Do better Hexbear smdh soviet-huff

Edit: I am currently balding folks, it’s happening right now. It’s still not misandry if someone makes fun of me, even if it’s not very nice and hurts my feelings

    There’s something to most body shaming that’s inextricably tied to gender production, performance, and reinforcement imo. And of course its intersections with race, class, etc.

    “Misandry” implies a social orientation that uniquely disadvantages men, though, when it’s more realistically gender ideology (and all its intersections) that suppresses/warps each individual’s pre-gender or non-gendered essence. “Patriarchy” as a term can easily encompass harms experienced by masculine people in gendered society.

      I know a few women who were balding from a pretty early age (20s or earlier) and uh… Let me tell you, women have it worse on that front (albeit less frequently)

        Yeah hair is an annoyingly impactful signifier wrt femininity, more than it is for masculine expression. And the beauty standards angle of gender expression is much harsher on femininity than masculinity
