Nuel4:
a man who accepts an infidel as a wife is an aberration of natural and biological principles. No male is supposed to condole an unfaithful partner because it put him in a strong position to "father" a bastard who is not related to him

But women should be condole unfaithful men? Glad that's your principle. Live by it but don't degrade other men for taking a different route. It reeks of insecurity and yet again, I say this.... If you think Will Smith is innocent and haven't cheated throughout the marriage, then you are OYO. Everyone knows about the gay rumors with Duane Martin and the swinging parties they are both part of. It's no secret in hollyweird. They both fvck everybody and anybody. August for Jada or Margo/Duane for Will isn't their first rodeo at being unfaithful spouses. For all we know, it could be consensual as par rumors of an open marriage

molotov1:
W.S has gay affairs with men, I'm told.
So his wife is allowed to get her groove elsewhere.

They are both swingers. I believe it's an open marriage

Purplekush:
I couldn't believe it thou. Niggaarr effed up big time. Will Smith has put himself in the box of being a 'morally upright' man to be looked up to.

He forgot you could still be morally upright and be an Alpha Male with an abundance mindset at the same time. Dude was almost shedding tears on live TV TF!!!

He defined his masculinity his own way and expressed how he felt. That's a real man, not the one holding back because he thinks showing out and feeling pain is weakness. Before he's a man, he's a human being and besides, if you think Will is innocent, then you are OYO, Will is just smart not to get caught but rumors will live on forever. I admired how he handled it

davien:
It's not better bro.. simps always lose.
Smith through waving off his wife infidelity has told the world she can walk all over him (which she did).

His wife gave that small boy Ansa so much leverage that he said "will smith gave him his blessing to continue drilling his wife".

She lied about cheating on him years before, na the f**kboy cast her, even went as far as say he loves their family.

If he's not man enough to let her go then she'll eventually either leave him when she knows he can't do it himself or do something worse. It's rare if ladies who do such change, only time will tell.

Leonardo DiCaprio on the other hand dates ladies till they're 24/26 then shuffles them, no stress, no drama. Will deserved more than that woman.

Why are we jumping into conclusions like we know their lives. Do you think will is innocent for one minute? C'mon, we've all heard rumors of cheating from him not to even talk about the Player rumors about them both or the sex club rumors.

Yes oooo, we meet again...Lol

sunshineV:
when Nigerians finally understand a new word they'll use it till they abuse it. same way y'all learnt what "clout" is and couldn't keep it off your mouth now it's "simp"



OP be there be fooling yourself with freebasics

Lol, can you just imagine? Bullying a man because he chose compassion. The term "alpha male" always shows their biases, it shows they are insecure in their own masculinity so they bully anyone who doesn't subscribe to their version. No love at all.
Legionx, do you even think for one sec that will Smith or the others you mentioned have been completely faithful? then I guess Beyonce is a simp for forgiving Jay Z. Big ups to Smith for being a real man

luminouz:


Gay are feminine and toxic masculinity are related?

I don't agree but to each his own

Have a good one

They are not the same but yes, they are family. Toxic masculinity stems out of misogyny. The fact that most men with that trait see women as less than or weak so any man who acts like one isn't a man but weaker than a woman

And you too

TheSourcerer:
lol backfired? How did that happen

It was in my early primaries, we were given little dolls to care for our creative arts, the topic was caring for a child in the African way or some shit like that assignment. The reward was a huge doll from art class that we could shape into our own but we will each get one once we show written evidence that we truly cared for the little dolls.
Things ermm.... Got pretty weird between the doll and me and I was caught doing said "weird things" to the doll. Long story short, I failed the assignment followed with some ass whooping

This is uncalled for

He said his mind so he won't be misconstrued and you abused him, who is the toxic one now?

Besides, what Dafuq do you and palehair know about 'toxic masculinity'? So because I dont tell my dad how much I love him makes me one?
You niggas should take several seats back biko.

Sounds like some western feminazi shit to me...

To be honest, I also don't agree with the way he called him out, equating to assumptions without knowing the real you as one can have a civilized convo without resulting to insults. I'm sorry if I offended him but his comment still stands. If it were back in the day, the "no homo" slang wouldn't even spring, it will just be to compliment his look but he had to put that to make him feel straight and manly thereby leaning to the false stereotype that all gay men are feminine, that there is the genesis of toxic masculinity.

