    Considering how bad the influence of masculinism has become, I find it more and more discomforting to see this image used to mean good, right and proper. This feeds into the horrible standards they push and promote.

      Pretty sure I’ve actually seen this image used against the manosphere people more than anything, with the Andrew Tate types being depicted as Soyjaks.

      The masculine thing is to treat women with respect and equality, rather than attempting to lord over them and pretend we (men) are somehow better or importanter. The latter is a sign of being insecure, not masculine.

        Soyjaks

        Which is another harmful stereotype around the manly meat-eater vs. weak ‘soyboy’ tropes (which also has a history in anti-Asian racism)
