I’m getting really sick of leftist social media like Bluesky just being about
being another echo chamber and completely unaware of it because “we’re the good
politics!” The sentiment that men are only men if they’re associated with the
right has been out in full swing for a few years now and it’s just tiring.
Harris didn’t win because men will never accept a woman president. Except all
the men who voted for her, they don’t count, the left gets told it has a problem
with men all the time and deflects by saying that it’s men who have the problem
by going to the right and supporting them. Never, not once, are men acknowledged
for supporting leftist beliefs or voting for the party, and it’s even looked
down upon when they ask for acknowledgement, like it’s entitlement while men on
the right live rent free in the heads of the leftist base. Men get shit on for
being asked to be recognized as men on the left but that identity is freely
given to men on the right, they don’t have to ask to be acknowledged or
recognized because they’re doing what is expected by being the bad guys.
Straight men in particular, you’ll be recognized as a man on the left if you’re
gay because it assures everyone who isn’t a man you don’t want anything from
them. Like for fuck’s sake the right is abhorrent and shames women and LBGTQ
people for their existence I don’t know how the left got to this point of also
saying “you’re not really a man unless you hate women” and not realizing they’re
perpetuating the same bullshit. Like I don’t hate women for being women, but I
fucking hate when people assert “all men just hate women” because it’s dumb shit
gender essentialism that is just dismissing anything a guy might say in response
that isn’t telling the speaker to go fuck themselves. Yeah of course the right
is doing better with men, they aren’t shaming them for existing and only
acknowledging them as being pieces of shit. It’s frustrating because there’s
days where I want to say fuck it and go join the other side and I think the left
actually wants that more than the right does because they validate men who do it
and men who stick with the left? “Yeah whatever do you want a medal?” How about
to be recognized as the gender I identify as and a human being? Apparently too
much to ask when it’s a man.

I’m legit surprised to find out this guy is vice president of the DNC, I
definitely agree with the idea we need younger people in politics and doing
something about it, but oh boy do I not want the political version of Wil
Wheaton to be responsible for it. I have no factual basis to say he creeps me
the hell out, but it’s like Lin Manuel Miranda making himself the lead in
Hamilton or something, in that way that he believes he’s a really great actor
who deserves to be the lead yet everyone else in that show performs circles
around him. Idk dude feels like a pod person or something and I’m not sure if
maybe I’m just crazy instead
I'm tired of the lack of intersectionality when it comes to men being hetero and queer

I heard the term “sapphic-coded male” the other day and it hit home in terms of
accuracy, and highlighted for me how such a possibility really isn’t
acknowledged by a part of the left. There seems to be an association that to be
a man you can’t value things that women do, or have feminine traits or
behaviors, and still be a straight man. The right is very open about this in a
hateful malicious way, the left less so, it’s incredibly present in the language
used and for more practical examples look at some well known trans women like
Contrapoints, Abigail Thorne, and November Kelly. Their ability to present as
sexual beings and say suggestive and explicit things is way different as women
than it ever was as men. If a guy openly talk about his love of bondage and kink
and just being horny they’re either coded as on the right or a creep if they’re
talking about women (being a thirsty gay guy is ok because they’re not straight)
but if you’re a woman who likes women then culturally it’s fine. To be clear I
don’t think there’s anything wrong with the above individuals and I’m a big fan
of all three, which is how this observation came about. Similarly going on
Tumblr or bluesky and seeing posts by women about how they don’t get why
heterosexual guys don’t like cutesy things or behaviors or relationships like
bi/gay women do and I want to scream because those guys completely exist and
want those things, the division of men into the groups of “stereotypical masc
hetero guy” and “gay or non-binary” isn’t real and a the left helps perpetuate
it by coding heterosexuality as bad or conservative. Also yes I’m saying the
left but more accurately mean whatever we’re calling the 2025 descendant of
Tumblr feminism
