Someone should do a PhD thesis on how K-Pop is weaponized misandry. Angry and confrontational facial expressions and choreography (stomping, sneering, etc.), lyrical themes of domination, dismissal of men, and emotional detachment. Stylized aggression of the 'girlboss' aesthetic. K-Pop at its root is theatricalized hostility, often aimed at a...

As far as I’ve seen Korea has been one of the only places with even stranger social programming and symbology programmed into its pop music than America, for quite some time

If you promote "smashing the patriarchy" you want to destroy what you see in this picture. We can respect women & respect family values at the same time. @iodcompany Source:

This wasn't always the case. Still isn't when it comes to making mini albums for the Japanese market. Day and night difference. YG started the nog worship trend with BLACKPINK (front for modeling / escort service), which is how the "worldwide" (3rd world) audience was gained over night. Compare this to BTS who had to conform to the "worldwide" market and dumb down everything about their music (the one thing that made South Korean media itself worldwide popular in the first place). Nog worship came with instant worldwide fame for girls doing prostitute dance on nog tunes but also "diversity" hires which brought consequences. Most recently nog hire in kpop leaked tons of private unreleased music, videos, personal information because she got fired. It's the same motto. Big payout, quick release, low effort, nog worship.

“K-Pop is becoming a ritualized combat display: like war dances in tribal societies (e.g., haka).” 💯

Isn't it managed by Hybe? My thesis holds true for other groups too. Le Serrafim, ITZY, GIDLE, etc. It's a broad trend.

Homophobic Pastor Reverend Lanre Oluseye Of (House on the Rock church). These were his homophobic words: 👇🏾 “Young boys of today don’t know what it is to be a boy cause the society has feminized them. Let them beat em in the park, his skin was built to handle it. He never played ball in the park open toe, what are you raising? You have all these men now, their skin care routine is more than that of a woman, what is wrong with you? If there’s a man beside you, tell him you are heterosexual, I’ve never seen a male dog climb a male dog”. My Opinion: There’s nothing gayer than a man being obsessed about another man’s sexuality, what he does in his private space or trying to define who every other men should exactly be, how every man should behave and what every other men should be interested in. Men who fall in this category are often always closeted and project their internalized homophobia. Real men don’t care about what you do with your private parts. There’s just so much mental degradation and absolute ignorance in this stereotypical preaching. Encouraging all men to be physically abused, do less skincare and be involved in vigorous sports like football is not what defines a man or makes one less of a man, there are men who do all that and are still sexually attracted to men. Being a man is not determined by a checklist of interests, hobbies, appearances, or behaviors. Masculinity is far more diverse than many people are willing to admit. And even the dog analogy he used is so flawed, there are various homosexual animals out there, what he did was selective bias, look around every aspect of life, Versatility and differences are integral to uniqueness, whether you like it or not. Reducing manhood to a narrow set of stereotypes only exposes the ignorance behind the preaching. Saying this to a congregation that is predominantly full of homosexuals is also a very bold and funny choice tho. 😂 😂 😂

Lies and the war on men. What is The Duluth Model? The Duluth model promotes the view that hitting is a conscious strategy by MEN to assert their dominance over women. It was named over a SINGLE crime where a man killed a woman in Duluth, Minnesota in 1981. The entire theory is based on this one event and is applied to all men in domestic violence incidents as a model of male behaviour. This is the equivalent of taking Amber Heard as a representative model of all women. However, this satanic feminist ideology is completely unsupported. Most boys experience their first bout of violence from their mothers. Look at any film where relevant, and you'll see hundreds of times where a mother in a movie (normalised) slaps, punches or threatens to kill their sons. Sexual abuse is also very prevalent in single mother households. Little boys are often used as if they were the husband. If we had news articles stating that "Women are the problem" all single mothers are the problem and are more likely to be sexual predators would that be fair? Or, should we understand this problem is not a gendered problem with just women but indicative of the person and their past (generational violence) A mother that abandons her child (common) is glorified in the media "She must be reunited" but if a Father disciplines his child to teach his son not to hit anyone ever again, he's demonised. Men are punished at every opportunity and we afford women every excuse imaginable. The Duluth model is directly aimed at ALL men. It holds no explanation for female violence.

The truth is that many men are naturally timid and fearful. And some are quietly relieved that approaching women has become stigmatized, because it furnishes them with a morally righteous excuse for what is, at bottom, their own cowardice. In many major U.S. metropolitan areas—New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami—women under 30 are now rivaling or exceeding men in earnings. Among this cohort, young women are often doing at least as well as their male peers, if not better. That shift matters, because across cultures women tend to prefer partners who are economically on par with them, and ideally somewhat ahead. When the economic gradient flattens—or reverses—it complicates traditional mating dynamics. Two broader cultural forces intensify this pattern. The first is the rise of dating apps. Many young men misunderstand what women are attracted to because the apps distort the signal. What can you optimize for on an app? Primarily photos, plus a few one-liners, jokes, and brief biographical details. By design, the medium privileges visual presentation and compresses personality into a handful of curated signals. Traits that matter in real-world interaction—confidence, humor in conversation, social fluency, status cues conveyed through behavior—are harder to display. The result is a romantic marketplace that is more stratified and appearance-driven than offline life. The second force is the cultural aftershock of the Me Too movement. Many average men worry that a cold approach could be misread as harassment, intimidation, or coercion. That fear is not entirely imaginary, but it is often overstated in everyday social contexts. In truth, male hesitation long predates Me Too. Men have always been more likely to fear rejection and social embarrassment when initiating romantic contact. What has changed is that some now frame this anxiety in moral language. Me Too, in many cases, functions less as the root cause of male reticence than as a post-hoc rationalization—an external justification for an internal inhibition that was already present.

Kings of the Road (1976, Wenders) "'Kings of the Road' (1976) is a story that you're not often told in films about men. The story of the absence of women, which is at the same time the story of the longing for their presence!" --- Wim Wenders Full Excerpt: "'Kings of the Road' (1976) is the story of two men, but it doesn't take a Hollywood approach to the subject. American films about men - especially recent ones - are exercises in suppression: the men's true relationships with women, or with each other, are displaced by story, action and the need to entertain. They leave out the real nub: why the men prefer to be together, why they get on with each other, why they don't get on with women, or, if they do, then only as a pastime. My film is about precisely that: two men getting on together, each preferring the other's company to that of a woman. You get to see the shortcomings of both of them, their emotional insecurity; you see them trying to be mutually supportive and to hide their faults. But with the passage of time they're no longer bothered by these faults, and when they know each other well enough they begin discussing them. As a consequence of that, they split up. They split up because, on their journey across Germany, they've suddenly grown too close. It's a story that you're not often told in films about men. The story of the absence of women, which is at the same time the story of the longing for their presence!" ('The Logic of Images, Essays and Conversations, Wim Wenders, 1988)

The natural progression of women wanting to copy men is that British Vogue article. The crux of it is that women are jealous of other women being in relationships while they are not, and they use the masculine “boss babe” agenda to hide that fact. Make them believe the latter to deny the former. So it is the collective way for unsuccessful women to shame those who are successful in their personal lives. Women who are winning will then be influenced into believing that something is wrong with them. The single-female-friend-group self-sabotage is now operating on a grand scale through the networking effect of social media. Another example of the female self-stirring “shitshow” the more we give them a voice. The opposite is not true for men, as men are judged on their accomplishments first and foremost. If a man makes his whole or main identity being a husband, he is falling for the feminine value matrix through association in mating. This is how women are currently trying to frame men as accessories - as evidence of their own success, the same way men do with trophy wives. The copying here happens when women don’t want to come across as “less than” within a relationship, because we have entered a matriarchal and gynocratic society where the approval of other women outweighs the approval of the man they are with. This is further evidence of why “husband material” is an insult toward a man and an early sign of his future emasculation by her, in the same way women are being made to feel. Another effort of the mainstream is to eliminate any degree of polarity between the genders.

