no what i mean is - when you put on clothes. they are men's clothes, and you've seen other men wearing them and they reify your belief that you look good, because you look similar to other men you've seen wearing those (or similar) clothes.

that in itself is a performance, you've taken in masculinity and you're now reflecting it back in how you present yourself

Yep. Gendered behavior is not something developed in a vacuum

Makeup is considered masculine in some societies, as is veiling

ehhh there are definitely some that are, especially ones that I follow

Been following this page for years and the creator is a cishet black man that has been pushing for us to be more emotionally vulnerable. There's an organization called black men build where every sunday we have a man's circle (I go to it semi-regularly, I haven't been in a while admittedly for personal reasons) and it does get pretty deep.

And yes there are women that will push the patriarchy but also, you gotta wonder (for those that are earnest and not jokes) what was their background like?

whatever you want it to be.

being non-binary on ktt is kinda weird sometimes - cause you forget that other people haven't obsessively read judith butler llol

years ago I had a whole argument with somebody that was dissing a mutual friend cause they wore nail polish and I had to tell them for what felt like minutes that nail polish was actually made for men and he aint believed me until he looked it up on google

No it’s real freedom if anything I can strong arm anything I want whenever I want, I just don’t do it because that’s how imbeciles solve problems

Is gender a feeling or a way you act?

Whoever came up with gender roles must not know too many people. This s*** is dumb

reminded me of that vid of a guy showing random strangers pictures of each other and 99% theyre like "yeah that dudes def gay"

Wait that was a real question. I got trans friends but I knew them before the transition so I always looked at them the same and never bothered to ask s*** like this.

2011 weezy would have been like “masculinity’s a prison… I just f***ed the warden”

Masculinity exists as the opposite of femininity

Its a spectrum that encompasses many if not all human attributes. Ultimately its convienent for nature and duality is a core part of everything

Something capitalism

Everything is a performance

We on a prison planet

It's all fake man they don't even call tony Montana Scarface in the movie it's all a lie

You can define your own ideal and strive for that

This whole “don’t be too much x, but also too much y” thing applies to all gender, races, and social label

Everyone wants to hate and will find a way to hate so just do whatever

The movie is a remake of the 1932 adaptation of a book loosely based on Al Capone. Scarface is a nickname Al Capone got for having scars on his face.

no. but patriarchy is
