    Is that really an example of toxic masculinity? A LOT of Karens shrieked about having to wear them.

      It was the reason for some guys, for sure. The same crowd who refuse to wear safety glasses under any circumstances were pretty anti-mask.

        Safety glasses actually work, the face rags were security blankets. And I’m not claiming N95s did nothing, i know they helped. literal cloth rags don’t stop fuck all, they can’t even stop dust, ask anyone ever tried that method for shoveling grain.

      For a lot of people it seemed that way. Seeing a protest of Canadian truck drivers who didn’t want to wear the “face diapers” made it seem like they were acting on an outright masculine honor culture. It’s something that softened my previous view that Canada was living under an unlucky streak of bad authority. Now I look at them and think “well no wonder”.
