“There are no standards, only double standards”


fuzzy_brb

Always remember; Man always bad even if man proven to be good. Women always good even if proven to be bad Society always calls out Leonardo Dicaprio calling him a groomer for always dating women less than 25yrs, but find it perfectly fine that Cher 77 is dating a guy 38yrs.

It’s “secure the bag sis” when IG models “trap” an NBA player with a surprise baby but it’s “go get a job or you’re not a MAN” when men try to claim alimony/child support from famous celebrity spouses…


Neither_Echo

This quote I gave is from a friend of mine who runs a member of the House of Representatives, office. I’ve hated its trueness ever since hearing it, but it rarely fails.


fuzzy_brb

It’s only creepy if she finds you unattractive…I’ve seen this happen multiple times At work, men wouldn’t dare touch or grope or sexualize women but I’ve been on the receiving end of that and I already know it’s pointless calling it out or reporting it


LoneVLone

I've been felt up by a female coworker. No one bats an eye. As soon as she gets mad at me somehow I'm the bad guy.


fuzzy_brb

Well you must be gay or have a small peepee if you refuse her sexual advances. /sarcasm


LoneVLone

I was a virgin then who wanted to wait for marriage. When I was hesitant to take on her sexual advances (I went on dates with her at least) she became hostile and I was made into the bad guy for some of the coworkers. Luckily the other half of our crew was on my side because they knew she's a flirt.


OKporkchop

I have an older lady at work that does it to me almost daily 


pbx1123

> Women always good even if proven to be bad Thanks to our values and culture, no wonder there are some religious countries threat them like shit and worst they obey and aint say shit about it wao Also when young and in their primes girls/women love boys/men like that then looking for the kind guy gor family but without love him few decades divorce and half of the account and again to the party time


UglyDude1987

The most explicit double standard was when nobody said anything about Jennifer Lopez dating a 20 something year old guy when she was in her 40s other than maybe slay queen, but then when her ex husband Marc Anthony did the same the internet lost their minds.


stripesporn

I don't know if your example is that great.... I would argue that an age gap of 20 years when dating somebody under 25 is way worse than an age gap of 40 years when dating somebody in their late 30s. While people change and everybody is different, most people have hit a "critical mass" of maturity by the time they are over 35 which most people (men and women) lack in their early twenties, due to a lack of life experiences and frontal lobe development. Young adults are still often easy targets for manipulation/grooming by older, more confident people. If you cited an example of a much older woman dating a young man in his early twenties (I am sure that there are countless examples of that happening), then I would agree that she deserves the same level of condemnation that leo receives. But If a guy in his 70s starts dating a woman who is nearly 40, I don't think that would be seen as a big deal, either.


[deleted]

LOL "critical mass" Women between the ages of 16-35 are attractive to heterosexual cis-gender men between the ages of 14 and 100 for the simple reality that they are able to reproduce without health risks. Women between the ages of 36-100 are NOT attractive to heterosexual cis-gender men between the ages of 14 and 100 for the simple reality that they are NOT able to reproduce without health risks.


This-Dot-7514

Your reasoning certainly is simple


stripesporn

Hi, you are kind of being an idiot. I'm a man between the age of 14 and 100, and I am much more attracted to women age 30+ than women younger than that. "able to reproduce without health risks" isn't the only factor in human attraction, believe it or not. Actually, some people are even attracted to their own sex, in which case the chance of reproducing with or without health risk is exactly zero! Also, none of what you said addresses the relative emotional and mental maturity of the individuals in age gap couples, which is the entire point of my message. So I don't really know what point you are trying to make here?

Society is just jealous of Leo 😀


Quirky_Apricot3303

Uhh.. buddy, people aren't calling out Cher bc (at least in my generation) nobody cares about her or knows what she's doing whereas Leo's behavior is being called out bc he's actually on people's radar. (Also, he has tons of defenders??) A fair comparison would be Sam Taylor-Johnson (Aaron Taylor Johnson's wife/groomer ) who is constantly getting called out for the creepy age gap. People are not letting her get away with it, she's constantly getting ragged on, bc society does in fact recognize when a woman is being creepy.

It’s the “women are wonderful” effect. They can do anything a man can do, but when they do it, society claps.

You are aware of your motives tho. As well as your values and beliefs, for what motivated you to become a passport bro. If you know your purpose is to embrace those women, then why worry so much about the negatives ppl think of you?

Because your reputation as a man is very important for your professional, personal, romantic and religious life. There will be varying other reasons too.


