en Espa\u00f1ol<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \n The Honey Badger Brigade\u00a0is a\u00a0collective of artists, techies and frothing\u00a0lunatics that\u00a0spawns\u00a0radio shows, podcasts, animations, illustrations, comedy, comics, fiction and other brainchildren.<\/p>\n We defend freedom of expression and believe all artistic works and social commentary should have unfettered\u00a0access to compete in the market place of ideas. As such we oppose those\u00a0who seek to restrict freedom of expression to expressions that don’t step on their very wide and very long toes. In fact we suspect the joy for these individuals is not in expression or sharing expression or even critiquing it but in rejecting it as immoral. Once they infect a creative community, they eat through it by ejecting more and more artistic expression as impure and sinful till all that remains is a burnt out husk populated solely by individuals trying to throw each other out of it.<\/p>\n We all came together because of a mutual interest in men’s issues, which can be observed in most of our work. We\u00a0touch on women’s issues as well, but we do not shy away from\u00a0critiquing feminine\u00a0vices. The\u00a0main women’s issue we grapple with is how the politicizing of female victimhood through misleading or outright false statistics traps\u00a0women in an emotionally abusive web of punditry and public manipulation.<\/p>\n Some of the men’s\u00a0issues we handle directly\u00a0are:<\/p>\n All of the above extend\u00a0from\u00a0the effects of male disposability<\/em><\/a>, which is\u00a0the tendency of society to judge men by their usefulness and dispose of them when they are no longer useful.<\/p>\n When you put\u00a0our\u00a0two conceptions of gender issues\u00a0together you get gender apostasy, <\/em>a system of analyzing gender that falls outside the traditional approach of man as actor and women as acted upon. Culturally we see men as an active, oppressive agent and a woman as a passive, weak victim (This Gender Dynamics Index<\/a> gives a comprehensive rundown of the tropes used to portray male and female characters in fiction and how they interact). We adopt the idea that men and women are people with thoughts and feelings.<\/p>\n\n
