Why isn't jerking off more valorized as an easy dopamine hit that's also literally good for you?

Feminism suffers from being very broad. There are a lot of conflict viewpoints living under the umbrella of feminism and people saying that their interpretation is the correct one. And there ate a bunch of waves of feminism too, each one a bit different.

So there are absolutely feminists who are anti male. They may be a loud fringe minority, but they're there.

I won't disagree that there are definitely anti-men feminists, but there have also been anti-bi feminists, and currently there are anti-trans feminists. But none of them are worth discussing when talking about feminism as a whole because they really don't apply. Those are ideologies that should be tackled independently, and should not be considered representative of the movement in general.

But I'm talking about mainstream feminism in the public discourse right now. Think the "Barbie" movie. Male sexuality is very clearly depicted a inherently dangerous which is core mainstream feminist belief.

Did you actually watch the movie or just regurgitating a viewpoint someone else claimed the movie was about.

I haven't seen the movie. How does it depict make sexuality as inherently dangerous?

Not to mention Ken's attraction to Barbie nearly destroys Barbie land and is revealed to based on selfish social climbing and his broken psychology.

Barbie is immediately sexually harassed several times upon first interacting with human men.

Also see "Wonder Woman '84" for more examples which was directed by a feminists with explicitly feminists ideology.

I'd like to point out that toxic masculinity is not the same thing as male sexuality. One can be criticised without the other being condemned.

Ironically though, I could see how a misogynist might conflate the two.