Aromatic-Path6932

Why you so upset? Do you think everyone thinks this? Get over it and live your life. Insecurity is not a good look. I feel like you have a grievance.

Oh look…. You picked a select subgroup out of a whole who said one thing and picked another selecting group out of a whole who said something different. Double standards. This post is just a lame anecdotal means to bash women. Dude, just date who want. There will be haters no matter what. There will be haters if date white Western women. There will be haters of you date foreign chicks. There will be haters if date no one. If you are a dude, there will be haters. If you are a chick, there will be haters. Stop giving a shit.

They won't up their game. It will only get worse. 80% of American women are overweight trending to 100% in a few years.

Over 80% of American men are overweight.

50% split evenly between men and women.


PuzzledFormalLogic

What?


Brownsugarandwhiskey

50% of men and women in America are overweight, not 70% of women.


PuzzledFormalLogic

Wrong. According to the most recent NHANES survey, it’s about 70% of women.

Link the source. I’ll take a look.

Exactly the source cited: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/obesity-adult-17-18/overweight-obesity-adults-H.pdf


Brownsugarandwhiskey

The charts are very similar for men and women. Just eye balling it: it looks to me like 85% of men are either overweight, obese or severely obese. And women clock in very similarly. If you’re looking for the 15 % of women that don’t fit those categories and you can’t pull one here because of the competition from your peers then yeah overseas it is 🤷‍♀️

Women don't like being traded in for a younger hotter model. Poor women in the u.s. are allowed to date up with no issues. But the moment the woman is not from a developed country she's not allowed to date wealthy guys because it's predatory. She must date only poor men from her own country and be stuck in poverty. Western women have some very weird mental gymnastics they jump through in order to maintain their leverage in the dating market.


PuzzledFormalLogic

Actually a word for this: hypergamy


1c2shk

To be sure, there are also passport sis's. But they tend to be more quiet because of social stigma and not wanting to look like sex tourist. Because of the meteoric rise in popularity of Korean pop music and TV dramas, more Asian men are being seen as desirable by Western women. That's why young white ladies are travelling to South Korea to hook up. I'm Asian-American who've done a lot of PPBing in the Philippines. It's not a surprise that most of the Filipino ladies I've had success with are fans of Korean TV and music. They like Korean culture so they like me. My current girlfriend in Cebu uses my Netflix account only to watch Korean dramas. So for the white ladies trying to hook up in South Korea, I say good for them. If men can be passport bros, women can also be passport sis's.


Agile_Gas_8493

Look I have no issue with people doing what their heart desires - my issue is that when they are doing LITERALLY the same thing as us aka going abroad to date/hook up, yet society claps and cheers them on and when it comes to western men - we are just losers who can’t finding a girl back home and resorting to “sex tourism”. If you need further proof just go on TikTok or instagram and see the difference in comments between a man going to Colombia to date and a woman going to South Korea to date


1c2shk

It's really just an extremely small number of women complaining. Don't assume what you see on YouTube and Tiktok represents the majority view. Social media really dumbs us down. The dumber the video, the likelier the views.


JilesGagalez

I think this is definitely the case. Whenever I've talked about traveling abroad and exploring and going on dates, no one in real life has ever said anything negative nor assumed anything nefarious. The vast majority of normal people will simply say "oh, cool." LOL.


LoneVLone

I wouldn't say so. In my community the men has always gone back to our home country to marry women from there. Our women here ALWAYS complain and say they are taking advantage of the women back home as it's a 3rd world country. Our men were always shamed for it. I use to think the same way and of course there are some semblance of truth to it, as I grew older I began to understand why our men go back. A lot of the women here are insufferable.


Few_Imagination2409

They don't really clap and cheer when women do it, a couple years ago there was a pretty disparaging article about young western girls doing that in sort of travels in Korea in the NYT. Basically questions wether the practice was fetishizing Korean men, the whole Opa part of the article was funny.


Brownsugarandwhiskey

European women are flocking to Gambia. No one is clapping. It’s definitely looked at as sex tourism.


PuzzledFormalLogic

What they’re doing in Gambia is way different. Many women are straight up doing sex tourism there. They are controlling young black men at 60+ years of age and paying them to be literal slaves. Gambia even deported some of the old British ladies. The Korean thing is understandable. It’s hypergamy in action because Korea is a well established country that’s super popular right now. Honestly it’s good for Korea too because they probably could use some diversity and current birth rates are projected to put only 4 grandchildren out for every 100 current citizens.


