I think it's both depressing and telling how many Americans (including many members of the elite media) view "masculinity" basically in terms of being an abuser and are excited and thrilled to sign up themselves and others for more abuse.

Tucker Carlson had such a grossly and weirdly sexual speech where he talks about America like it’s a 15 yr old girl and Trump is gonna spank her for going out in a short skirt. Really learning a lot more than I ever wanted to know about Tucker

I think it’s that she only left him a dollar in her will. That translates to essentially writing him out and in estate law means he can’t really contest her will because she did leave him something. You have to be really mad at someone to lock it up like that.

This is a vision of masculinity I have just no access to. My dad and granddad were outdoorsmen who loved kids and books and had strong conviction that being a man is about duty and virtue

Let's face it: the only thing that separates Musk from being the high school kid who gets his lunch money constantly taken away and being stuffed into his locker are his billions.

Being an adulterer is viewed as a feature not a bug when Trump looks for cabinet members. And still has massive Christian support

So many men literally made hating women their personality & got celebrated. So many others refuse to engage with reality. Every damn day pastor/cop/elected etc. outed for hurting women & kids & folks just continue to elect & trust the same types while pointing evil fingers at innocent Trans people.

I always thought of masculinity as having the will and capability to provide for your family and protect them from an unfair chaotic world, but apparently it actually means getting your own way by assaulting women and threatening lawsuits. Weird.