As a woman with a silly huge bust and a small frame I am well aware of the impact my form has on men. Any woman with similar proportions does. Many of us will try to shame men for finding the female form desirable while simultaneously refusing to admit that we do the exact same thing, and we tend to be far more mercenary about it. The reality is that while a woman's body gets attention men are far and away more likely to choose a woman based on how joyful and accepting she is. Lots of manosphere influencers will tell you men want a woman who brings them peace, and I don't think that's entirely accurate. I think men want women who bring them joy. Not just during courtship, or the honeymoon phase, but throughout their lives. Because oftentimes a fellas life is hard, extremely hard, and while peace is one thing, it's those moments of joy within those stretches of peace that really revitalize him. Give him purpose. "I was fun and sweet when we met, and now he has to accept the real me." No. The "real you" has to include sustained joy or the deal was false advertising. Often times this joy takes the form of children, or shared experiences, or just moments of sweetness and memories and they can be extremely esoteric things too. Things you wouldn't even expect. I believe a lot of women lose sight of that reality, and to some extent men do too. Men need more than just peace, they need a reason to keep going and the women in their lives are often instrumental in showing them there is.

XYXX's new ad (agency: PinkSauce Studios) is a brilliant exercise in gender-role reversal used as a comic device. But beneath the humor, it is a smart strategy to solve a unique marketing problem: how to differentiate the selling of an unsexy, utilitarian, and deeply unglamorous garment that has traditionally been sold only in one way in India - the 'macho' way? The 'macho' way of selling baniyans has always been about roping in a famous male movie star (one of the Khans, Varun Dhawan, etc.) and selling an imaginary world where men miraculously inherit a movie star's magnetism just by putting on a specific brand of baniyan. This ad takes a completely different route and forces men to think about fit and aesthetics of a garment they rarely talk about. How? By lavishing as much attention on a baniyan as women (and the world) do on a bra! By comparing it to the intense public scrutiny, "staring", judgment, and hyper-awareness surrounding women's bras, the ad forces men to look at their innerwear through a social lens. And by having a man say, 'My eyes are here' to a group of women in a public bus, the ad mines humor through subversion! Of course, I thought there was a false equivalence of scrutiny too - for women, the public policing and hyper-sexualization of bra lines or straps isn't just about "looking messy". It is tied to deeply rooted issues of modesty/moral-policing, objectification, and personal safety. For men? A visible baniyan line or a peek of fabric at the collar is just a style slip-up or a sign of being slightly old-fashioned. By equating a woman’s genuine discomfort with a man’s minor fashion embarrassment, is the ad trivializing a heavy social issue to sell an innerwear? In other words, is it suggesting that the gaze is symmetrical, when in reality, the power dynamic behind that gaze is completely different? But then, I don't think the ad is equating the danger or the systemic oppression. It is onlt using a universally understood cultural pain-point to create a surreal and absurd taboo-flip. If it makes men uncomfortable, that’s perhaps the point, because that discomfort may drive both social awareness and product consideration.

So it's only now that I got a full cohesive view of what started the Koreans vs Southeast Asians feud, online. I did know the part about the Koreans bringing professional cameras into the Malaysian concert venue, and though I did see the post featuring the photos/videos of said Koreans, I didn't connect that until I saw the attached TikTok video. And my thoughts given that I know, too, that there were some Koreans who explicitly said K-pop doesn't need Southeast Asians AND South Americans? Imagine if the violation of the concert rules happened, here, in the US. Here, it's common for law/rule violators or Karens/male Karens to be recorded or photographed and shamed, online. Faces of minors are typically blurred but erring adults aren't spared. If that happened, would this same specific bunch of defensive Koreans say that K-pop doesn't need the US considering expansion to the country was one of the major targets of the Hallyu/Korean Wave? And even now, many K-pop acts consider success in the US as their goal. Now I know the counterattack would focus on MAGA + US politics, but I agree with Deanna Aaliyah for saying this (see 2nd image): lt's not about "respecting culture" it's about being respectful in someone else's home. This is the most fair comment about the entire Southeast Asia vs Korea issue that I've ever seen. Had things been reversed, tourists would have had no choice but to follow rules or laws in Korea or any country they visit or risk getting fined, deported, or jailed. Bottomline, no one should defend the violators and things shouldn't have devolved to displays of arrogance about K-pop and both sides throwing racial slurs at each other. Full video here:

It’s abundantly clear to me that Tim Walz does not understand what masculinity is, based on his demeanor and his constant comparisons of manhood to activities rather than attributes. When Walz was chosen as Kamala Harris’s running mate, Democrats immediately saw it as an opportunity to "win back" the men they had alienated with their anti-male, antagonistic rhetoric and irreverent messaging toward us. Kamala Harris had a quintessential "man problem," and they thought Tim Walz could shore up her failing male support in the polls. MSNBC fawned over him, portraying him as a sort of modern or new-age man who is highly emotional yet somehow internally macho. Through the lens of there being only two types of men—toxic and non-toxic—they spent so much time painting Trump as the toxic man that they were left with a try-hard, insecure figure like Tim Walz. There are many ways to tell if someone is insecure about who they are, but a clear sign is that they spend far too much time trying to prove what they are instead of simply being it. Trump doesn’t incessantly talk about how he’s a "real man" or use every media appearance to convince you he’s relatable to men through some stereotypically male activity. Whether you love or hate Trump, he just is himself. He’s confident—not because he says he’s confident, but because he simply is. A person who explicitly tells you how smart they are likely isn’t smart and doesn’t believe it themselves. This applies to any other internal attribute. It’s not for someone to tell you their character; it’s for others to assess for themselves. Tim Walz believes that masculinity is measurable by the activities he’s participated in and by bragging about how great he is at a given male-associated pursuit. While there are activities typically associated with men, those activities don’t make you masculine or a man. Tim Walz loves to bring up how he hunts, but there are women who hunt too—that doesn’t make them men or masculine. Walz’s insecurity aligns with my biggest problem with the political left and how they equate the essence of manhood with a list of activities instead of personal qualities. It’s no different from saying womanhood is equivalent to wearing dresses and makeup, which is an absurdly low threshold. So, what is a masculine man? Masculine men are balanced individuals who are not easily toppled emotionally. They are confident in their capabilities while maintaining humility and acknowledging where they fall short. Masculine men are calm under pressure yet recognize the need to step away from conflict when necessary. These men are purpose-driven and willing to sacrifice themselves for the people they love. Plenty of masculine men don’t know how to fix a car, play football, or hunt, because these activities never defined what it is to be a man. They are simply pursuits that men can bond over, learn from, or use to accentuate what they already possess. Walz is what I would define as a performative man. He’s a guy who is always trying to prove himself to the world, which is why he’s constantly talking about the supposedly manly things he does. He sounds incredibly goofy when he tries to talk tough, as if this middle-aged man is prepared to get into a street fight at a moment’s notice. But masculine men don’t feel the need to prove anything to anyone. They don’t speak recklessly, especially about engaging in violent acts. If you are something, you don’t have to convince anyone to believe it. People can tell what’s genuine and what isn’t. Tim Walz isn’t some new-age masculine man; he’s an insecure guy who desperately wants you to believe he’s something more than he actually is.

Do women like beards on men? Human male secondary sex characteristics evolved not to attract females, but rather to compete against other males. Consider the example of beards. Why do males develop facial hair during puberty? Evidence is mixed about whether women find beards attractive. Some women like them, others don’t, and for others, it depends. But there is clear evidence that men view other men with beards as more intimidating than clean-shaven men. Or take deep voices. Women, on average, tend to think deep voices are attractive. But in comparison, men are even more likely to find men with deep voices to be intimidating. The same basic pattern has been found for muscularity. Women find it to be attractive, up to a certain point. But men report feeling threatened by large physicality in other males. Such research suggests that intrasexual competition has given rise to male traits such as broad shoulders, large muscles, deep voices, and facial hair. Men evolved these traits not so much because women find them sexy, but more so because other men find them intimidating. As the psychologist Steve Stewart-Williams has written, secondary sex characteristics appear to be more like deers’ antlers than peacocks’ tails. The peacocks’ tail evolved to attract female peahens. But male deer evolved antlers not to impress female deer, but to compete with other males. That same logic seems to apply to the characteristics of human males.
