Predator Mask Theory

A radical feminist observation that some men aren’t actually “good” — they’re just good at hiding their predatory impulses. The mask of civility, respect, or gentlemanly behavior isn’t a sign of conscience or morality; it’s a costume worn to avoid getting caught by the cops, society, or embarrassed friends.

Underneath, those impulses often revolve around women and girls who are far too young to consent.

Radical feminism recognizes this as part of a larger pattern of male violence against women: society praises the mask while ignoring the predator, allowing harm to continue. Predator Mask Theory exposes how male “respectability” is performative, but women’s safety is not.

“Brad swears he respects women, but when age laws came up, he literally froze. Predator Mask Theory, ladies — and yes, it’s horrifyingly consistent.”

Mask fines

Another way for authorities to make money, kind of like charging somebody with trespassing for going to a store and shopping (because they didnt have on a mask), and nothing more.

Mask fines are another way to collect money from somebody you want to put out on the street. Telling people something will end quickly is a good way to condition them into being compliant robots for when the next orders and guidelines come out, that way theres no fighting, people think it's normal because it has been for a weeks or months, and they're told it's the new normal. Theres nothing normal about a group/entity trying to take control of everyone else's lives, that's a step toward a totalitarian government, not a step toward reopening or freedom. A good way to take freedom from people is to keep telling them that they will be free only after they keep doing what you tell them to do and complying with your orders, and that it will end. If they compromise something else, if they give the group trying to take control something else, they will get something in return in the end. There's nothing waiting for anyone at the end, any more than theres anything waiting for a cow at a slaughterhouse.

Mask rules

A TV viewing audience is not your mother, so if you're a reporter on the news, why don't you tell your mother which businesses and people broke the stupid fuckin coronavirus rules?

Reporter- He/she/they broke the mask rules and my mommy is not the governor.
Authority figure (governor)- We will make sure they get punished, don't worry baby.

Bisexual mask

Coming out as a faggot when people just thought you were bisexual.

I'm not bisexual and I resent being called bisexual when I really only like one sex, and that is dudes. I had on a bisexual mask, I thought I could keep hiding who I really was.

Mask-charades

Using accentuated hand gestures to convey what your saying because you’re wearing a Covid mask.

The bartender and I were both wearing masks and she could couldn’t hear me over the music so I had to figure out how to sign gin and tonic in mask-charades.

mullet mask

A respiratory mask that is incorrectly worn such that the user's nose is not covered, defeating its purpose. This is a play on the hairstyle term "mullet", as in: "It's may be all business below, but there's a coming-out party upstairs!"

Even outdoors, the infection quickly spread due to all of the mullet masks.
