Yall ever notice there’s these weird discussions about masculinity?

Especially when it comes to heteronormative “standards” it kinda dont really make sense when you think bout it.

We had years and years of peoplw beggin men to open up and start being open with their feelings and emotions now we “sassy”

It’s almost like, lower down the toxic masculinity but not TOO much that I start to see you lesser than a man. But be progressive in your masculinity but not TOO progressive you look like a punk.

They killed ol boy (who I repeat IS a cornball) that made that tiktok video about why he prefers dating queer women over straight women but the last few weeks mofos said men wearing anything that glitters or with rhinestones are gae

See how confusing this s*** is?

the concept of masculinity lowkey genuinely fries most guys brains

labels are a prison, embrace yourself and live freely

Just don’t be a b****.

Performative softness is softness.

Fix s***. Buy s***. Work hard. Create stuff. It’s okay to be a man.

I wish. Imagine getting locked up there 🥵

The masculinity discourse starter pack: ‘Be vulnerable, but not too vulnerable. Be confident, but not arrogant. Dress well, but not too well. Good luck.

Who ultimately defines the parameters of what is and what isnt b****made behavior?

We just now getting to the fact the “physical male body ideal” that most men been starving themselves to be seen as for the longest was just some eurocentric bullshit.

I define it as being soft.

Just be genuine and be you

It highkey is, in fact male gender roles are more restricted than female gender roles

There's space for girls to act more masculine and for them to still be seen as women, if boys do the same thing they wanna be a girl or they're gay

Shyt stoopid

I don't think being called sassy has anything to do with being open with your feelings and emotions.

In what context is sassy being used here?

I’ve been called zesty but am pretty damn secure with myself

“labels are a prison, embrace yourself and live freely”

yes

Masculinity really isn't that hard to define.

It's just sublimating your ego/lizard brain instincts & weathering discomfort in order accomplish a difficult objective.

All that "real men do..." s*** is bird talk.

You can literally just... Ion know... "be a man" by exercising agency over your life & environment...

We need to stop tearing each other down first….

You can be the dutiful provider.

The man with no name.

The industrious maverick.

The impassioned artist.

The warrior for nation.

Steward of your community.

Anything really.

There's only a "masculinity crisis" because weirdos (who are neither biological males nor masculine) started spreading therapy talk propaganda about what "real men" are supposed to do.

How men are supposed to be insentient bodyguards/workhorses for women & children that aren't their's.

Or that you have to "rise n grind" all your life, & if you don't, you're a failure.

Lol k...

the physical is a prison

yah

yeah

Swag

always has been

Wanting validation from others is a female trait.

Masculinity should never be a prison just based off that

Highkey

Where do yall come up with this s***

Oh yeah
