Only someone with an intentional lack of knowledge can read what I wrote and think it was anti-men. It was explicitly the opposite.

Only on twitter can you literally say, "I want these folks to be healthier and have a better future" and have that be somehow taken as bad.
-
I won't relent in my stance that we need to talk about how mass violence in the west is overwhelmingly perpetrated by men.
-
This is not to say women are blameless or don't contribute. But it's nowhere near balanced and we need to figure out why.
-
For every dude that grabs a gun and shoots people up, there are probably 40 more that suffer the same pressures but don't react. I felt this
-
I remember the pains of loneliness and the pressure to be superlative when I was not. I got in fights, I sought violence.
-
I wasn't alone in that. But I had no one to talk to, no outlets. And that's apart from my dysphoria. We can do better as a culture.
-
I give a talk sometimes called the Cult(ure) of Strength. It's about the emotional labor that goes into satisfying a bullshit ideal.
-
We fix that labor imbalance, I promise you violence will drop. It's been happening for a long time, but we can do more. We can be better.

I'll admit I don't understand coding in the context of identity, but I'm all about making life better for me/my son
-
Coding is about how we label/describe behaviors. White tights are coded for girlhood, etc.
-
"Code switching" is something people who live in intersections do. E.g. a black person that speaks one way at home, another at work.
-
it's a process of labeling--or encoding--our presentations, behaviors, to match an predefined ideal.
-
Makes sense, thank you!
