there’s nothing feminist about calling people ‘manchildren’ or ‘manbabies’ considering that word has a history of being used against disabled people in the ongoing infantilisation of us in order to deny us autonomy!!! stop it!!
This all day. Thank you for reminding us of ableism. Ugh.

Absolutely, both the infantilisation and the use of incontinence as a bad thing here make it really grossly ableist
Also, it implies that men act entitled because they’re immature and not because they’re doing exactly what society expects of them, especially because one of the most dangerous acts of male entitlement is grown men preying on teenage girls and thinking that teenage girls should be flattered by a grown man’s attention because grown men are somehow superior to teenage boys.
Possible alternatives :
“manfailures”
“yucks”
“emotional terrariums”
