    This is not going to be received with nuance in “men’s liberation” (as a man I scoff at the very concept) but Happy Valley Oregon is in Clackamas County just southeast of Portland and even though they are a Portland suburbs they position themselves explicitly as an anti-Portland in terms of gender expectations. So you’re going to get a pretty skewed picture of what boys are expected to be, compared to even just literally a couple miles northwest in Portland. They went and interviewed the sons of the maga dudes who think everyone in Portland is a weak soyboy antifa cuck or whatever, of course those kids are going to say that they value traditional signs of masculinity and feel like they can’t cry when they are sad.

          Not who, what. Patriarchy. Gender roles. Toxic masculinity.

          Or you just look at the posts in this community and look for a theme, but I guess that’s too much for you.

            They’ve been banned for their comments. In the future please do not hesitate to report that kind of behavior.

      Has the city council released some statement on the matter? Where can I read the city’s position on this?
