I don't know why I made this video.

ENOUGH SMALL TALK.
Here is a new video. It's nominally about Nick Adam's bizarre twitter presence, but mostly a reflection on the ways that prescriptive masculinity is a prison of men's own making.

Long-time viewer, first-time commenter, but that bit in the middle of the video ahere you talk about how the “alpha male” mindset is a literal prison of anti-human misery is SO accurate and SO real. Legit, when I came out as bi (and later, a trans woman), I *immediately* felt like I’d just escaped a steel cage I was trapped in *right before* it sunk fully into the ocean and killed me. I feel more secure in my masculinity as a bi trans woman than as a straight cis dude, and even *now*, I have to *force* myself to look at Girl Products when I go to the drugstore to get that stuff, because the wretched garbage brainworms of Things Mans No Does have burrowed so fucking deep in my head that my brain still instinctively rejects looking at Girl Stuff even though I’m a goddamn girl! And my cishet masc prison cell was relatively well-furnished compared to the stark hate machines most guys I know are trapped inside! 😩 Anyway, this might come off like trauma dumping, for which I apologize, but you’re SO right! Thanks for all the great content, Mildred! Big, big fan!

I work at a restaurant that "dresses up" as other restaurants for Halloween and I've been pulling for "fem-boy hooters" but "unionized hooters" could be even better.

Oh! Almost forgot, there was coloring books when I last went into a hooters when I was a teenager, I was very confused. I still don’t know why that was a thing
Ken
Everything you showed me made me confused if he was in on his own parody or if he was in some paradox space of both being in and not in on his own joke

This is exactly why Twitter belongs in the recycle bin

I have no idea why anyone would want to be such a self-parody.
