What exactly is positive masculinity?

100% disagree with gaylubeoil

Masculinity can be positive or negative. It is often selfish, but does not need to be. It can even be generous. That's why we call it "providing value". You become the fucking sun, showering others in your nourishment. Getting something back is not always a requirement.

"Positive Masculinity" I would argue is the willingness and ability to compete, to thrive, to lead and grow. Without an excessive need to also destroy, humiliate, cause pain, etc.

You do what you must to achieve your goals. If that means breaking a few eggs, well, that's life, do whatever is necessary. But if you break eggs just for fun, just because you can, and it doesn't really help with your goals.. you are toxic as fuck.

Positive Masculinity is term invented to counteract the Feminist term Toxic Masculinity. Both terms are retarded. Masculinity is biological like hunger. There is no such thing as toxic nor positive hunger.

All masculinity is inherently selfish just as all huger inherently selfish.

Obviously invented as a counter to toxic masculinity, however if I were to define what does positive masculinity mean, I'd say it'd be man focusing on becoming aware of his nature, acting to become one with it and thus maximizing his happiness. This maximization of happiness leads naturally to giving others. If you are very happy then you'll want to share happiness with others, that's what humans are programmed to do.

"Positive Masculinity" a foreigner see this like a faggot thing. It seems like "problematic heteronormative cis white male"
