Reject the slave label masculinity

I am not a fan of masculine gender role crap. A lot of men, though, feel identified with the label, and feel attacked when it's attacked. We've also been completely indoctrinated in it and punished our entire lives for stepping out of the masculine box even slightly. You have men beaten, abused, abandoned and publicly shamed and ridiculed just for a moment of vulnerability. Feminism turned on us and became one of the biggest enforcers of traditional masculine gender roles. It's bleak. Of course most men are going to be masculine.

I think we'll get farther objecting to obligatory masculinity. We need social acceptance and space in society for men of diverse personalities, who aren't necessarily conforming to a masculine archetype. I focus energy on speaking up for, defending and protecting non-masculine men, who are absolutely being ruthlessly oppressed, but without implying men who have any typically masculine traits are bad or toxic for it, or that being a good person means being feminine - especially when femininity is so often also clearly toxic and abusive.

I wish we could just be friends and empathize with each other.

The label "masculinity" is unhelpful to men and only helps enslave them for women's benefit

Masculinity is not a slave label, there is a brigade of these idiots pretending to be men’s right allies, but they aren’t.

This happens in waves everyone once in a while and we should stay true to our values.

Being masculine isn’t a bad thing, being a toxic piece of shit is, and there is no intersection where these two meet, you are either one or the other.

Don’t fall for this nonsense