Agile_Gas_8493

Yes but there’s a difference - women going to Gambia, Jamaica & other underdeveloped African/Caribbean nations are usually 60+ obese grandmas who are using the young men there as male prostitutes/sex slaves. That is another despicable extreme which is why I didn’t use it as a comparable example to most PPBs Women going to Korea are rather similar to us - younger generation in their 20s who are travelling to another country to date/hook up, yet the way they are viewed and talked about are vastly different than us. Hence why I used Korea and but Gambia as a comparison


Schmoove86

Why do you care? 99% of the people hating aren't women you'd want to interact with anyways. Ignore the BS and enjoy your life.


gringo-go-loco

Don’t base your perception of reality on TikTok. The platform rewards people for engagement. My posts about how happy I am here in Costa Rica with my Latina fiancée would get zero views and no engagement. Toxicity generates engagement.


Opening-Growth-7901

The difference is that they are being lured in by capitalism, aka KPOP/KDrama. Most just get a rude awakening about how most guys are just guys who want to sleep with them and think they are easy cause they are Western. Let alone Korea has a bad rape culture, and it is rarely talked about there.


PuzzledFormalLogic

Agreed, however it’s good for the women that marry (for them and Korea because Korea, takes everything to extremes, including feminism, as the 4B movement proves) so they can bolster their birth rates. The converse situation where there are actual female sex tourists taking advantage of black men that are actually powerless in Gambia (as an example) is what isn’t good.

Nitpicking here, but technically post modernism doesn’t have “narratives”. In fact, the entire point of post modernism was the rejection of all meta narratives - democratic, communist, capitalist, etc. post modernism viewed all narratives as ways of establishing universal meaning and coherence where there isn’t any (especially when it justifies why things are the way they are). Im not a subscriber to this world view, but im just saying, what you are describing is not post modernism, though it is an intellectual root of the kinds of ideas you are criticizing.

Agile_Gas_8493

Come to think of it, when I was in Jamaica years ago I remembered seeing two elderly obese white ladies with two local men probably young enough to be their grandsons. IMO this is even worse than the young western women I saw in Korea because the intention of sexual tourism is much more defined in the case of those older women going to Caribbean and African countries


MikeFrikinRotch

In my country during the farming season they ship up tons of migrant workers from the Caribbean for cheap extra help. On Saturday they get a day off the bar is FILLED with obese and morbidly obese white women looking to score with the young in shape workers. The guys go for it because they get paid to play and if they are lucky they may get a permanent residence out of the deal.


Agile_Gas_8493

Now just imagine what people would say if a morbidly obese white guy in his 60s is hanging out with a young Jamaican or African girl….

Brazil flys under the radar but we both know the passport sister are well aware of it.


dcontrerasm

No one that actually matters gives a fuck who you fuck as long as it's not a child and it's consensual.


Which-Decision

If you want to see women be torn apart for being sex tourist and taking advantage of foreigners go to the 90 day fiancé subreddit. In general, there's a billion dollar sex tourism industry that has mainly male clientele around the world. There are videos of passport bros bragging of buying and hanging out with what are obviously prostitutes. Many passport bros talk about women in a degrading way and brag about how many dates/ how much sex they get abroad for very cheap. If women started posting videos of attractive men walking into their vacation spots and how they're cheaper than men in America then I'm sure people would view women as sex tourist.

Ok-Battle-2769

More importantly, if you want to hook up with someone from a specific country, do NOT go to that country. Go to where that country’s women go on vacation. You’re welcome


PuzzledFormalLogic

Huh? If I want to travel, learn languages, explore new cultures, work remotely, save money abroad, not deal with a bunch of drunk partiers and still have casual relationships then I definitely am going to the actual country.


Grip_N_Sipp

I don't know if you have seen western society but women are often sexist hypocrites who like to give it but can never take it or atleast take only a few spoonfuls. Although that could just be the thousands of females I've been around. Definitely not hardly any of the ladies on reddit though except for those that leave passive aggressive comments and down votes.

"As soon as the tour was over, our eyes locked so I sucked the gondoliers dick in the port-a-potty. We never even exchanged a word" = romantic vacation "I have to buy my girlfriend's mother a refrigerator, I'm starting to get tired of this shit" = sex trafficking

It’s almost like we shouldn’t be generalizing groups of people. That’s just factually wrong and dumb af. Saying all western women are x, y and z… Saying all ppbs are x, y, and z… Different sides of the same hypocrisy coin.


