Welcome to c/sociology!

Sociology is a social science that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life. In simple words sociology is the scientific study of society. It uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order and social change. While some sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes and phenomenological method. Subject matter can range from micro-level analyses of society (i.e. of individual interaction and agency) to macro-level analyses (i.e. of social systems and social structure). Read more...

Just a, maybe naive, question from a noob to this kind of topic, but I wondered what Elon Musk once did on a stage, holding a chainsaw as if it was Excalibur. Then later I stumbled upon the Milei incident ~(from 2023)~ and just now I came across a promo for gardening equippment (see the added pic above) and what was placed prominently their? Not gloves or a hosepipe, secateurs or a lawn mover, but a chainsaw and the phrase "STIHL One-Man Power Chain Saw since 1959" ~[Emphasised by me]~

Is it just me, correlation, or is this some new kind of … of masculinism or the like and if so: do you think, that it is promoted by some peer groups or rather happens "naturally"?

And last but not least: If this is the wrong place to ask such questions, then please feel free to just remove my post. 🙂

That I take for sure. Yet politicians and wannabe CEOs using that still irritates me as well. Thanks for the reply.
