Permit me to pick my jaw off the floor... Then what about masculinity needs "recoding"?

I disagree with your premise of "masculinity brought us these things" as it continues to erase contributions of women, but I also *never*...
-
suggested the eradication of masculinity. Reframing how we treat boys and men, how we manage our relationships with violence and emotion...
-
is what I said. And that's not to eliminate or weaken masculinity, but rather to provide it more healthy options and alternatives for growth
-
As you said, boys are forced into false choices. I absolutely agree this is horrid! I suffered through this as a boy myself.
-
But the fact is women are affected as much, if not more, by imperialism and oppression than men are, yet it's *mostly* men doing the kaboom
-
So how can we fix this, from Manchester to Aurora to Lebanon to all over the world and turn it into a more powerful, productive outlet?
-
Agreed that badly channeled male instinct is disastrous. Rappers & sports shouldn't be main heroes; astronauts & entrepreneurs should be.
-
Or both should be! As should activists and artists and poets and writers and the really great dad that throws a good barbecue every summer