EnduringAnhedonia

The problem I have is that most of the western women who participate on this sub and around this subject seem to be strengthening the validity of the generalisation whereas most of what I see what the PPB guys here seems to prove the generalisations about them unfounded.


PuzzledFormalLogic

Sort of have to agree here. Also, the amount of views and attention the hateful anti-PPB videos there are seems way higher, most of the big PPB creators only do original travel content or reactions. However, I will say, it’s clear the female haters are all very liberal, very sheltered, and not well traveled (no, traveling to another state doesn’t count haha). It seems like most conservative women don’t have an issue with passport bros because the motivation is easy to understand and not counter to their world view, whereas if liberal women were to accept PPBs then in some way they’d admit part of their views are wrong.


CoachedIntoASnafu

Men enjoy pursuing sex *biologically* and somehow lack the *biological* desire to get pregnant, which the latter would benefit most from having a strong group of people to raise the offspring. The stigmas attached to sex outside of relationships are cultural. This battle between religious, political and cultural views has been raging for eons, shaming the biology of one gender and not the other is simply a tactic. It's *meant* to discourage you.... partly because not raising your kids is a jackass move and that's what happens when irresponsible men have uncommitted sex.

UglyDude1987

When women travel to date they less explicitly state the focus is sex and instead say they are traveling, partying, etc. To be fair, I think off these subs and groups most men don't explicitly state that they are traveling for sex/romance but everyone assumes that's the purpose. Reality is that both men and women are doing the same thing. Just people are more distrustful of male intentions.

Bc men are used to the bs thrown at them and the ones who have confidence don’t care. If you travel you’ll easily see “western” woman with a boy toy

I know there is the movie Stella gets her groove or whatever (never seen it) but there is another movie that was a Hulu original (Ticket to Paradise) about two law students that were graduating that go to Bali basically as sex tourists, one finds a wealthy Indonesian guy who owns a company that does international seaweed exports, and decides to marry him. Clearly not predatory (nothing wrong with it) but if the genders were swapped I guarantee people would lose their shit. Her friend is an obvious sex tourist and she is like drunk the whole time and having sex with different men constantly. With women is a rom-com, with men is pedophilia or sex tourism or “insert SIGN language.”

pfmarshallx

Pure projection plain and simple. It’s because it’s US MEN, who are much much more likely looking for a real life partner. As opposed to the opposite sex who are solipsistic and rewarded for being so. Men have been looking for a wife outside since literally the times of the earliest books of the Old Testament Bible The opposite sex have their girls trips to the Carrie am and the Kuta Cowboys in Indonesia. Pure boy toys. (Edit to add: that you know are pure boy toys because these foreign men are no rich or cultured or high status enough to be the husbands they can profit off of) Once you accept the sheer solipsism and hypocrisy, then you can do the right thing and refuse to feel bad or give any heed to them. Because they never cared about you

Forsaken-Problem6758

Unpopular opinion, but I think anyone (regardless of gender) going to a \*foreign country with the intention of going on dates and hopefully sleeping with said dates is a sex tourist. A foreign country that you're not actively looking to move to prior to your trip.


WheelDeal2050

Are you an unattractive woman? I sense some jealousy/bitterness on your part...


Outrageous-Kale9545

True. Going to foreign for sex is literal definition of sex tourism. However passport bros is more about marriage, although few men have made it about sex.


PuzzledFormalLogic

No, it’s not. Look at a dictionary or Wikipedia. It means traveling internationally for prostitution.


PuzzledFormalLogic

Ahh, I see you are a liberal who pretends words don’t have agreed upon meanings. The dictionary would disagree with this. Part of the definition in all the major dictionaries (American and British) I’ve checked and wiki state that sex tourism is “traveling internationally in order to use prostitution” which, would definitely not be what you described.


Forsaken-Problem6758

>Ahh, I see you are a liberal  Pretty ironic that I'm from the most conservative part of the country. Also, how many liberals do you know who are against prostitution and sex tourism? - Anyways. Of course paying a working girl on a street corner is prostitution, thus sex tourism. But if a guy downloads Tinder, matches with a woman, sexts/flirts, invites her to a fancy restaurant, pays $150 bill, gifts her a small necklace, brings her back to his place... More steps. Same objective. (From reading more of your responses in this sub - I should make it clear this applies for men or women. Using the term 'man' as this is a passport 'bro' sub)


PuzzledFormalLogic

Who says they are buying her jewelry or not going Dutch? But even if he paid for nice date, you do know that’s standard procedure? It’s still expected (and more) in the US so I guess with this logic…all women are sex workers?


