"Masculine Energy"

@kmcshane It's funny/sad that this kinda just happened, only the punchline was more punitive IRL.

"5% of you are fired."

@kmcshane The mature definition is also problematic. All power should be abolished!

@joenepraat @kmcshane Ah, I see I was not clear. How could such a thing be accomplished with human nature being what it is?

@ariaflame Maybe you should read The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow as well. That's all I have to say in this thread. Good luck with your endeavours.

@kmcshane This reminds me when I was working for The Fork.
A French manager from the design department named Yannick sneaked in our office and came closer to me, 'clocking me' with a nonsensical narrative saying there was "too much estrogen in our team" and that "if we leaved all women on their own (implying with no men as supervisor) jealousy and disputes would manifest" [literal quotes].
Most ladies in the team looked at each other flabbergasted and he left.
I reported this toxic rhetoric to management and HR and was fired the following week.

Thank you The Fork; you've been a great Trip Advisor to me!
I will remember you next time I need venues or restaurants advices.

@kmcshane This exactly what I was thinking earlier today when a German public radio journalist said something like “Trump celebrates masculinity”. What kind of masculinity? Certainly not this century's definition.
@kmcshane im gonna go with childish
@kmcshane Dominance is not masculine energy and energy has nothing to do with dominance. 🙃
@kmcshane, he should fire people organising a fight club kinda thing. He'd be the first one out!

@kmcshane "Mature definition" kek

The fact that you use the phrase "less privileged" while also setting up a false dichotomy power with "protect & uplift" vs "aggressive & harm" shows how you misunderstand the concept.

Those two are the same thing, just within a specific frame and from the dichotomous point of view.

To care for something or someone in need of protection requires aggression and power to both deter and overcome whatever is posing a threat with harm. You cannot hold that accountable because that will deter the protection itself. The more Daniel Penny cases, the more chilling effect it will have.

In simpler terms, when me victim, man aggressive and harm good. When me perpetrate, man aggressive and harm bad.

So, if you stood up and asked Mr. Big Zucc this question, he would be quite right in staring at you like the idiot you are, and telling you (and by proxy your constituents agreeing with you) that you're fired.

@kmcshane
Whenever any of the techbros start wanging on about masculine energy I wonder how they'd fare is a situation chock-full of masculine energy that hasn't been stage-managed for them, like a steel foundry or a dockside pub or the last bus out of Leeds on a Saturday night, and I can't help feeling there'd be a lot of evacuation of the bowels into skinny jeans energy on their part.

@kmcshane I'm probably not the first one to say it but…

"Masculine energy" is the new "move fast and break things"

@kmcshane what about a childish definition where men are allowed to have feeling and express them in an healthy way?

why always using the children for the bad definition?

@kmcshane Aha, so that's what the Tech Bros ™ mean when they want that "Masculine Energy"? 🫣

@kmcshane Muck v Zuck went from a televised fight to a homoerotic porn fantasy for 14 year old red pilled incels very quickly.
@kmcshane I think more "egoist" than "childish".
@kmcshane sitting all the day long at the desktop, feasting in the BS of Facebook and realizing a lack of masculin energy in the evening, feeling almost castrated. Funny.
