      Wish more of the reactions to Michael Moore's tweet would take this positive step of crediting examples of the erased women.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/792510685460566016 …

      @vgr I deleted a sarcastic tweet about women involved school shootings. Hard to not end up in 'what about the menz' land.

      my understanding is that toxic masculinity is just another side of the same problem of systemic pattiarchy.

      so not knowing about Moore, I assumed he's just straw-manning the argument? So confusing.

      he suffers from liberalism-as-guilt-overcompensation, what the genetics-obsessed alt-right mistakenly labels cuck-ism

      It's a kind of self-flagellation in proportion to assumed level of complicity in straight-white-male patriarchy

      the odd kind of left white-male exceptionalism that claims all evil, rather than good, as springing from itself.

      yep, and "all women are clean & pure". Strange how that idea still bleeds thru even when trying to to subvert it.

      scratch an ideal of womanhood and you invariably find exotic 'other' woman archetype set up to be victimized

          Ah, this matches the narrative I've heard of people of privilege self-flagellating to show their strength/status.