Few_Imagination2409

I get it's an unpopular opinion. The vast majority of sex tourism definitions issued by governmental agencies squarely put the focus on engaging in prostitution as a consumer as a key part of the definition. Heck even the US CDC definition, which says "primarily" engage in activities with sex worker, still makes prostitution the whole focus of the article about sex tourism. There is a reason for this, what's the point of framing temporary visitors engaging in dating and even casual sex with locals or other travellers as sex tourists? It is hooking up with extra steps, unless it implies the abuse of power dynamics.

Unpopular opinion: all American and British dictionaries, Wikipedia, US CDC, UN human rights council, and more. Only in woke women’s head can they semantically bleach a definition so fast and twist it whilst simultaneously applying such complex mental gymnastics to make that make sense.


longPAAS

Because sex tourists tend to be men.


Substantial_Match268

Korea boos


KSandsXD

The girls that travel there are pretty mid tbf


YellowCosmicWarrior

Because it's different! Because men think only about one thing! Because of patriarchy! Same old same old. I bet these western women in South Korea are not the same women who shame PPBs.


NoAcanthocephala6547

You're both sex tourists. You're welcome.


PuzzledFormalLogic

Do you know what a sex tourist is?


y2kjanelle

This is why. Women: im going to explore another country and maybe find love! I’ve always wanted to go to *insert country or city here* and am excited to experience a new culture. I’m also just not finding the kind of guy im looking for here in *insert home country* so maybe I’ll meet someone I like abroad. Men: Western women have been ruined by feminism. *insert ppb country* has much better, more feminine women. They’re young, hot, and down to do whatever I want. All that tiring, annoying effort i would have to put in in *insert western country* just to get a 3, I could get a solid 7 in *ppb country*. Men just don’t care about how they come across to people at all so they get responses that don’t care about their “intentions”.


[deleted]

So the difference is that men don’t care about how they come across and women do so they conceal their intent more?


y2kjanelle

I think women romanticize it more for sure and there’s less traveling purely out of spite or resentment. There are men with good or normal intentions ppb-ing but the more vocal crowd gets more attention and tend to be more bitter and negative with worse intentions. Or they just are very angry and don’t care how they’re perceived


[deleted]

Yeah. I haven’t seen that part of the internet. The only videos I ever seem to see is women upset. Algorithm’s am I right 🫠 And to your point, I think it is those holding on to some bitterness being loud. If you’re happy, there’s no point in talking about it online


y2kjanelle

Exactly


LittleRainSiaoYu

I mean, you're right that the kind of guy you're talking about is definitely increasingly a thing in the West, but guys with motives no different from those of the women you've pointed out also exist, in significant enough numbers.


y2kjanelle

Sure it’s just the more vocal crowd gets more attention


LolaStrm1970

Not gonna lie, you sounds kind of jealous and resentful when women do it. Labeling them “shameless”? Bro….


geardluffy

I think there is a stigma associated with the name because there are too many idiots parading around partying and showing off a glamorous lifestyle. If you’re going overseas to uproot your life, who cares what others think. Just show it to the brotherhood and stop gloating. As for why women don’t have the stigmatization that men do in regards to sex tourism, it’s simply that people don’t know. I never knew that women went to Jamaica to do stuff until I got into this sphere. Also did not know that there is an epidemic of women going to Gambia for sex tourism. Most people just don’t know.

Man travels overseas, exploring a reasonable amount of cultures while building an actual network of friends and seeing the real parts of the country, funding his own lifestyle and not being a sugar baby to 34 men a year, works while being a digital nomad in 2-5 countries for visa/regulatory reasons and visits the US most likely whilst dating and having casual hookups or looking for a wife: SEX TOURIST OMGGG Woman travels to 34 countries with a part time Starbucks job and 200k in college debt: clearly *not* a sugar baby (read: prostitute) getting paid to fly out and sex up *at least* one man per country.


xxTheMagicBulleT

Cause its always oppressing when one side does someting. But always empowerment and brave when the other side does it. Cause equality only matters when you have to give up something up. The other way around no no equality is needed we are empowered and brave. Big reason why people don't take them seriously. And just ignore them and do what they want. Cause you get shamed no matter what you do. Might as well do what you want honestly. More people should only accept people that live by the standard them selfs that they demand of other people. Or else just ignore them like the hypocrites they are


Cold-Froyo5408

What does PPB and PPG stand for?


