Yeah, I’m not a fan either. Turning the mechanism of toxic masculinity towards a good cause doesn’t make the mechanism good, and risks reinforcing the mechanism. Standing up against misogyny is something that all people should do regardless of gender.
Well assuming no non binary people because OOP is too basic to comprehend them; it’s not like women can accurately call that shit out when we’re not looking.
I agree with the message that men should call out misogyny when women are not present, just not with the delivery which preys upon and perpetuates insecurities that men have about their masculinity. They are valid in their masculinity whether or not they are a good person, and being a good person should be the motivation, not insecurity.

Edit: except gender flipped zatoichi. Obviously.

Okay but if you’re not preying on insecurities you’re just bad at gender. Had you considered this?
