Politics self-own toxic masculinity

Some people just want things to be like they used to be. In this specific case, that means things like a wife who doesn’t have any rights, and just exists to bear children and cook for her big strong man.

Let this almost certainly AI-generated image, posted by the appropriately named Toxic Cowboy, do the talking.

Cartoon-like image of a blonde woman mixing something in a mixing bowl, with a tall dark man holding a blonde baby, and kissing her cheek. A dark-haired young girl stands next to them smiling and looking at the woman. Texxt says - Imagine how much propaganda it took to convince women that this is oppressive

The overlaid text implies that women have been conditioned to think differently about what kind of life they’d like to lead. Presumably one that might align more with their own personal ambitions, one that might not look exactly like this. And the only reason they think that is because of the media.

There’s a lot wrong about this line of thinking, most of which is outlined pretty cleanly in these righteously indignant replies.
