    Emasculation as an insult assumes that females are the inferior sex.
    That what you wanna say, TLS?
    Go on, tell the women folk they're inferior.
    You already said it in codespoeak, come right out and say it honestly.
    Have you got the balls?

    Exactly. And nothing fits that bill more than those whining about others being more successful than them...and what they feel they're "entitled to".

    OR!!
    OR!!
    He could be saying that males have an unearned societal privilege, and trans-women reject that privilege, thus upsetting the apple cart, THEREFORE, being equated with a trans-woman is supposed to be a fearful thing to insult a hetero male with, therefore, insulting a real trans person in front of other hetero males is supposed to hold equal hierarchical fear, and therefore power.
    So, TLS's worldview is shit and garbage from either direction, but, let's see which direction he'll fess up to.

    I was referring to male snowflakes as being emasculated. By definition "emasculate" has nothing to do with women in the slightest so your comment is ridiculous.

    However, I have great respect for women who earn it. Why wouldn't I? They are NOT mentally inferior to men.

    Yeah, it does.
    It means to literally or symbolically chop the man's cock off, rendering him powerless and ineffectual.
    Like a woman.
    As seen by men in backward oldy-times.

    Learn yours. It means to "un-man" a man, take away his sense of self and self-worth. Not turn him into a woman.

    And when this language was formulated, what made a man a man?
    His dick, and where he shoved it.
    And his job, yeah, but no one called the royal privy emptier emasculated.
    It was a term reserved for cuckholds, eunuchs, and browbeaten husbands that failed to rule the roost.

    Wow, are you really going to make me quote the dictionary at you? Or will you not believe that because it starts with "dick"?

    • 1 : to deprive of strength, vigor, or spirit : weaken
    • 2 : to deprive of virility or procreative power : castrate
    • 3 : to remove the androecium of (a flower) in the process of artificial cross-pollination

      Synonym Discussion of emasculate
      unnerve, enervate, unman, emasculate mean to deprive of strength or vigor and the capacity for effective action. unnerve implies marked often temporary loss of courage, self-control, or power to act. unnerved by the near collision⟩ enervate suggests a gradual physical or moral weakening (as through luxury or indolence) until one is too feeble to make an effort. ⟨a nation's youth enervated by affluence and leisure⟩ unman implies a loss of manly vigor, fortitude, or spirit. ⟨a soldier unmanned by the terrors of battle⟩ emasculate stresses a depriving of characteristic force by removing something essential. ⟨an amendment that emasculates existing safeguards⟩

    You're dumb. Manhood is something a male child has to achieve and is not defined entirely by genitalia. In older languages, "boy" is a neuter word. Taking away a man's masculinity doesn't simply mean to make him a eunuch, nor does it imply that he is now a woman.

    That's fine and all, good luck. However... Do you accept that this whole matter is just not THAT important? Despite your good intentions, which I do not doubt: Sometimes, you "activists" sound like militant lunatics on a holy mission who fight against windmills. This is not a war. I am all for gender equality, equal rights for gay and trans people, etc.... However, c'est la tone qui fait la musique. You don't help your cause with rhetoric like this. Even people who are with you in this struggle are starting to get annoyed. Just my two cents.

    Nope.

    Don't blame me, blame the knuckleads from a couple centuries ago that pulled this puritanical hate language out of their own sad hangups.

    The only emasculated thing around here aside from the trans people is the special little snowflake, white and flakey, known as @TheLonelySquire who is crying because of the hipster Ken doll with a man bun is destroying his special white world. I am not the one who was crying over Rachael maddow styled Ken. You decided it would be great to show us all how the doll has victimized you. You cannot have it both ways. Either you are a man, or hipster Ken is a problem to you. Now man the fuck up you wussy little shit. Oh, and remember the guy in a dress is telling you to man up you sniveling little snowflake.

    Like some guy who is afraid of man bun Ken gets to tell people what special little snowflake means. You are damned lucky your computer doesn't beat your ass. I am going to have to stop thinking you rape little kids because all they need is to whip out a Ken doll and you are on the floor sucking your thumb in a fetal position.

    If you scroll halfway through the article you find this quote which should provide a bit of context......

    Gender roles are directly tied into feminism and transgender rights, so no, this isn't small to me. It is small and unimportant for people not affected by it, but for those who live it, it is everything.

    He might be right - apparently Selena Gomez has no procreative powers, because she refuses to have sex with me! I can see no other reason why she would refuse my advances!

    I took objection with your slogan "Down with binary gender roles", which sounds like "Down with fascim" to me, as if binary gender roles are something truly evil. Perhaps it's a matter of definition, I am not am expert... I just think that most people are quite happy with their traditonal binary gender roles. No need to bring anything down... Just like there is no need to be a homophobic asshole. There is a middle ground.

    I work in a job which is considered "girly" by many people. You know who gives me shit for it the most? My oh so emancipated, far-left female co-workers! :jj: But I don't feel threatened in my masculinity because of it. It's stupid, many people are stupid, and I laugh it off. :shrug: And when it comes to lifting heavy things, the ladies are quite happy that a guy is around! ;)

    The initial statement was tongue-in-cheek. I have no real issue with gender roles as long as they are voluntary, and as long as people aren't harassed for either abiding by them or foregoing them. I just like tweaking people who can't help but be furious because a boy might play with a doll, or a girl might not like pink.
