#khan strikes again. He made a #transphobic comment to MLA #asgwara, yelled across the floor, and now denied it.

Khan is now pointing fingers and claiming it's the #ndp side that are being rude and unprofessional.

Typical #gaslighting from someone with #fragilemasculinity

Accusations of racism, transphobia roil Manitoba Legislature | CBC News

Manitoba politicians acknowledge heckling is part of legislative culture. The Tories and New Democrats say the latest shouting match, which included accusations of racism and transphobia, crosses a line — they just disagree over who's at fault.

I'm of the opinion that men who speed up and try to run pedestrians over are fragile, weak coward shitbags that hide in their oversized pickup trucks because they know they'd get their shit --absolutely rocked-- if they tried some fuckshit face to face.

b/c these are hobbyhorses of mine: Fragile masculinity is an entire whole-ass critical theory hypothesis that has done very well in empirical studies. It has to do with the cultural institution of masculinity and how it operates to shape or dominate men's behavior. A longer explanation is needed but a core element of masculinity in this theory (hence the name) is that it is a status conferred on men conditionally (i.e., not just because you grew pubes or turned 18), and it can be (and often is) taken away, leading to devastating consequences for any man in that culture who loses it. Men are, therefore, strongly motivated to maintain their masculinity, performing regular--sometimes multiple daily--actions to demonstrate their fitness as a "man" to culturally important people around them.

#scribesandmakers 20: Misconception in popular media that bothers you?

Using fragile masculinity to mean "(some) men have fragile egos" or similar
Using cognitive dissonance to mean "ignoring something you don't agree with" or "confusion" etc.
