An ex-sister-in-law of #PeteHegseth’s submitted a sworn statement to senators on Tuesday that accused #Hegseth, #Trump’s nominee for secretary of #defense, of being so “abusive” toward his second wife that she once hid in a closet from him & had a safe word to call for help if she needed to get away from him.

Hegseth Ex-Sister-in-Law Tells Senators He Was ‘Abusive’ to Second Wife

A woman once married to the brother of Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary nominee, submitted a sworn statement to the Senate in a late-hour complication to his confirmation. His lawyer denied her account.

If only female subs had $1 for every time they encountered a male Dom who was disappointed to find out that outside of the bedroom they were strong and independent women…

Mir gehen diese toxisch-männlichen Idioten sowas von auf den Sack, nicht erst seit Jahren. Aber derzeit gibt es da noch mal so eine Blüte, die es "normalen" Menschen (was ich für mich anstrebe) schwer macht, sich nicht aufzuregen. Symbolbild:

The thing that makes #ToxicMasculinty #toxic is, imo, emotional suppression.
Our empathy is the sense that lives in our physical selves (we've seen how this works using brain scans and other cool science) that allows us to connect with the people around us, and know when we're causing harm.
The only people who benefit from your lack of emotional intelligence are the ones who want you to hurt your own people so you never become a threat that has support.

"Globally, death by suicide occurred about 1.8 times more often among males than among females in 2008, and 1.7 times in 2015. IN THE WESTERN WORLD, MALES DIE BY SUICIDE THREE TO FOUR TIMES MORE OFTEN THAN DO FEMALES."

Talk about feelings with your mates. Also about "unmanly" stuff, about failures, about trauma.
If your "bros" call you "gay" for showing some vulnerability, and mean it in a despicable way, fuck them. They are homophobic, they are immature, and they are not your friends. Look for real friends. Seriously.

@VHasch @eileenmnoonan Contemporary with a romanticized post-WWI ‘Old Dixie’ monument/statue erecting nostalgia, rife from Antebellum-Woodrow Wilson politicized white cultural fear, Thomas Edison’s & early Hollywood’s Cowboy-Western silent films took off, evolving Technicolor/Dolby qualities unto the early 2000’s.
Today, 4-generations later, we realize how stunted devotees of these BS gun slinging neurotic movies are:
