Prof bemoans 'toxic masculine capitalism' in Disney film
Campus Reform ^ | November 31, 2017 | Toni Airaksinen

A professor at Florida International University recently argued that the Disney film Beauty and the Beast is rife with “toxic masculinity.”

Bryant Sculos, who teaches politics at Florida International University, argues in an academic journal article that Gaston and the Beast, the two male protagonists of the story, are emblematic of “toxic masculinity” in both the 1991 animated version of the film and the 2017 live-action remake, albeit in different ways.

Any man who utters the words “toxic masculinity” is... well...

totally gay.

...and probably flips his hair up a little (does not include bed head).

It has reached the point that whenever, On FR, I see the very word “PROFESSSOR”, my instant reaction is ,”NOW what stupidity is going to set me off?”
There are “TEACHERS” and Professors.
One spends their life seeing that their charges actually LEARN something.
The other spend their time aggravating thinking people.

One thing is certain in this life...that dweeb will NEVER EVER be accused of “toxic masculinity.” Looks like he has a very serious case of “toxic femininity.”

Ah, I don’t think this guy will ever have to worry about “toxic masculinity”. The only time he had to be concerned about toxic masculinity is when he got his lunch money taken from him in high school.

I think “Gastric femininity” would be more like it!

Lefties are cute when they use the latest buzzwords as invocations of magic spells. Since “toxic”, “masculine”, and “capitalism” are all Bad Things, one must assume this instance to be triple-bad. Beyond that, don’t look for a lot of meaning.

As a biological male, sometimes I am embarrassed that someone with my genitals “identifies” as the same gender as me. I wouldn’t want to force that individual on biological females, so maybe a 3rd gender is appropriate. Or maybe we can all choose to “identify” them as something else (i.e. a male dodo bird) /sarc
