Reddit Repost: “Objectification and the ‘Male Power Fantasy'”
This is a repost of an article originally posted on /r/Masculism, here:

Reddit Repost: “The Literal Patriarchy, Men And Masculinity”
This is a repost of an article I originally wrote for /r/Masculism and posted here: “Patriarchy” is typically used in gender studies to refer to one of two things; either a gender system which is masculosexist and femmephobic (Third Wave definition), or a gender system which is systematically constructed as a tool of class oppression by men to oppress women (Radical Second Wave...

MISANDRY – Masturbation Hysteria
Masturbation hysteria is a bit of history that isn’t really history yet. The moral panic around boys masturbating back in the late 19th, early 20th centuries was profound and it manifested in many ways.

MALE DISPOSABILITY – PTSD and someone who is in a position to attack the stigma around it
Do you know why US Army Rangers wear panty hose? Supposedly they do wear panty hose, (though I haven’t gone and checked.) Simple answer: Panty hose are the most efficient form of long underwear available. Real answer: Because they can. A soldier at Joint base Lewis McChord, SSG Ty Carter, is in a similar position, in this case in a position to champion sufferers from PTSD and to attack the stigma...
