Toxic Masculinity Skyscrapers: ‘Upward-thrusting buildings ejaculating into the sky’

45

From this:

“I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York’s skyline. Particularly when one can’t see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible….but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body.”

To this. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

‘Upward-thrusting buildings ejaculating into the sky’ – do cities have to be so sexist?

Toxic masculinity is built into the fabric of our urban spaces, writes Leslie Kern, author of new book Feminist City. And the results aren’t just divisive – they can be lethal

Leslie Kern, Guardian, 6 Jul 2020:

Glass ceilings and phallic towers. Mean streets and dark alleys. Road names and statues of men. From the physical to the metaphorical, the city is filled with reminders of masculine power. And yet we rarely talk of the urban landscape as an active participant in gender inequality. A building, no matter how phallic, isn’t actually misogynist, is it? Surely a skyscraper isn’t responsible for sexual harassment, the wage gap, or even the glass ceiling, whether it has a literal one up top or not?

That said, our built environments can still reflect patterns of gender-based discrimination. To imagine the city and its structures as neutral places where complicated human social relations are staged is to ignore the simple fact that people built these places. As the feminist geographer Jane Darke has said: “Our cities are patriarchy written in stone, brick, glass and concrete.” In other words, cities reflect the norms of the societies that build them. And sexism is a deep-rooted norm.

Don’t bother to read the rest.

ONLY in the eyes of the beholder, is the beholder triggered and screaming in pain over their own INABILITY to destroy someone else’ achievements. I CALL THAT JEALOUSY THAT THESE LIBERALS CANNOT CREATE ANYTHING GOOD ON THEIR OWN, SO THEY MUST DESTROY SOMEONE ELSE’S. Now, THAT IS PURE INSANITY.

WE HAVE SOME REALLY INSANE PEOPLE OUT THERE. Are all you LIBERAL SNOWFLAKES going to tear these skyscrapers down JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK they are sexist? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL YOU LIBERAL IDIOTS?

REAGAN should never have closed all the INSANE ASYLUMS. We sure do need them now!

When Ronnie “The Commie” Reagan, as governor of California, closed the cuckoo farms, he had no choice, It was based on court rulings.

BUT, when Ronny opened the floodgates of illegal immigration, by giving MILLIONS of illegal aliens, that should have been imprisoned and then deported, amnesty inclusive of ALL U.S. Taxpayer Provided Welfare benefits …..

That one was ALL on Ronnie The Commie.

I well recall that most traditional Republicans considered President Reagan, when he was Governor Reagan, somewhat of a liberal. Not really a leftist, but someone that bowed to the gimme gimmes.

When I was gone, from North America … around a decade … I was shocked, upon returning, and hearing how President Reagan was considered a conservative’s conservative.

Time passages.

Reagan had liberal tendencies such as no fault divorce because he went through one and giving out amnesty was a huge mistake but Reagan wasn’t a communist and he was hated by the deep state in those days just as Trump is today but not nearly as bad as Trump has it. Neither Reagan or Trump are communists.

Reagan’s deepest regret was to have H.W. Bush as his VP. That was the olive branch to the deep state to back off or he would have had an open GOP revolt as Trump has now. Trump and Reagan are both capitalists.

When President Regan kicked self-employment tax up to 15.3%, from dollar one, in order to pay the “greatest generation” (that had paid in, on average, around 3-5%) their HUGE COLA increases, that was an act of ONE SOLID SOCIALIST.

Talk is cheap. Actions speak FAR louder than words.

I judge an Administration by what it does to me, good or bad. Reagan’s socialist bent, hurt most boomers … and did so dramatically.

When prevailing interest rates were in excess of 20% (91 day t-bills actually traded, at auction, yielding 21% and overnight repos exceeded 23%). If that 15/3% hadn’t been stolen, in order to pay the “greatest generation” an exorbitant amount of money, most boomers would be multi-millionaires today.

To steal from the productive in order to redistribute to the non productive … If that’s not the epitome of socialism, what is?

Going back many decades (close to five of ’em), I had a penchant for reading, and studying, political theory. I read all of Proudhon and Bakunin’s writings. It struck me that true conservatism was closely linked with anarchism.

