35 “Hot Masculinity Takes” That Are So Wrong, They Had To Be Shamed On This Twitter Page (New Posts)
What does it mean to be a "real" man? Well, masculinity is one of those topics everyone has an opinion on, as gender norms remain a delicate subject that tends to spark heated debates online. And even though public attitudes are becoming more accepting in many ways, stereotypical patterns of masculine behavior are still deeply rooted in our society — according to the age-old cliché of the masculine guy, men are expected to be strong, brave, and dominant.
But in reality, when people are telling everyone that a macho man doesn't cry, takes risks, makes money, fears nothing, and — heaven forbid! — never shows any signs of emotional vulnerability, it can spark some pretty warped ideas about manhood.
Thanks to one illuminating corner of Twitter called 'Hot Masculinity Takes,' we get to see a galore of absurd cases when this happens online. "Welcome to the Alpha Zone," says the account’s description, and you already know it’s gonna be a wild ride. So continue scrolling to check out the absolutely ridiculous opinions about men on the Internet, and don’t miss the chat we had about masculinity with licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Jesse Matthews right below.
Psst! After you’re done with this list, more madness awaits in Part 1 of this feature right here.

I wanna punch the idiot who wrote this put down. And I’m an oh-so-estrogenic woman. My crushing lack of testosterone must be making me so irrational to say something like this. Isn’t it?🙄😤😡 Who is this misogynistic weirdo, to think he can be rude to the ladies and gentlemen like that? Bet he’s an insecure neckbeard.

This screams red flag all over. Anyone under that height is usually underage (with the exception of naturally petite women).

And men wonder why we women have a tendency to come off as cold, closed-off, and wary with men we dont know. Obviously, even the men we DO think we know can be a danger to us.

High blood pressure, obesity, high blood sugar, malnutrition, but I can't think of any real reasons.

Say you're insecure about your masculinity without saying you're insecure about your masculinity

He is a man. He says men are child molestors. I don’t like where this is going.

Chechnya? As in the Chechen Republic, one of Russian republics? One of the most dangerous places in Russia for LGBTQ+ people? Seriously?

why do think you have to be powerful to have worth? Could it be, idk, the patriarchy?

Let me do the experiment. (Crosses legs. Uncrosses legs. Checks inside pants. Yep, balls still there.) You don't really understand male anatomy, do you, dear?

Probably the most offensive, inaccurate thread of opinions I have ever seen in my life. Underneath the endless, unbridled rage, I'm kind of impressed by their complete lack of recognition for their privilege.

Yeah. REAL men don't have disabilities, congenital illnesses or defects, or prior conditions or accidents that could make them vulnerable to Covid if they're under 65!!! Obviously!!! (/s in case it wasn't clear XD )

In my experience, if you give a man a smartphone, he will find funny tiktoks to show you, a handful of fun games, and so much porn.

What makes him think he's even worthy? Men that won't date single mums are terrified of being seen as weak and useless because single mums are independent and strong.

No man deserves that? No man deserves that?!! So all men are just s**t, and must be punished by having to be a breadwinner?

I get confused in posts like this, am I supposed to upvote the worse/most ridiculous ones or downvote them?

So...being a 'real man' means being a violent, unwashed sexual predator? No wonder women want to stay away from them. Seriously, though, this thread was scary. These men are one step away from idolizing serial killers, and some are already seeing mass murderers as 'saints'

Guys that downvoted Yugan Talovich's post... John Brown was a black abolitionist and General Sherman was a Union Commander who defeated the Confederates at Atlanta, and freed the enslaved people his army encountered, giving each formerly enslaved family forty acres and an army mule. His idea was that black people should be self-sustaining/self-reliant.

Can you imagine living your life in such great fear of natural human emotions and behaviors in yourself and others? It seems exhausting. I don’t understand how anyone could consider such hand-wringing cowardice desirable or masculine.

They are very obsessed with what other men do and what they are eating especially.
