What is the Anti-Social Social Club?
You ever heard about this term?...... it is that paradoxical vibe where everyone’s talking about how they’re disconnected from the world, yet they're online, posting selfies and thoughts 24/7, doom scrolling just like me on Instagram, it is okay to doom scroll & cut off from the world sometimes but

Cancel Culture vs. Accountability: Are we really

You have seen it everywhere—Twitter mobs with their revenge trending hashtags, Instagram outrage on comments section saying cancel her or cancel him, because in 2010 this person has commented something bad so cancel him now in 2024, or TikTok trends where people are either being cancelled or “held accountable” for something they said or did. But here is the million-dollar question: Are we getting it right, or is this a toxic trend that we need to rethink & redo?

The Rise of Cancel Culture

Let us talk about cancel culture for a minute, especially for

Take, for instance, the cancellation during the Met Gala of

Yes, cancelling should be done for the right & correct reasons & only to the ones who have no chance at redemptions, something like Diddy do it?

The Problem with No Redemption

Here is the thing: accountability is necessary. But

I mean, are we all saints?

The Accountability Disconnect

Now, do not get me wrong—accountability is KEY.

Look at how quickly people jumped on Elizabeth Olsen, Chloe Bailey, Pete Davidson, Selena Gomez, and Hailey Bieber, for something that did not quite warrant the massive backlash they received.

what is the real goal? Should the goal be about punishment, or should we be encouraging people to do better? & be better?

The Line Between Cancel and Accountability

If we are cancelling people for minor mistakes or misunderstandings, aren’t we just creating a

Recent Examples—Are We Getting It Right?

Let us bring it home with some examples, shall we? Kathy Griffin, Sharon Osbourne, Ellen DeGeneres, Ellie Kemper, Jimmy Fallon, and Chrissy Teigen all have faced the wrath of social media

Remember Janet Jackson had a wardrobe malfunction during the Superbowl? Both Janet Jackson & Justin Timberlake apologies, the public called it a “nipplegate” ! CBS, MTV and the NFL all apologised the very next day, But it was a far bigger nightmare for her than for Timberlake, something he acknowledged during a 2006 interview with MTV, when he said he probably received 10 per cent of the blame that critics hurled at them, citing gender and race as factors for the disparity. We live in a world where cancel culture can feel like it is thriving off outrage. But can we learn

Resilience Under Pressure: Men as Leaders and Protectors

Stepping away from purely physical contributions, we see men traditionally taking on the role of protectors and decision-makers under pressure. Think of firefighters rushing into burning buildings, soldiers on the front lines, or first responders during crises. There is a cultural and psychological element to the masculine role in protection and defense that has shaped society's expectations.

These roles often require individuals to act under extreme

For a long time, society has been structured in a way that encouraged men to step up as providers and protectors, and that traditional sense of responsibility is still relevant today. Even though we are working toward a society where both genders can comfortably share these roles, the intrinsic drive men must provide for their families and communities remains a powerful force. Men are critical to the growth and development of families, and their presence provides stability, structure, and support that positively impacts the lives of those around them.

Now, in the modern dialogue, there is a narrative that has

It is worth considering that society does not benefit from

We are at our best when we embrace the contributions of both men and women. The reality is that we need each other. It is about honouring the strengths each gender brings without diminishing the other. Men’s contributions to society—from the physical and protective to the innovative and nurturing—play a fundamental role in building and sustaining the world we know today. And as we move forward, acknowledging and celebrating these contributions will only help us build a stronger, more balanced world where everyone’s role is respected and valued.

In the end, men are integral to the fabric of society. Their

Countering the “We Don’t Need Men” Narrative

In today’s age, the phrase “we don’t need men” has taken on

The biological, psychological, and even cultural distinctions between men and women create a complex tapestry of roles, responsibilities, and contributions. While modern narratives focus on self-sufficiency, there’s strength in acknowledging that we are stronger together. It is not just about survival; it is about flourishing as a society, embracing the roles that each person brings to the community.

The masculine energy, in a way, contributes a certain drive,

Reimagining Modern Feminism

Feminism is a powerful and necessary movement, advocating for equal opportunities, rights, and respect for women. But feminism was not meant to diminish the value of men—it was intended to balance the scales. The narrative of “not needing men” deviates from feminism’s original vision. True equality celebrates contributions across the spectrum of gender, acknowledging that while our abilities may overlap, our strengths also diverge in ways that create balance.

Men have supported and empowered women’s progress in ways that are not always recognized. Look at the men advocating for gender equality, the men who stand as allies in female-led movements, and the fathers, brothers, and friends who encourage women to rise. Dismissing men’s roles would mean overlooking countless individuals who actively work towards a more equitable world.

Healing Begins with Accountability

Here’s the thing: healing is an inside job. And the first

People who are hurting need to give themselves permission to unpack that backpack of pain. Whether it’s through therapy, self-reflection, or just the honest work of facing their wounds, healing takes courage. It’s not a quick fix, and it’s often messy, but each small step chips away at the walls they’ve built.

Breaking the Cycle

When hurt people choose to break the cycle, they not only free themselves but also those around them. They learn to trust again, to communicate without hidden barbs, and to love without conditions. It’s a journey, sure, but one that brings real freedom. Imagine going from a place of constant self-protection to actually connecting with others, to letting their guard down and embracing genuine intimacy.

In a world where we’re all a bit bruised and battered,

So, the next time you encounter someone who’s lashing out, remember that there’s a story there—a story that may be full of hurt, but also one with the potential for healing. And maybe, just maybe, we can all be a little gentler with each other as we navigate our individual journeys, carrying our pasts but not letting them dictate our futures.

So grab a coffee, get cozy, and maybe wear a little armor, because this ride goes through some real-life rough patches.