No state to bail one out. The individual was responsible for himself and his …. No free anything. If there were to be roads, one would pay to use them (hard with a no currency, but Proudhon had some methodology for such). If an individual wanted to educate their children, they did so themselves or paid someone to do so for them. The same for medical treatments. The list goes on.

Hard to get more “conservative” than taking care of yourself and what is yours.

I guess the gilding wears off most political figures. FDR, for instance. My old man thought he was the greatest thing that ever occupied the White House, but now…the consequences decades later say maybe not so much. Many others get tarnished badly with hindsight.
At least it’s stark now.

I was raised where the “D” in Franklin “D” stood for “Demonspawn”. My father was always referring to that dead president as a “red richie”.

Interesting kindergarten story about Hairy Ass Truman.

The kick to 15.3% isn’t hindsight. It started the moment that it kicked in.

In 1966, self-employment tax stood at 2%. Although Medicare (Title Act 18) commenced in 1966 (passed into law in ’65), they didn’t add an additional amount until 1968. And, that kicked the tax up to 2.5%.

If Ronny’s 15.3% wasn’t an example of going total socialist, give me something that is.

He did NOT have to do it. Easily vetoed and not overridden. Place the blame where it belongs.

And, don’t get me started on his commie self-employment tax, being raised to 15.3%, from dollar one.

Quite the conservative, wasn’t he?

I forget what the exact percentage is but it is over 70% of black kids have no father present in their home. Black daughters and sons need a father in their lives. It’s easy to understand with the high divorce rates and government benefits replacing dads and abortion as an easy option the BLM and similar movements appeal to allot of people! The destruction of the family is not just with black people. Anchor babies and white feminists have the same mindset.

Feminists don’t like patriarchal males. They want a matriarchy where they call the shots. It is no coincidence that most of these BLM women were raised by single mothers.

No matriarchy has EVER succeeded in history, the very few and far between exceptions (i.e. Maggie Thatcher as British PM, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem) notwithstanding. Far too many are of what we are now witnessing in Finland.

Their hatred of males is part of what feeds their push to spread transgenderism.

BLM is anti straight male –

We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).

We build a space that affirms Black women and is free from sexism, misogyny, and environments in which men are centered.

This is EXACTLY why I equate “LGBT rights” in general, and “trans rights” in particular, with Antifa, OWS, ANSWER, BLM and the #MeToo / Time’s Up / Women’s March axis. It underscores just how much the motive behind the promotion of homosexuality and especially transgenderism is purely subversive (both politically and otherwise) and totally about destroying not only the institution of the nuclear family, but the entire Judeo-Christian moral structure (and replace it with morally depraved, perverted, radical fringe Greenwich Village/San Francisco/Fire Island “values” as rooted in the bathhouses and gay bars). It shows just how much the furtherance of transgenderism is in reality all one middle finger to not only “gender” norms dating back thousands of years, but also G-d and nature and biology and genetics. It proves beyond a doubt that transgender is indeed ideology, completely man-made, out to override and supersede biology and what nature intended. To say nothing of it being totally supremacist, out to take over and dominate.

It didn’t work out for the Pilgrims but they don’t teach that in most schools today.

Welcome to communal living where people are lazy, impoverished and live in filth. Karl Marx is notorious for being lazy, living in filth and leaching off of a wealthy friend, Fredrich Engles, the spoiled, rebellious son of a wealthy factory owner.

Remember, it is for this same motivation that this feminazi’s ilk supports the further spreading of transgenderism, and especially transgenderizing of boys into “girls” which literally involves cutting off and removing their manhood. It is ALL, to them, about “eradicating toxic masculinity” and “smashing the patriarchy.” It also keys in to their drive to eradicate manly, macho, masculine fossil fuels and other traditional energy sources (including coal) and replacing them with sissy, limp-wristed, effeminate, girly “green” energy.

And speaking of which, Instagram has now deemed as “hate speech” therapy designed to encourage people to leave the LGBT lifestyle if they so desired – thus ensuring they remain trapped in that dead-end road forever (and further sucked into an abyss of depravity, degeneracy, deviancy, perversion and degradation), not unlike those who join into the Mafia or Islam where people are likewise bound for life and are not allowed any way out. How long will it be before groups that encourage people to “leave Islam safely” will likewise be branded as promulgating “hate speech” and outlawed as no doubt HAMAS CAIR seeks?
