    Toxic 'Geek' Masculinity

    Sounds like a contradiction in terms but if you are successful in technology, are white and male then you are in the leftist liberal crosshairs:

    “Geek masculinity, with its absence of hypermasculine qualities and apparent association with ‘un-masculine’ traits, is often cast in popular culture as a marginalized masculinity,” the professors note, but they make clear that they do not buy this interpretation.

    “The dichotomy is false: geek masculinity is not marginalized,” they contend. “It is instead an inevitable evolution of hegemonic masculinity in a culture where dominance and technical mastery are increasingly interwoven.”
    Technical mastery is the new misogyny - you have been warned.

    Technical Mastery? Do they mean competence? Dianne Abbott must be well chuffed with this development.

      I think they mean any kind of 'dominance' which can mean being good at something and doing it well and successfully.

      If the feminists turned on their soyboys then I fear that may be a step too far.

        So let me get this straight, any straight white male who is physically or now intellectually stronger than a woman is now a misogynist.

        And trying to get other people to do the same things is wrong?

        What I really see is a bunch of lazy, thick, mouth breathers who find it easier to complain than git gud.

          That's about the size of it. It begs the question 'what do they actually want men to be like?'

              I’d dig a little deeper into this article if I were you.

              Campus Reforrm is a website obsessed with liberal bias in US universities.

                Something flew past me on twitter yesterday about maps being racist.

                Generally I think everything is now classed as racist in this postmodern neo Marxist world.

                    What is there to find? They wrote a book about it - I'm not reading that. Liberal bias in universities needs drawing attention to IMO. They are attacking free speech and it's government funded...
