clavicular is a great example of how autistic boys and girls are socialized differently
Im a female who has lately been deep-diving into the manosphere and just discovered that Clavicular, one of the "leaders" of the looksmaxxing movement (a prevalent theme in the manosphere) is autistic. and although he has clearly problematic viewpoints and behavior. i've realized that it is deep-rooted in his autism and wanting to be accepted but still struggling immensely with social situations. he is a very extreme example of how gender affects the way our neurodivergence is "treated." this is not gender wars but something that many people speculate.
i've seen behaviors similar to Clavicular's (but less extreme) that are mostly prevalent in men with autism. by this i mean that he very bluntly insults people based on looks and sees the world in black and white--and a hyperfixation on sex-appeal and viewing women as objects. i think his social struggles have driven him to extremes. while women with autism do struggle with some of these things, there was a greater emphasis on correcting our social behaviors, telling us to be respectful and such--which is on some level intervention that has helped us. because for some reason being blunt and degrading women has been accepted in men (whether autistic or not) which has allowed Clavicular to go to such extremes. and i am fully convinced that if he had been born a girl he would not be that way. honestly i mourn his character development because i just think he didn't receive enough attention for his autism struggles growing up. thoughts?
