Beyond the meme... what are male tears ? "Male tears" are not just any form of crying or genuine expression of vulnerability coming from a man. The concept of "male tears" refers to a very common practice amongst mysoginists in an attempt to undermine the legitimity of any feminist discourse. It consists of presenting cishet men as targets of an irrational feminist threat that would be coming after just any man out of pure and straight misandry. In reality, it is nothing more than a rhetorical strategy aiming at deflecting accountability and resisting change. In this piece, the protagonist is a young and passionate feminist preparing to launch a "molotov cocktail" made out of these male tears. In fact, they here appear to be extremely flamable. Used right, they can be returned right back to whoever weaponised them in the first place. This print is part of a limited edition. It was printed in Paris on fine art paper. Shipping worldwide.
