Debating the existence of toxic masculinity/femininity

Are we still discussing....various expectations of particular people in particular groups in various cultures society that might not necessarily be the most healthy or useful for said society's success (yes that exists, you can use as many words as you like to try to prove me wrong, but it exists - it's even different in different cultures and societies, because, y'know, that is exactly how that works)


or have we worked ourselves into a corner debating whether or not Gender is a spectrum or a trait or....whatever, which is not quite the same thing as the first thing, because it doesn't matter what the answer is, because the...social/culture overlay thing is a thing, regardless of how many youtube videos or interviews you can find to debate the latter....

I found this video courtesy of one of my friends on FB

Sure it’s a thing and that means we also have the power to change that thing. So why should I let anyone stand by and categorize anyone unfairly. I’m going to change it and I would hope you would, as a Jedi, as any jedi should do, stand up and make that change as well!!

And speaking of that change, I was going to let this go but no longer. This is abuse plain and simple. I have complained about Zenchis bullying for years now. And not much has been done to stop him. I have tried fighting him alone and I have suffered consequences for it. It’s been published that he lost his knighthood and yet here he is, still a Knight, abusing his privilege. Zenchi is a menace and an abuser. He has chased me all over this temple in posts and PMs for years teasing me and making demands of me surrounding my sexuality and I will not take that anymore from him. I demand that council finally address this issue permanently and completely or things will once again escalate to a point not desirable for this place. So who will step up and address this?? Ros? You have been active in this thread, Will it be you?

Simillar complaints have been made regarding you, Kyrin.

I'm happy to schedule a mediation for the both of you if that is something which you guys would like. That is the first step I will take.

You know what. Just forget it. Never mind. Its not worth it, nothing will ever change around here....

I speak about the bullying. You find a weak spot and exploit it.

I'm not saying that the abuse of sexuality is right. That is utterly wrong.

Seriously, take Ros up on this offer. She, along with Spinner, helped salvage my apprenticeship with Zen. It just involves that effort on your end to make it work.

but, to get back on topic:



(Stolen from a share Steamboat did on his facebook ;p) This image really just encapsulates how I feel about the issue overall.

If its utterly wrong why is he allowed to continually sexually bully me then? You are the play ground monitor. Why don't you monitor instead of turning your head? This same shit happened to me in school all the time and it happens here. Same shit different day.
