So my brother just send me a post on insta on Mason Greenwood, saying our club should just sign him now. Like, mate have you not heard the audio of the guy literally r*ping his gf? Or do you just not care?

According to my mom he also sometimes goes on a rant against woke and LGBTQ+ people. I’m 100% convinced social media algorithms got him into Tate territory. My mom is an open minded person. My dad, while being a typical working class guy, is an open minded person. They would never say dumb shit like that. And I don’t think I have to clarify how I think about the world.

My brother is a kind and good guy but I always felt he was easily influenced. I hate that losers like Tate can change him from what he is into a potential racist shithead.

This was an issue prior to social media, too. People at certain points of social status get promoted because “they make money good”.

Social media has helped to keep them in the spotlight when they should be buried into obscurity.

And people gravitate to Tate dicks because “they’re offering something”, even if that something is absolute trash.

Hopefully your brother will see reason soon.

“…only a feminist vision that embraces feminist masculinity, that loves boys and men and demands on their behalf every right that we desire for girls and women, can renew men in our society. Feminist thinking teaches us all, males especially, how to love justice and freedom in ways that foster and affirm life. Clearly we need new strategies, new theories, guides that will show us how to create a world where feminist masculinity thrives.” - bell hooks, The Will to Change

Welcome to our community dedicated to fostering discussions on the complexities of contemporary masculinity within the context of the prevailing patriarchy. This space is designed to empower men and men-aligned individuals to explore, challenge, and navigate the various facets of masculinity that they encounter. Here, we encourage open dialogue, where members can share their personal struggles, seek and offer guidance, and exchange insights on cultivating positive and productive approaches to masculinity.

Respect and inclusivity: Treat all community members with respect, kindness, and empathy. Embrace diversity and promote an inclusive environment where everyone’s voice is heard and valued.
No sexism or misogyny: Refrain from engaging in or promoting any form of sexism, misogyny, or discriminatory behavior. This community is committed to challenging and dismantling patriarchal norms. This includes “support” for sex work, the pornography industry, and any systems of oppression that mainly serve to harm our sisters in struggle. Porn addiction is an epidemic, however, and we support comrades being open and honest about their experiences with it.
Constructive discussions: Encourage thoughtful and constructive discussions. Engage in active listening and consider different perspectives. Disagreements are welcome, but maintain a respectful and civil tone.

Trigger warnings and content warnings: Use trigger warnings (TW) or content warnings (CW) when discussing sensitive topics to create a safe space for all members. Respect others’ boundaries and be mindful of potentially triggering content. If asked to place a trigger warning, it is probably time to place one.
No promoting or glorifying violence: Do not promote or glorify violence, including threats or acts of physical, emotional, or psychological harm. Encourage non-violent and compassionate approaches to conflict resolution when possible.
Relevant and meaningful content: Share content that is relevant to the community’s focus on feminist masculinity. Posts should contribute to meaningful discussions, provide insights, resources, or personal experiences that align with the community’s goals.
