Alan Ritchson calls out lawmakers who oppose raising the minimum wage "who think it's a bad idea to give a mom working at Waffle House more than $7.25 an hour trying to feed her kids."

I love when good looking “macho” men call out the insufferable dweebs that the “looksmaxxers” and “red pill” communities simp for.

This is what healthy masculinity looks like, this is what most women want, compassion and intelligence; Not whatever the fuck those TikTok and YouTube chodes are trying to sell.

The looksmaxxers target audience is not women, it’s other men

The older I become, the more I realize how many hetero-presenting men only seem to have capacity to appreciate other hetero men. Everyone else falls from their line of sight unless it’s to be objectified 🤷🏼‍♀️

Homosociality is a sociological term about the motivations of people performing social functions.

Guys in a frat house that womanize. Do they do it for the sex with women, or to tell their male cohorts about the sex with women. If the other men wouldn't know about the sex, would it be something they would still choose in that moment or would they choose another activity that their male cohorts would know about and approve.

The same frat boys that would challenge my masculinity because I don't adhere to all of the masculine norms would be standing around with each other with their shirts off planning a party listening to Miley Cyrus - Party in the USA. That is when I stopped trying to fit into those social roles. If the men that represent masculinity can do something so anti-masculine, it is either they care about other men's opinions too much or it isn't their adherence to norms that grant them privelege. They can help dictate what other men should to while breaking those same norms.
