Why is punching a hole in the wall fragile? It seems angry, but not fragile. My cousin punched the wall (I don't know if the wall broke but he broke his hand) when his dad was killed by a drunk driver. This post is annoying and makes feminists look really bad (which is not hard to do).
Wait why does it make feminists look bad.
The insinuation here is that to “prove” your masculinity you need to do something aggressive. Hence the fragility. That’s not actually true, and any person with strong self confidence would know that
That fact that feminists think it's about proving your masculinity, rather than something people do when suffering from a surge of extreme emotional pain, makes feminist looks disgusting and like they have zero empathy. No one punches a wall to show off that they punched a wall and that it's somehow good that they punched a wall. What a ridiculous thought.
It doesn’t need to be feminists that think this. And you don’t need to be in emotional pain necessarily to punch a wall. I don’t know what you have against feminists to bring them up without it being entirely relevant. I don’t like them either but I don’t single them out.
Anyway to return to the original point...
It is an outdated notion that physical violence is manly. But unfortunately it’s still in the social mind space, particularly in conservative areas. Hence... when one wants to prove their masculinity (Because it’s fragile), they decide to punch a wall. Clearly not the best way to do it
Feminists are the only people who use the toxic phrase "fragile masculinity." That's why they are obviously being brought up. As I already explained, punching a wall is not to prove you're manly. No one does it on purpose. They do it beause they're in such intense pain they punch something. Feminists have no empathy.
...have..you ever met an actual feminist..?

I know plenty of people that acknowledge the existence of fragile masculinity, whether they believe in a patriarchy or not.

And also, dudes do punch walls for no fucking reason other than to 'prove' that they're manly, and I know that because my older brother used to do it all the time.
There aren't many feminists in real life. I live in one of the most liberal places in the country and I only knew 4 self identified feminists in the entire school. But yes I was friends with all 4 of them so I've met feminists.
You do realise that due to the highly negative connotation with feminists nowadays that a lot of people refuse to associate with the extremist ones, right? And you’re saying you’re friends with 4 feminists.... in one school.... in one city. That’s not a wide enough sample by ANY measure
It's a very wide sample. I went to a very large school. My school is a larger sample than most scientific polls. The negative connotation with feminists is because of their horrific and destructive views.
Is no one asking why a feminist would even be in a men's bathroom in the first place, let alone creating an art installation? Isn't the more obvious answer, that it's just some male coworkers busting another's balls by invoking a well known, to both sexes, trigger phrase?
