    He has a follow up in there

    Boy’s club” is just as bad as “girl’s club”, since those are both mindsets and spaces born out of binary gender system values. Neither is to be aspired for, but one of them gets more flak for arbitrary reasons.

    Didn’t realize the existence of patriarchy was arbitrary. Nice to know we can just opt out at any time.

    This is the real horseshoe theory. You get so conservative brained that you start doing rad lib shit but for boys and men.

    Edit: homie is out there talking about “the gender binary” and “boys are under attack” like get me a neck brace I think I have whiplash.

        Why do men with fragility like this even exist in countries with out of date or regressive women rights (bad terms, I’ll think for replacement later), I’ve encountered them from Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Kuwait… Etc. Like if you’re gonna say bs like this atleast look outside your room, maybe you’ll see your sister not allowed basic stuff you have.

        But the same dynamics are at play. In this case it’s male fragility but it manifests in the exact same way and comes from the same sort of mentality.

    "You damn representatives of the queer community better watch your damn language, or else!! 😡😡

    Also, how dare you generalise men by using a common turn of phrase which accurately represents the work culture where men disproportionately outnumber women and non-binary folks in the upper echelons of management and those minority groups are actively and passively prevented from participating in myriad ways.

    You, as a representative of the queer community, need to stop all this generalising when expressing your personal opinions because it reflects poorly on the entire queer community. You need to take some responsibility, like I do when I’m offended by someone’s opinions - I don’t go blaming an entire community for my hurt feelings by lowering my opinion of them and losing respect for them as a group simply because one person expressed their opinions.

    Also we are all supposed to be equal beings worthy of respect and our feelings are valid. (Except when your feelings on a subject hurt my feelings. Then I will deploy my feelings as an attempt to guilt you into shutting up at the risk of my majority status ‘losing respect’ for the minority group which you’re a member of.)

    Anyway, I’m not a direct beneficiary of this privilege therefore the fact that management cliques that are constituted by majority-cis men and are rampant across the workforce do not exist.

    P.S. ‘boys’ only refers to cisgender people."

    Gee, what a nice feller!
