Recently Locked Into To Finish Painting My First 1k Of Tau

Why did someone send me this and claim it was proof women’s rights were under attack?

Yeah women aren’t the only caregiver and often due to socialization they push males out of parenting roles and often undermine males in these situations.

It’s actually part of the whole “women have historically been the child raisers” narrative. As a society women see themselves as the only ones who know how to raise kids and we even specifically use women as symbols of good parents despite men being statistically just as good at parenting.

You aren’t being attacked by this and if you see this as an attack you are a brainwashed idiot who thinks women’s only role is a walking womb who is meant to push out spawn and then raise them while the rock person you are married too go and dies in a war or something.

Toxic moms vs Good Fathers

The Crucial Role of Fathers in Child Development and Overcoming Maternal Gatekeeping

As a psychotherapist, I've observed firsthand how deeply impactful a father's role is in a child's emotional, psychological, and behavioral development. Current research underscores the importance of paternal involvement, highlighting the structured, authoritative approach fathers commonly adopt, characterized by clear expectations, discipline, and consistent guidance. These aspects of fatherhood foster independence, emotional resilience, and social competence in children (Frontiers in Psychology, 2022).

Why Fathers are Essential

Fathers uniquely contribute to children's growth through structured play and consistent discipline, significantly influencing children's emotional regulation, academic performance, and social interactions. Research shows that children with engaged fathers exhibit improved cognitive development, better behavioral outcomes, and enhanced emotional stability. Conversely, the absence of a father correlates strongly with increased risks for mood disorders, behavioral problems, and difficulties with emotional regulation (PMC, 2023).

Understanding Toxic Maternal Gatekeeping

While mothers often excel at nurturing, some behaviors, especially maternal gatekeeping, can inadvertently hinder a father's involvement. Maternal gatekeeping refers to behaviors where a mother may limit or restrict the father's access to the child, often through criticism, control, or undermining his parenting efforts. This behavior frequently stems from unresolved attachment issues, emotional insecurity, or distrust, particularly among mothers who themselves lacked a father figure in their upbringing (PMC, 2016).

Maternal gatekeeping not only undermines paternal engagement but can perpetuate generational cycles of absenteeism. Women raised without fathers are more likely to experience similar patterns in their own families, leading to ongoing familial dysfunction and emotional instability (Fatherhood.org, 2023).

Economic and Emotional Challenges in Father-Absent Households

Families without an actively involved father, particularly single-mother households, commonly experience economic hardships, increased stress, and limited social support. These stressors can negatively impact children's psychological and emotional well-being, highlighting the need for paternal presence to provide stability and structure. In contrast, single-father households typically report higher incomes and better resource accessibility, underscoring the socio-economic advantages of paternal involvement (Pew Research Center, 2013).

Strategies for Overcoming Maternal Gatekeeping

Fathers facing toxic maternal gatekeeping can employ several effective strategies:

Open Communication: Initiate respectful, non-confrontational discussions focused on the child's best interests.

Clearly Defined Roles: Establish written agreements outlining parental responsibilities and visitation.

Legal Support: Consult legal professionals early and document interactions meticulously.

Mediation and Therapy: Engage in mediation or family counseling to facilitate healthy co-parenting communication.

Parenting Education: Participate in parenting workshops to strengthen parenting skills and demonstrate commitment.

Child-Centric Approach: Prioritize the child's emotional health and consistently avoid negative speech about the other parent.

Strong Emotional Connections: Maximize quality time to build trust and strengthen bonds with the child.

Professional Support: Utilize individual and child-focused counseling to navigate emotional challenges and familial tensions.

Conclusion

As a psychotherapist, I've witnessed the transformative impact that involved fathers can have on their children's lives. Addressing and overcoming maternal gatekeeping behaviors is critical for fostering healthier family environments. By advocating for structured paternal involvement, supporting co-parenting strategies, and understanding the root causes of gatekeeping, we can significantly improve children's developmental outcomes, ensuring emotional, social, and psychological health for generations to come.

He isn’t he is defunding universities who speak out against him

Guess who also did this back in the 1930s ….

Trump apparently sent out documents asking if certain professors were “Jewish” and then demanding to know if there were any anti semitism they wanted to tell the gov.

Any Jewish person who sees that and doesn’t instantly realize how dangerous and insane this is… fucking forgot something very important

You will be used as a scapegoat for all the bs trump is doing eventually. Don’t comply and speak out cause shit is gonna get bad here for everyone not just “Hamas supporting Antifa super soldiers trans agenda socialist ideology” whatevers. Don’t fall for this propaganda Zionist bs they have been pushing cause they don’t give a fuck about your ass anymore than they care about the gays or other brown people around.

for some reason people in activism see masc and just toss someone into the “male oppressor” category and then tell them to shut up and be another body in the background but never to be seen as a person involved fully.

Also happens to butch lesbians sometimes too when they show up presenting fairly masc they get treated like shit or yelled at until they show they are women at pro women protests.

I spend more time on Reddit than Tumblr, and I feel like while the topic of transandrophobia is discussed less on Reddit, it definitely also faces a lot less backlash.

Over the past few days, I’ve seen multiple posts in the transmasc sub talking about transandrophobia both within and outside of the queer community (though they didn’t use that term). I‘m glad to see that it‘s even being discussed, but at the same time, I get really sad reading the comments and seeing all the horrible experiences transmascs have to deal with.

The most upvoted comment was from someone who said trans men were specifically asked not to speak at their local trans rights protest. When this person spoke out about this, they were told that trans men need to learn when to “shut the fuck up.” They were trying to speak as a representative of a local disability group, so they ended up without any representation, which makes it even more frustrating.

Idek, I‘m just tired.

This happens in Ukraine and we call it a war crime and a war on humanity

The Israelis do it to the Palestinians and the world watches and does nothing

Why do you only count the deaths of Jews and not others in your count? Again it’s odd you are doing this and denying these crimes happened

“We control the area completely and refuse to let outsiders in to help so we can hold Palestinians hostage in an open air concentration camp” - Israeli officials

Imagine if an Arab nation was doing this shit to a Jewish diaspora? They would be sanctioned and bombed to the Stone Age overnight

Radblr, we need to stop defending gay men. They fetishize our bodies by calling their anus "pussy" and yet turn around and call bodies disgusting
