post you liked described how you could support something that you don't even stand for, it was a very narrow view on the subject. If you support the movement, you support everything the movement stands for. Why would you join feministic movement to support something the feministic movement doesn't support, instead of joining a movement that supports the same things you do. The more diverse the movement is, the less it is driving the things you support (because of people have differing interests). If you join a movement to support things the movement doesn't support, it is still you alone supporting the things, only the difference is, that now you support it in the inside instead being on the outside.
