I don't think you do know what it is, and I don't think being queer inherently imbues you with that knowledge. Queer Theory is a philosophy (or theoretical framework) about language (as with all postmodernist philosophy). It's not a "study", and while queer people can be a subject, it's not its primary object. Furthermore, a book written by two liberal scholars is not a "far right nonsense book". --- Why do people in…

Or perhaps, I've taken queer studies class in college and know more about it than someone who read a book that's pushing an agenda. --- Why do people insist on taking hard positions on a topic despite only having read propaganda about the issue?

Then perhaps you weren’t paying attention in class.

Yep. A bunch of unemployed and "unempowered" men sitting around leads to them thinking things like: "Maybe we shouldn't be so cooperative anymore."

Hate to break it to you, but they're already in the building. They renamed the "Department of Defense" to the "Department of War", told everyone there are no rules in war except who has the most guns wins, and then proceeded to bomb boats, invade Venezuela, send troops into American cities, and invade Iran, while eyeing Cuba and Canada and Greenland next.

The whole manosphere problem shows that with correct leader you can forge your own army.

How does it show that? Do you have any real-life examples of a manosphere leader legitimately challenging an incumbent government apparatus?

Does the current administration not fit the bill for you?

The job itself caters to the natural disposition of women much more than men. That said, having a some male nurses in every hospital to me is mandatory. You need men in those teams for various reasons. But overall the job caters to women. I also believe the number of female primary care physicians recently surpassed men. Or at least in Family Medicine, or something like that.

> The job itself caters to the natural disposition of women much more than men. Imagine saying that about, I dunno, the field of computing.

Sure, let's do it:

"Sitting in front of a computer geeking out about code, engineering, and electrical signals, caters much more to men than women."

And that's a fact. Women prefer relational jobs.

how? i dont think it caters to anyone particularly. in my experience its a quite physical job where, education being equal, caters toward motor skills, endurance, and strength. i think historically women were in nursing because they didnt fight in war, then the next generation saw nursing as a viable career for women repeat repeat repeat

It is quite a physical job, and nowadays very exhausting. Besides the play on the name itself, "nursing" (which only women can do, naturally), the general aspects of taking care of a person the way nurses are required to, caters more to the natural motherly nature of women.

There's always leeway to what I'm saying though. I'm generalizing.

"The job itself caters to my personal ideation of women much more than men."

No, it's common sense, nature/biology-based facts about women (XY). It's like saying females do just as well in the field of battle as men.... no, they don't. Or women becoming plumbers, electricians, oil-rig workers, constructions workers, brick laying, road maintenance, operating heavy and loud machinery, etc, etc. Jobs obviously more for men than women.

Are you seriously implying the entire administration is a manosphere army?

I'm implying that Trump is the paragon manosphere avatar, and his administration is filled with little versions of him. The purpose of the entire administration is to challenge incumbent government apparatuses (it opened with DOGE which broadly did precisely that, they reoriented the DoD from defense to committing war crimes, they took over DOJ and turned it into a personal law firm for Trump, etc.) for the benefit of Trump.

The men in his cabinet like Hegseth and Kennedy try to appeal to the testosterone laden (and deficient) crowd. Women like Bondi and Noem also tried their best manosphere impression, but of course in classic manosphere fashion, both women were booted out of the cabinet first.

To the extent that the military believes, as its leader does, that they are not operating under "stupid" rules of engagement, and their purpose is "maximum lethality" with a policy of "no quarter" for adversaries, the US Military is currently a defacto manosphere army.

In your view, what would a manosphere leader legitimately challenging an incumbent government apparatus look like?
