Not mine! I was just browsing my favourites and thought it was good to be reposted.

okay, I'm a chick, and I'll call ANYONE being coward a sissy or wuss bc they are synonyms for that word.

My wife left me for a guy who identifies as non-binary and wears women's clothing. I really stopped caring about any of that shit.
LZYRMN
Truth. As boys we're told only girls cry, toughen up, then when you do, you're a fag. It has to stop.
SleeperXib
I feel like I saw this before, but with a lot more panels.
MungeMan
Except the issues stem from toxic masculinity and patriarchy you shitlord.
mrbadwr3nch
You should be thankful people still care enough to try to toughen your hide so you have half a fucking chance of becoming an adult.
MyFirstTwoChoicesWereTaken
It's more about what you let people say hurt you. Someone calling you a fag or gay says more about them than you. Their ignorance not yours.
movietheman
Whats the option for not becoming a victim (as a guy that is)?

I wanted to smack whatever kid or teacher that told my son he shouldn't want to play with girl toys. He didn't even know there was a 1/2
jenigrl85
Difference because we always just got him toys that were in line with his interests. I've been trying to correct this ever since 2/2

It's great taht this is a message that supports everyone. Makes me happy

I just fucking hate everyone
malbec
If only there was some movement for equality, like... REAL EQUALITY. Something with a name... That RESONATED and spoke to EVERYBODY
malbec
And didn't imply one gender was inherently right, built on a foundation of claiming the other was inherently wrong.
WillSomeoneGiveMeAKnifePlease
I'm bi. I have respect for both genders, some days more on one side.

How about toughening the fuck up?

How about shutting the fuck up?

For the unaware, this is a "Why we need Feminism" thing. Feminism is for both men and women, Dawgs. (Thank you, @op)

How about, no.
krapmyself
A yes. The "guy who likes cute things" issue. I distinctly remember being called a faggot on many occasions because I liked kittens
Demikmj
As a straight woman, I'm a faggot for kittens.
BallsLikeWatermelonsPeckerLikeAThimble
Anyone who DOESN'T like kittens is a faggot.
RedroverRedrover
Hey! Plenty of faggots like kittens too! Can't we all just like kittens???
BallsLikeWatermelonsPeckerLikeAThimble
We all must love kittens. Failure to love kittens is a death penalty offense.

It's almost complete bullshit, but, whatever dude. Human beings are hardwired via DNA. All the talking in the world won't change it.

Oh look, more shit that was relevant 30 years ago but is no longer pertinent.
sinacul
You're just a special kind of fucking moron, aren't you? There there :pats your head:
lizardbones
No longer pertinent? Male suicide is higher know than it's ever been, and you think this message doesn't matter anymore?
BattloidKouji
why is it no longer pertinent?
Starsfreaky
Because I've been out of school for a decade. And even back then, before all this special snowflake bullshit, men were not picked on for
Starsfreaky
Being weak or having feelings. Being a male virgin was not a bad thing. Everyone knew you could be sexist against men and women.
Starsfreaky
And I went to a county school in the heart of the bible belt. And all this is coming from a male that was in the marching band and graduated
Starsfreaky
a virgin.;
mcjunker
Once, stereotypical masculine attributes like being tough and stoic and fearless were in high demand. These days, mostly... they aren't.
BattloidKouji
and that's a good thing. all of those have bad sides to them. being tough means not being able to seek help or get therapy, even when
BattloidKouji
you need it. being stoic can be lonely. no one is truly fearless, some just hide it better, but it still affects them.
mcjunker
I feel like my point is missed. Since modern life in America is NOT a hellish war zone, there is therefore not much demand for boys to (1/?)
mcjunker
train to be potential warriors from childhood. But Western society evolved from that- we used to send boys to the front lines at a (2/?)
mcjunker
moment's notice, and if it came to it we demanded that they dying fighting for the nation/tribe/clan what have you. That's WHY people (3/?)

