aye yo toaster while I probably agree with your sentiments more than anyone here, your decision to bring up the concept of stats without bringing up the number of men occupying prisons relative to women might sting ur ass
I definitely agree with Atari and Wines on this record being a lot more tongue in cheek than this discourse is probably making it out to be. A lot of it seems to be very understandingly anecdotal even if there is an underlying perception/understanding (pick your poison) of something more "cultural" or w/e

Honestly Boys Will be Boys is so lame that I had to switch gears entirely before it was over. Seasons Greetings is cool but it’s the only track that stands out among that first half

Political is one thing, but these songs are so lyrically on-the-nose topical and predictable that it reads like a Huffpost piece. By the time I got to Boys I was rolling my eyes at almost every line.

I somewhat agree with you Vanne, but the songs are good enough that I can look passed the shotty lyrics.

i like the lyrics, it's not like the album is taking itself that seriously, either. It's supposed to be snarky, not a think-piece jeeeeeesus.

yeah these lyrics are good, it's pop rock it's okay to be on-the-nose. Just because they're "political" (although they're more just socially conscious) doesn't mean they're bad.
I'll take this kind of on-the-nose over say the 1975's version of on-the-nose any day. One of the biggest strengths of this album is its juxtaposition of sunny pop and anger. Especially since the lyrics are clearly personal and not just about society at large.

There's personality and experience in these lyrics, they're great

I'm late to this discussion around toxic masculinity and whatnot, but for me (as a white, American male) it was integral to notice what I internalize in the broader societal conversation around whiteness or maleness. Anger is almost always a secondary emotion, so when I'm upset by some accusation of "toxic" masculinity (which usually isn't directed at only me), what is it that I'm actually angry about?
I discovered I was internalizing a lot of the language, i.e. I am toxic, I am a problem, I am dangerous, instead of listening to the stories of women and people of color. So then I'm feeling this shame, which I don't like, and I get angry. I still sometimes get angry. But I'm better able to listen well and acknowledge hurt and even recognize some of my own patterns that are dismissive or, God forbid, deeply hurtful.
And as always, it's probably important not to establish any straw people in this debate, on either side. People are not simply their arguments. They are amalgamations of their experiences, beliefs, hurts, joys, and all of it. That means it's complicated.
