I'm starting to wonder if stupidity is part of masculinity.
Throughout life I've heard "men are so stupid" and reasons men are stupid are given, and quite valid. But then I realized I don't do those things, so that's even one less masculine thing I identify with.
Masculinity is what you make of it. Stupidity ain't part of it.
Gender heteronormativity is a toxic mentality that people need to dismantle their association with.
I absolutely love going against the arbitrary cultural definition of "masculinity". It's absolute bullshit that just trains men to be sex obsessed idiots who think like a stereotype of a neanderthal.
Traits generally viewed as masculine don't fit well with a modern society. Manliness is really lame.
To care for others over yourself? To strive desperately for a better future? Bravery in the face of certain defeat? To fight (perhaps futility) for the cause you know is right?
"Manliness" is never out of style my friend, it's just the insecure machismo suckers pushing their former of "manliness" that craps is the concept!
No, but the hatefully violent form of stupidity, maybe. 🤷