NoContract:


See how toxic masculinity culture ruined your life. Person like you no fit even tell your dad or your son you love him. Dunces on Nairaland.

I will say this and continue to say this. Toxic masculinity is a black man's downfall. Thanks for pointing that out. I also wanted to point that out

Olatara:
Did you read Things fall apart by Chinua Achebe. What you wrote up there ( hypermasculinity) happened to a character ( Okonkwo)

You are definitely right. Okonkwo's strive for masculinity so that he won't become his father and this drove him to suicide

tillaman:
no bro, I never subscribe to that belief of all gay men being feminine as a matter of fact I don’t have any thing against gay people I have met a couple of them though and most of them are huge guys on steroids and all that, we sit and drink smoke hookah and that’s it
I just don’t think I will like the idea of my boy doing that Ballet thing
It’s just me

Ok

hahn:


Tupac did ballet

There were multiple gay rumors of pac especially on his album cover where he wears a woman's sort of corset but again, what man in the entertainment world is free from gay rumors? I loved the fact that he defined his masculinity and told society to take an L despite the rumors

ehinmowo:


See how parents mislead their children. Ask yourself, why do you feel those things you mentioned are better than ballet? Because of your perceived monetary and social accolades.



There was a professor in faculty of Agriculture in my school those days. He drove the lastest cars. He was driving Hummer then. Doctors in the school were using him as example of how doctors do not have money. This man lived purely on agriculture. He was a consultant to many organizations. I am trying to imagine his parents feeling disappointed for reading Agriculture. And he did it at a time when it was very easy to be a doctor.

Not really about "money or social standards". Most people think ballet is feminine and weak (they have no idea how hard it is) thereby making the man weak instead judo will make him more masculine

tillaman:
in all fairness I really don’t wish to raise a gay or bisexual son, this dude you told me to look up was a gay, I am not homophobic but that’s just how I feel

You really should Google what homophobia is because that's homophobic. Kevin Hart said the exact same thing and his career almost paid for it. Yet again, it's ok, people should be allowed to be themselves than support in pretense but if you are leaning into the belief that all gay men are feminine, then that's where you are wrong. I know a lot of gay men who are even more hypermasculine than you, you won't even know they are gay.
Statistics shows that masculine gay men are five times more masculine than an average straight man because they feel they have something to prove

ololo12:
Nigga is you gay?

What does that have to do with anything? Not all men want to break dance and can we stop with these false narrative that only gay men take ballet classes. The first rule to being a man is doing whatever you want as long as no one gets hurt. If he's trying to please society, aka you people, and do what you people deem masculine then he's not a man but a puppet y'all wanna making his life miserable. Let men be their own men and not get shamed for it, women do it to us all the time, it's worse coming from your fellow man because you don't view him manly enough

harmbhrosz:


"That's you though"

You mean your child's happiness, talent, future, education, exposure, need etc should be all about you abi

I don't blame him though. He's just leaning into the stereotype of a black man. I really pity Black straight men because their masculinity is so fragile, any crack and it flakes and questions will follow regarding their sexuality. A black man is not suppose to smile, a black man isn't suppose to wear pink, a black man isn't suppose to cry or be emotional or even ask for a hug or help, a black man is suppose to be excellent in sports. any black man who don't into those descriptions is a sissy gay***, these were the words of my father. Thankfully, I left him before I became him leaning into the stereotype of "an angry black man" or all black men are lovers of pain and suffering. What am I saying? Black men are obsessed with masculinity that it's become toxic and it's getting worse by the day. Hypermasculinity does nothing but brings pain and heartache to the black man because it's literally a competition.

SmartKitty:
you think of male ballet dancers and you immediately think gay. Yet, we know it is a broken stereotype and Mikhail Baryshnikov proves it.
https://worldofwonder.net/bornthisday-mikhail-baryshnikov/

Anything that has to arts and creativity, people tag men who belong to those field gay. I get that the entertainment industry is a gay man's playground but people should stop leaning to it because it's a false stereotype

Gerrard59:


Intriguing.