I don't know man, I think that's too much to ask from people.

Oh my God, Ill call the UN and check; maybe noone has ever thought of that as the solution to all of the worlds problems! :O

Yep, golden rule: Treat others with the respect you want them to treat you with, regardless if they ever return the favor.

Wait weren't these the characters from that time travel show or some such? Very vague, I know

More or less, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, movie from the late 80s

But is it though? Hear me out, devil's advocate kinda thing here, don't care about votes I have plenty of rep. Here goes:
NateintheNorth
It seems like it's a complex issue and not simple at all. The concept might be, but the execution is terribly complex. To put others...
NateintheNorth
...before yourself? Goes against our nature as animals. Yeah, we're smart animals but still. And what do other people need? How can we...
NateintheNorth
...know? I'm not saying don't try. I hardly know what I need myself from day to day. I guess all I'm saying is we're all in this together...
NateintheNorth
...even if it's our nature to be assholes, we can still try. But it's not simple. And it's not easy. We gotta fight the good fight...

FINE I'll stop hating the nazis.
MTHavoc
I can still nazi what they did that was so wrong
piccololover
wait no
lizardbones
To clarify: Treat people with respect until they give you a REAL reason for you not to
Zeldie
So do we hate Nazis or not?
lizardbones
Well, contrary to popular belief, not all Nazis were evil. So I'd say it depends on the person
Ltryno6
So, what do we think of Goebbels
AdmiralTails
Indeed, Don't respect Himmler, respect Rommel, for example.
theincrediblebullshittingman
This is all fine. I just don't get why some people insist on calling it "feminism".
movethebongos
Because we acknowledge history and truth.
lizardbones
Feminism is about women's rights, Equalism is about equal rights
theincrediblebullshittingman
Wow, didn't expect to get downvoted so much. I guess feminism isn't very open for questions or criticism.
Kiore
Are you for real? Do you think someone just came up with the term a couple of years ago or something?
theincrediblebullshittingman
Don't know what makes you think that.
Kiore
It's obvious why it's called feminism. Because women have been the ones who had to fight for equality for centuries, now us dudes are <1>
Kiore
just now jumping on the bandwagon and too many of us are whinging because it's not immediately being made all about us and our feelings.
theincrediblebullshittingman
3/3 and after the hostile response I got for the initial question I don't really give a fuck anymore.
theincrediblebullshittingman
1/3 Everyone have been fighting for equality throughout history, feminism is just one branch of that fight.
theincrediblebullshittingman
2/3 I still don't get why the term is so important, why you can't be for equality without calling yourself a feminist,
Kiore
You can be for equality while calling or not calling yourself whatever you please. Being anti the term feminism suggests you're not tho.
itsashe
because it has to do with gender roles and troughout history those gender roles legitimated suppressing women and taking away their 1/2
theincrediblebullshittingman
2/2 equal rights but don't want to be associated with the feminist movement.
theincrediblebullshittingman
1/2 I know what feminism is. Just don't understand why it's so important to cling on to the term and why it is frowned upon if you support
itsashe
rights to vote, to study etc. because the roles women were given took away their power and made men take over the power - that's 2/3
itsashe
and that's what we call the patriarchy. that's what feminists fought for - to destroy those gender roles. that's why it's feminism :)

CowmanII
what's with the recent upsurge in pro-feminist posts that are intended to make feminism look bad by pointing out a part of feminism?
BattloidKouji
How does this make feminism look bad?
CowmanII
not this one specifically. just a lot of posts about "Men have it bad too" which is a part of feminism as well so the posts make no sense
BattloidKouji
But if you're on imgur then you'd know that not everyone knows it. try to imagine what the normal imgurian thinks feminism looks like (1)
CowmanII
I wasn't saying anything about that it was more just what prompted the upsurge
BattloidKouji
(triggered, etc.) then maybe you can see why this could be helpful. (2)
