Great thread. So true. Toxic masculinity’s concept of the “ideal man” is an emotionally void, violent, misogynistic psychopath. Nothing could be further from the truth. https://twitter.com/tbiggstequila/status/1346107708756340741

And for guys who struggle with this, I get it. We all want to be tough & strong, etc. The way I look at it is this: I *know* what I am capable of in those regards because I’ve proven it to myself. Therefore, I don’t have to prove it to anyone else.

And being a “real man” certainly doesn’t require hating or disparaging women. That doesn’t even make sense! The only reason men do this is because they’re insecure and intimidated by women.
It isn’t women’s fault. Handle your business and stop blaming others for your problems.
