Hi my name is Aaron, a shitty poster, myth nerd and normally causal dude.
I´m a cisgender male, young adult, but the things you´ve described sound way to close to home. I have and had a different conception of manliness in comparison to my old peers and I´m happy being a male, but they didn´t think of me as "manly" ( I don´t enjoy the things they liked but I accepted them, they did not), whatever. (we were between 6-16 years, yeah cons of a small town). they saw that some of my interest were girly (flowers, butterflies, poetry, gems, music...) and called me a pxssy and gay (I didn´t and don´t have an attraction towards men, to be honest I don´t like anyone sexually although I´m a die hardcore romantic)
But my life has been full of awesome women, but sometimes my friends (all girls) feared that being close to them was a social death sentence for me (they care for me so much and were amazing) and thought the other "boys" were going to bully me (they did), so I was the outcast of both worlds and that did hurt a lot, sometimes I was left alone because they wouldn´t talk to men about somethings (slumber parties, boy bands, etc..) and I their friend the "honorary gal ", was left out of conversation, and when talking to the boys that were not bullies I was treated way differently, because they too were afraid of the Bullies.(The bullies and their parents were awful,misogynists and usually high regarded in my school community)
So yeah, because a few rotten apples are in the basket, doesn´t mean all are rotten, but the spoiled rotten faster the others
When I came to uni I found out boys with my same interest and different too, and they´re one of the sweetest people I´ve ever met and they´re normal people, not everyone is bad, heck they were only like a handful of 5 kids, and I also have founded terrible women too, the world´s big and with so many people you´re bound to find bad people regardless of gender
I hope you stop getting hate comments and I hope that my part can help in the awareness that not all men nor gender is bad, there´re bad and mean PEOPLE, not collectives, stereotypes are awful and so harming both ways.
Yours truly
Aaron of Ithaca 🤍💙
Also I´m neither a misandric nor misogynist, I´m not anti-men, beacuse then I will be an hypocrite, I only wrote this to show that there are bad people and awesome people in every group.
My queers, we really need to put the "no men" thing away. Men are not inherently bad. There are queer men. There are questioning men. There's men that are just plain cool. Denying these men a space at our table is not helping - except the TERFs. I just came off the back of reading a transphobe gleeful rant about the need to have pride without men - They of course mean me. This kind of stuff is damaging to me and I really need us all to take a step back and maybe kill this "men dni, men not allowed" stuff. What you mean is "no men who are going to do mean stuff to me." And frankly those men won't give a shit about that kind of boundary.
But I promise you there's a fleet of good honest men who will see that and be sad they're not allowed in your version of queer spaces.
PATRIARCHY is what you hate. Dni Patriarchs.
Sorry I moaned when you stroked my cheek and put your thumb in my mouth, it will happen again
