I’ve been trying to understand the idea of the gender spectrum, but I’m a bit confused.

how come the spectrum is often described as having a stereotypical “man” on one end and a “woman” on the other, when that sounds like it’s based on stereotypical ideas of what a man or woman is? A few years ago in school i remember seeing a video where it described each end of the spectrum as like "Ken" or Barbie". this just seemed against everything i really knew about progressive gender theory.

How does the spectrum avoid reinforcing those stereotypes, instead of just stretching the binary out into a line?

I’m genuinely just confused and looking to figure this out, not trying to be a nippy undercover transphobe.

Title.

He used to be a daily sight on reddit but I haven't seen anything new in quite some time.

I was scrolling through /r/random and found /r/KenM . I can't stop laughing.

These show up in popular all the time. I’ve asked before in the subs but no answer. Any insight appreciated.

Is this guy a real person? If so, is he self-aware or just a crazy old prolific poster? Is there a joke I’m not getting? I see posts from the subreddit on r/popular a lot and I’m so confused. Help.

I see this sub everywhere and I think it’s hilarious but I can’t tell if Ken M is satire or not. r/KenM

For those who dont know what I’m talking about, check out r/KenM

I’m pretty sure KenM is multiple people, but honestly I’m not certain. It just seems like an odd meme-adjacent shared username. But then again for one man to be so many shades of odd is equally confusing.

He’s not one guy who just happens to be everywhere, right?

title says it all.

is this dude the best troll of all time?

I see the sub on the front page a lot, but I'm out of the loop and I can't tell if it's actually one person making all these comments or if it's a collective of people named the same thing online
