thread of thoughts on masculinity

masculinity inherently entails some amount of asociality, frontier-building, forging paths; agency outside the confines of a structure, not dependent on group consensus. femininity relates to working within those confines, community building, paving paths, fostering consensus

@lisatomic5 yeah those are great. I definitely agree with parts of this; for me, masculinity is inextricably linked with awareness of my power and the responsibility to temper it application

@LucreSnooker @michaelcurzi we clearly have different detentions of masculinity; in my view being a man is about prioritizing providing for those you care about over your own needs, including ego

@quotidiania yeah... this is tricky stuff. I think a lot of us get caught up in trying to match up to women's expectations, but that's a losing game; to me, masculinity is about taking responsibility for yourself into your own hands & deciding how it is you want to live, how to support others

hotter take, treating someone like a man means respecting them enough to not manage their feelings for them. many cannot handle this, and hence are not men https://twitter.com/NLRG_/status/1456474191675465728

men will literally learn to reconnect with the primal instinct within themselves, to shut out the oversocialized cacophony and listen to the faint but desperate voice of their heart yearning for mastery of one's self and environment, instead of going to therapy

!!!!
This is important, even when not connected to gender

I hope everyone gets this at some point in their lives, hopefully before they truly need it. pushing through the pain to do what you gotta do is one of the hardest lessons to learn, but getting through to that other side unlocks incredible power. that power is called anger. https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1419641744690278403
