Male Feminist Ally: Anorexia is bad for girls, great for boys

Reason continues to cover itself in shame, then glory with two story pairs:

• “Incels Are the Product of an Incomplete Sexual Revolution” (“The sexual industry in the broadest sense hasn't matured enough yet to cater to the myriad and diverse needs of lonely single people”),
• “Tom Wolfe Is Dead but the 'Me Decade' Lives On (and That's a Good Thing),” according to whom?, 
• “The Intellectual Dark Web and Its Heretics,” wherein Reason comes near to Vox Day's tone on Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin et al. (i.e., not-so-dark and a lot more Left than you may be lead to believe), and
• “2 New Court Decisions Are Quietly Eliminating Californians’ Second Amendment Rights”

But let’s take a look at the feminist ally over at the New York Times: “Welcome to the Age of the Twink.” First, in the name of Good Journalism, we are reminded of a (very hot) gay male sex scene in a movie (I can only assume). Then, we are reminded that Straight Males Acting Gay Is The Second Best Thing Ever, just under the latest revelation that Some Guys Are Twinks.

We are then treated to some shabby etymology (“it’s a vulgar riff on the cream-filled Hostess snack...”) No, it is not vulgar (though the pun is definitely there), it is exactly analogous to the slang term “cream puff,” only in a milieu of gay males instead of soft-touch high school teachers.

We are then treated to some twink fan-girling before the Weighty Conclusion:

Female body types have always cycled in and out of style

So have male types. Woman have very definite tastes in male beauty, and fads have come and gone. (Remember Camille Paglia raving over “the narrowness of Cary Grant’s pumps”?)

alternatives to the ideal of imposing [male] physicality have usually been ignored or lampooned.

Hundreds of thousands of male nudes of every shape adorn art museums, but the author may not be aware.

But as women continue to use their voices to undo that legacy of toxic masculinity

These twinks, after all, aren’t just enviably lean boys or the latest unrealistic gay fantasy, but a new answer to the problem of what makes a man.

Oh, unholy Hell, I could unpack this for months. But to start: no, they are no part of any answer on “what makes a man” except, “a temporary stage on some guys’ paths to manhood.” Yes, some of them will still be beanpoles when they are fifty but most of them will not. (Where do they report to turn in their Numale ID cards? And will we gather outside Twink HQ chanting “Carousel! Carousel!”)

Isn’t “unrealistic” the very definition of “fantasy”? (Not all gay share this fantasy and wow, that was insulting.) And “enviably lean boys”: if you swapped the sexes in this article, feminists would REEEE!! themselves to death in the rush to accuse you of promoting anorexia. (And if you admire a fit woman with a nice layer of subcutaneous fat, you're a “beach body ready” fascist.)
