Apeman is always sarcastic and always not subtle. While he should come with a warning, that's what I love* about him. *In the most masculine sense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more people were exposed to the people they look down on, then maybe they wouldn't feel so negatively about them. Hmmm won't any of you guys find any human behavior odd?

But the better part would be if people were taught not to look down on other people to begin with. Parent's are responsible for most of that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't matter whether a dude is super girly or a girl is super manly. Or anything else in-between. Just let people be people. Who the F cares?... I think the whole idea of Toxic Masculinity is ridiculous...it is every single bit as ridiculous as the whole idea of White Privilege. Just let people be people! I mean really...what difference should it make whether you are gay or straight, or black or white, or rich or poor, or stupid or brilliant? People are the same across all the boundaries...humans ...being ...human. There are some good humans and there are some humans that are evil, wicked, mean and nasty. Just don't threaten me or mine and we're good....otherwise...what difference does it make. It's called Freedom. I give you an A+ on that one AK.

They are what they are and I have no problem accepting that. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While i agree with much of what you say here, i do think toxic masculinity is a real thing. It isn't ALL masculinity, just a certain 'brand' of it. It's the kind of masculinity that says men should never she'd a tear, or express any emotion, or that any form of empathy and compassion is a sign of weakness, etc. It's psychologically damaging to men. So yeah, it's definitely a real thing. (White privilege is real too, but that isn't the topic of this thread, so...) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything Toxic about that. I think teaching boys to be tough is natural...now...if the boy doesn't want to be tough...forcing them to be tough is a baaaaad thing to do.

I guess that's what you are talking about with Toxic. It isn't psychologically healthy to expect men (and especially young boys) to never show emotion and always be tough. I'm not saying everyone needs to be singing coombaya while talking bout their feelings all day. Just that this extremist form of 'manliness' is itself unhealthy, since no one is like that in real life. Yet unfortunately that mentality is more prevalent then you'd think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
