Do better Hexbear smdh soviet-huff

Edit: I am currently balding folks, it's happening right now. It's still not misandry if someone makes fun of me, even if it's not very nice and hurts my feelings

It's not misandry because that isn't really a thing, and I get that 'bald' is sort of a political shorthand in some corners of the internet, but I started going bald in my teens and in my experience not only is verbal abuse completely accepted in normal society, but many people feel entitled to slap your head, hard, and then act like you're the one who's out of line when you tell them to fuck off. And I'm talking about young adults here, not just teens.

I've... never heard about that, is it about skinheads or something?

"mald" is a portmanteau of mad and bald

It was a thing on UK Left Twitter, particularly during the Corbyn years and their aftermath. I think it was just supposed to describe a certain stuffy, fragile male ego typical to serious centrist media types. It was that and calling everyone 'nonce'. Incredibly stupid cultural moment in hindsight.
