What does this even mean? She's doing whatever she wants to with her own body - which reflects not at all on other women and impacts most men not at all either. It's a blip. So what? What is wrong with you that you want to see her beaten up??? You honestly think that a woman having sex the way that she wants to for the reasons she wants to is worse than a husband facilitating a decade of rapes?? 🤦♀️
Don't make women responsible for men's behaviors. That's a complete and total cop-out and I'm not having it. Next you'll be having us in burkas so we don't tempt you guys. Grow up and act like an adult or we'll have to remove you all from any positions of responsibility or authority.
Men (and women) are largely the way they have been indoctrinated since birth to behave in this particular culture at this particular time in history. That's what gender norms means.
And although much of this societal messaging is that males are more competent, independent, and worthy of holding power, strict gender norms hurt boys and men as well. The Global Early Adolescent Study, based at Johns Hopkins University, concludes that due to these gender norms, “they engage in and are the victims of physical violence to a much greater extent than girls; they die more frequently from unintentional injuries, are more prone to substance abuse and suicide; and as adults their life expectancy is shorter than that of women. Such differences are socially not biologically determined.”
“In the Middle Ages there was a trope of masculine weeping being a mark of religious devotion and knightly chivalry; by the sixteenth century it was well-established that a masculine man was supposed to have deep emotions and to show them — in some cases, through tears.”
“The main thrust of the subsequent research is that traditional masculinity — marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression — is, on the whole, harmful.”
PS — use your Google machine to look up what mainstream feminine norms are.
