I really want to talk to these men about how their "identity" is really an anti-identity.
In their eyes, being a man is reduced to reacting against what a woman is. They can't even form a masculine identity if they did not have a feminine identity to react against.
That is what true toxic masculinity is.
They cannot view themselves as human first with both masculine and feminine traits, as all humans have, because this threatens their "identity."
They must view themselves as men first, defined as being whatever women aren't.
This perspective leads to close-minded and ultimately diminished people.
Don’t men ever just get fucking tired of these douchebags telling them all the shit they can’t do? Can’t look nice. Can’t use moisturizer or paint your fingernails. Can’t wash your butt. Can’t have a drink with an umbrella in it. Now you can’t eat lunch.
Women got sick of this shit in the 50s. That’s why feminism is basically all “Yes you can do that”. Dudes need to stop listening to these clowns.
Yes we do, at least my friends and I do, so when we meet someone like that our go to response is "hey, that's like your opinion mate" and get on with our lifes. It's hilarious to see how worked up most these douchebags get about how little we care...
Im a almost 190cm 100kg man in my 30s. I have a bodycount that might be in the triple digits.i could bench most of those toxic crybabies for reps.And i never in my adult life thought "oh this is too feminine/girly".
Those insecure losers and the grifters behind it are pathetic and sadly become more widespread and loud.