I find this hypocritical. Are they not the ones who champion for transgender rights and whatnot on social media? Saying if black rights should be upheld so should transgenders' rights. Apparently, from your writeup, it seems most black people are homophobic.

Nevertheless, profound insights which could be applied where there's a substantial black population in developed countries.

Black people are generally homophobic, well there are exceptions but homophobia is rooted in our blood and sadly, it's not even our fault

LordReed:
My favorite creation mythos is by JRR Tolkien in the Silmarillion.

Ainulindalë ("The Music of the Ainur"[T 4]), takes the form of a primary creation narrative. Eru ("The One"[T 5]), also called Ilúvatar ("Father of All", first created the Ainur, a group of eternal spirits or demiurges, called "the offspring of his thought". Ilúvatar brought the Ainur together and showed them a theme, from which he bade them make a great music. Melkor – whom Ilúvatar had given the "greatest power and knowledge" of all the Ainur – broke from the harmony of the music to develop his own song. Some Ainur joined him, while others continued to follow Ilúvatar, causing discord in the music. This happened three times, with Eru Ilúvatar successfully overpowering his rebellious subordinate with a new theme each time. Ilúvatar then stopped the music and showed them a vision of Arda and its peoples. The vision disappeared, and Ilúvatar offered the Ainur the opportunity to enter into Arda and govern the new world.

Many Ainur accepted, taking physical form and becoming bound to that world. The greater Ainur became the Valar, while the lesser Ainur became the Maiar. The Valar attempted to prepare the world for the coming inhabitants (Elves and Men), while Melkor, who wanted Arda for himself, repeatedly destroyed their work; this went on for thousands of years and, through waves of destruction and creation, the world took shape.

Valaquenta ("Account of the Valar"[T 4]) describes Melkor and each of the 14 Valar in detail, and a few of the Maiar. It reveals how Melkor seduced many Maiar – including those who would eventually become Sauron and the Balrogs – into his service.

The books are such a great read. Melkor literally seduced morgoth, Sauron was like morgoth's second in command.
Brings back memories

Native-American Creation Myth: Dream A Little Dream.


“The woman and the man dreamed that God was dreaming them.”(imagine that )


The rest involves God singing and shaking his maracas, smoking some tobacco, being happy, but trembling with doubt. The woman and the man, on the other hand, dream that a huge, shining egg appears in God’s dream (still following?), one in which they are singing and dancing and basically causing a ruckus (hey, they were ready to be born, already).

They sang in quote




'I break this egg and the woman is born and the man is born. And together they will live and die. But they will be born again. The will be born and will die again and once more will be born. And they shall never cease to be born, because death is a lie.'



I'm guess these fellows are the 'reincarnation gang '

Kelly256:
he just had this type of charming attitude I cannot explain :p and he is really cute ! and him in the big bang theory just made him to be more attractive!

Well, can't blame y'all, it's your nature. Girls get more attracted to a man's emotional, it's the physical side for men

Kelly256:
i have a much bigger crush and I don't mind him being gay

Wow, i'm so confused, what do you girls see in him? He's actually my mum's wallpaper for 7 years in a role, it's kind of getting to an obsession

Exactly, see the humanity before his sexuality. Your personal life has nothing to do with your productivity in society. He's a productive citizen, why on earth will people reduce him to an animal because of who he is?

Jochabed:
But God himself calls your so called beliefs disgusting. So it's not about want you want, but what scripturally and morally right. And being gay doesn't fit in.

Have you heard about separation of church from state? We are practicing democracy not theocracy. Not everybody is a christian so don't force your religion on people

MrBrownJay1:
today people cant say what they feel without having some lobby coming after them.... as much as a trans man could definitely play the role, i dont think there is a problem for her wanting to play the part too.... or Scarlett Johanson (as it was 1st reported)

as Trevor Noah said, many trans/gay men are still in the closet and therefore we certainly cant force them to come out and be actors (if they are not ready to be out). yes there are many trans actors out there but they might not have the profile that the director seek.

expecting only a trans man to play the role of a trans man OR a lesbian to play a lesbian role is nonsense (IMHO)

They came for Scarlett's head last year. They are called actors for a reason, to act. Yet again, trans people should be allowed to audition for cis roles
