@RealCalvin1 We are bailing out farmers in Arkansas so that the peanuts don’t rot in the ground with federal funds. How is that not communism distributing my wealth and we took a percentage of a chip manufacturer. We already have communism with the Republicans.
Most people know about the Glass Ceiling.
Far fewer talk about the Glass Floor, or the Glass Wall.
In his provocative essay The Glass Floor and the Glass Wall, published in New Male Studies, Tim Goldich asks us to look not only up at society’s most powerful positions, but down at its most dangerous and undesirable ones:
https://t.co/K5nJ3ZsjIz
The same social structures that historically constrained women’s rise to the top, Goldich argues, also helped insulate women from the very bottom: mine shafts, prison cells, foxholes, homelessness and hazardous labour.
Look at the whole pyramid and a vastly different picture emerges...
Men have disproportionately occupied both extremes: the boardroom at the top, but also the battlefield, prison, dangerous workplace and street at the bottom.
Goldich captures the asymmetry memorably:
“For every one CEO there have been many POWs.”
Then there is the Glass Wall: men looking into a world of intimacy, vulnerability, home, family, parenting and belonging, while traditionally being expected to earn their value through providing, protecting, performing and achieving.
Goldich’s argument isn't that women have had it easy. It's that removing the ceiling while ignoring the floor and wall cannot give us the whole story of gender equality...
Perhaps his most powerful observation is this:
“The opposite of love isn’t hate: it is indifference.”
We readily notice the small number of elite men at the top. But how often do we notice the vastly greater number of men carrying burdens at the bottom?
The image says it beautifully: "never settle for less".
But also remember who makes it possible for you to have more...

@ShippMedia@JohnStrandUSA The Republicans took control of a percentage of several manufacturing companies like chip manufacturers, and are offering bailouts to farmers in Arkansas with Fed funds that is all redistribution of wealth and republican policy what’s the difference from Communism?
@JohnStrandUSA Libertarian because there is always a third choice. But I’m not voting for a republican unless they magically come back to work and get a bunch of shit done.
@DrSamuelGregg@JDVance Never have we imported cheap labor to replace labor here. We’ve got a nation of young men, not working. Get rid of your stupid HR departments and start hiring and training people at 16
Almost half of our counties have no maternity care or access to a hospital, but we’re gonna tax our neighbors and Missouri and Texas and Mississippi for federal dollars to pay for our health rather than get our own budget together. Campaigning don’t vote for communism.
Transforming rural health care starts long before a patient walks through hospital doors.
Because of President @realDonaldTrump, @SecKennedy, and @DrOz, these RHTP grants will strengthen rural health care from the ground up for Arkansas families and communities.

@SarahHuckabee@realDonaldTrump@SecKennedy@DrOz What rural health? Almost half of our counties have no access to a hospital especially not a maternity ward. Even some of the cities are closing their hospitals Jacksonville doesn’t have one anymore. And so we’re gonna tax our neighbors in Mississippi and tx to pay for it?
@SarahHuckabee And you make the farmer a slave to the debt holder that is biblical. Why not give them no taxes on their property or diesel fuel or give them enough for their peanuts to hire help
@Jeff18842163@willie6850 People have been where the fuck are you? We’ve been talking about this for years. I know three out of work Male teachers right now. They are going to H1b people. Over American men, some of us have known it for a decade.
@Alice_MiaX Anything with two heads is a freak. Somebody has to be in charge if you’re the better financial manager great but women are responsible for 80% of consumer debt.
@TheICHpodcast I’m sure facts like this have no bearing. What does a young man have to look forward to? There’s a guy doing social experiments on dating apps right now sharing on x where women throwing it at guys as long as they’re 6 foot. Cheaters married no job no matter. 100s Normies 0
