The house of a dreams!

Located in the hills of #Heraklion, #Crete, this project, designed by @mykonosarchitects, harmonizes with its olive tree-covered surroundings, using the site’s natural slope and slim shape as design guides. A 15-meter setback regulation and the elongated plot inspired a slender, wedge-shaped structure that integrates into the terrain.

The design features three walls following the land’s contours, enclosing living spaces and pathways. A staircase leads below ground to living areas, while an external staircase connects sleeping quarters to an open space with a pool at the structure’s tip, serving as its focal point. Large openings frame views, provide ventilation, and connect indoor and outdoor spaces, while shading ensures comfort.

Constructed with sustainable, on-site rammed earth, the building minimizes environmental impact, regulates indoor temperatures, and blends naturally with the landscape, ensuring durability and low maintenance.

I mean there are some cases where it actually is a concern. One example being a study that showed gay men go to college more than straight men. Speaking as a queer person myself it ignored the factor that gay people who DON’T go to college are more likely to be in conservative areas where they won’t tell any survey takers anything related to this. So the study potentially gets the proportions wrong. And even some other scientists were questioning this iirc.

Also, some people (not the study itself) were making the conclusion that it’s likely due to “toxic gender norms” on straight men, but this ignores the fact that gay men who DO go to college either DO have family support which is more likely to lead to educational success OR DON’T have family support in which case they need to work harder to get out. And also that gay people who are publicly out tend to be (not always) higher income starting families which is more linked to education success.

So there are some examples where this is not just a necessary concern about the validity of the study OR even important to ask before making your own conclusions about what it means.

Most of the “issues” you have about this study all sorta lead back to toxic gender norms though

[u/ThePrimordialSource → u/Comfortable-Try-3696]

Well, more specifically, I meant toxic masculintiy* was the term I saw used, even though it shouldn’t be called that since that term usually blames cis men for the issue

[u/Comfortable-Try-3696 → u/ThePrimordialSource]

That term is actually used to take the blame OFF of cis men, saying many issues they face or cause are societal and not indicative of something inherently wrong with cis men. Maybe you just didn’t understand the article

[u/ThePrimordialSource → u/Comfortable-Try-3696]

1. Not an article, it was some person claiming based off the study

2. 90% of the time I’ve seen it used it has the subtext of blaming it on the guy for having/adapting to those norms rather than the norm itself.

[u/Comfortable-Try-3696 → u/ThePrimordialSource]

Well the actual term is used to refer to a societal issue. People misusing it doesn’t change that

[u/ThePrimordialSource → u/Comfortable-Try-3696]

Definitions are descriptive, not prescriptive. I’m responding to the word how I saw it used, and especially in the case of that discussion.