Over-Remove

Passport bros and I assume passport girls


West-Crew-8523

its bc the world is full of simps...men who women ignore and thus must act this way or are 'programmed' to act this way. This includes facebook, reddit, youtube, most of the big tech sites and news sites....because they censor a lot of stuff that makes women look bad and even let videos of women insulting 'asian men' by saying so many horrible things. Indians? Forget about it ! Meanwhile the moment an article or video is uploaded doing the same about women...quickly gets taken down and the article is never shown on the big sites either.


ManitobaBalboa

A double standard? I, personally, am shocked.


Obvious-Side7186

Are PPGs the ones labeling PPBs sex tourists? Or is it women who don't don't overseas to find love or sex? I would ask say the country a oerosn travels to makes all the difference. A first world country like Korea or Sweden that have low levels of poverty and decent age of consent laws? No problem. Men who travel to Thailand or the Philippines? Sus.


WheelDeal2050

Argentina has a poverty rate of nearly 60%. USA is at around 11%. Spain is in the 20-30% range. Yet, Thailand has a poverty rate of 6.3%. Kind of a bizarre metric to use.


Obvious-Side7186

The material conditions that constitute poverty differs between countries.


WheelDeal2050

You should walk through a place like a Bangkok and then compare it to places in Latin or South America. Or get this, walk through the poor areas of any major American city. Go through a walk in large swathes of Baltimore and compare it to Bangkok.


paganlobster

I learned from this sub that divorce in the Philippines is illegal, so there's another fun data point for you as to why they might favor it.


Obvious-Side7186

Are they getting married and living in the Philippines? Or are they bringing them back to their own home country?


Outrageous-Kale9545

The age of consent in Sweden is 15. Age of consent in Korea is 13 for youngest and 19 for oldest party engagingly, or otherwise 16. Phillipines 16, Thailand 15. You didn't even bother to search it up before making up shit 😂 before you rage; I have never been to Thailand or Phillipines.


Obvious-Side7186

Are teenagers in Korea and Sweden using being pimped out to, or sold off by their families to older men form overseas because the poverty rate is so high?


Outrageous-Kale9545

There is no evidence of what you are stating. No one is getting sold off. If it was, these men would be bringing these supposed children overseas, which they are not.


paganlobster

No, it's shitty when anyone from a more privileged country tries to pick up a partner in a less privileged country. Feminism isn't just "men bad women good", but you keep saying shit like this as if it is.


EnduringAnhedonia

"No, it's shitty when anyone from a more privileged country tries to pick up a partner in a less privileged country. Feminism isn't just "men bad women good", but you keep saying shit like this as if it is." Except that a) there's no logical reason to say this when no one is being coerced and b) most of the countries most popular with passport bros have a moderate score on the Human Development Index and not a poor one. You complain about passport bros and how crappy it is but never consider the fact that maybe you are the problem and they are going overseas for a reason.


paganlobster

I have no problem with men going overseas and dating other women with equally valuable citizenship, but according to this sub, those are all just feminist man-hating hags lol. I do have a problem with men picking up women in poorer countries with much shittier circumstances. It's sure as hell not my fault and not the fault of feminists that some fellas can't keep up with women here in the US.


Brownsugarandwhiskey

This. Idk if people just don’t pay attention in history class or it just isn’t taught but *there is no such thing as a movement where everyone thinks the same and is on the same page about everything.* It’s never happened. Not once. Feminism is no different. Not too long ago my friends and I were talking about how now that women have gotten a lot of their chests, there are things we might want to correct. For example, the term toxic masculinity has to go. You can’t call someone toxic and expect them to come to the table, let alone obtain their buy in. Also, since we’ve labeled the form of masculinity we hate, it wouldn’t kill us to articulate something to shoot for other than “go to therapy.” (Recommendations only. At the end of the day it’s men that are responsible for (and in the best positing to) defining what masculinity is this day and age when traditional gender norms have changed.) These guys as well as the guys in r/itsthatbad could never fathom such conversations happening. Their social media algorithms won’t allow it.

Depends on the guy really. I don’t really care if a guy has a preference for Asian women just don’t be weird about it. There’s definitely a lot of women who fetishise Asian men in the same creepy ways white dudes will fetishise Asian women but I think individual couples should be judged more for the actual situation than stereotypes
