http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2015/11/movember_mustache_campaign_for_prostate_cancer_is_misguided.html A good article. quote:Movember says that we protect men by celebrating masculinity. And that’s ridiculous.

Disinterested posted:I think good is a stretch Besides if breast cancer awareness involves a ton of "save the tatas" and boob stuff, why doesn't prostate cancer awareness involve a lot of buttplay stuff? The answer is that both are coded to be palatable to unselfaware straight men. Aeryk posted:I don't think I've ever heard it called a 'lady tickler' and I feel worse off for this information. "Houston’s Del Frisco’s Grille is joining others across the nation to raise funds and awareness for men's health issues for the Movember Foundation with their “Man-Up Stache-Up” fundraising effort. In honor of Movember, Del Frisco’s Grille has created two unique cocktails with Jack Daniels to be served all month long, “The Lady Tickler” and “The Stiff Upper Lip.”

Disinterested posted:The article somewhat misses the point that movember is explicitly designed to get the type of people who ordinarily wouldn't to take an interest and in that respect it's a huge success That doesn't mean that the criticisms mentioned in the article are invalid nor does it mean the gross aspects of it aren't there. It's using it as a lens to explore many things related to masculinity and illness. And it's not advocating for that kind of marketing, it's unpacking why it isn't done.

zoux posted:women though, super not insecure One difference is that masculinity to valued more highly than femininity; men's fragility is associated with keeping power and maintaining gendered roles whereas women's insecurity can be seen as a reaction to having to obtain power and survive within imposed gendered roles. Plus men are insecure about their masculinity whereas women tend not to be insecure about their femininity (e: as femininity as identity but rather how it's expressed/managed), though of course some can be I guess (e: without getting into aspects of reproduction which is where that does come into play, unfortunately). Also "women are insecure" is a stereotype, whereas men are generally told they're not insecure or should not be at the risk of not being manly, therefore pointing out that men are super insecure is both true and also useful. also i've met more insecure men than women Sharkie fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Nov 13, 2015 |

V. Illych L. posted:well ok an example: ok, that actually sounds like how "gay" or "human being" is used in the US (ex: "Look at that human being who likes that gay videogame...wait don't call me homophobic, I don't have a problem with gay people!!"), though thankfully people have been pushing back against it and using those words in that sense definitely marks you as a lovely and immature person, at least in many places. And in fact that use of "jew" is also going on in the US, it's just that I think if you scratch off the paint it's just common everyday antisemitism (or homophobia) underneath. Though of course I'm talking about my US perspective of how it's used in the US. Sharkie fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Nov 14, 2015 |

) are very sympathetic (as is Odysseus, I would argue; remember, he never wanted to go to war in the first place), but Helen really stands out given how much she gets hosed over and how little say she has in any of what happens to her

Rollofthedice posted:Book 24 of the Odyssey is believed by some to have been added in by a later poet, too, along with some modifications to earlier lines to allow for it. but it's subject to debate. I remember hearing this but it's been too long so I'm not sure what the reasoning is, except maybe it seems anticlimactic
