This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Rules
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
Be productive
Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.
Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:
- Build upon the OP
- Discuss concepts rather than semantics
- No low effort comments
- No personal attacks
Assume good faith
Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.
No bigotry
Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.
No brigading
Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

Homophobia is literally beaten into men. Not all men obviously, but we shouldn't be surprised when some men act irrationally around wearing pink.
I haven't read the article though because of the pay wall.
Eh... Hot pink was very popular among males and females alike in the 80's. I wasn't even aware that they make hunting gear with hot pink instead of orange, and a lot of other people probably aren't aware either. Besides that, they'd need to do a bunch of field testing to see how the deer react to it before any serious hunters would consider it. Even with field testing, there are a lot of hunters that don't want to wear orange.
This headline could be re-written as "Additional colors approved for visibility while hunting in select states", but that doesn't have conflict built into it, which generates clicks and engagement.
As a former hunter, I was intrigued, so I did a bit of searching. Most of the articles suggested that the testing had been done and that hot pink might actually be superior to blaze orange. It's supposedly more visible to humans and less visible to the main big game animals.
Time to go get some free T-Mobile swag for use as hunting attire!
Just be careful out there! Apparently bears have vision comparable to humans, making hot pink more visible to them than blaze orange.
Firefox in desktop mode, click the Immersive Reader icon next to the URL bar. it strips out script bullshit and just lets you read the article.
