Oh, now I see, I stepped into it replying to same guy! https://twitter.com/cabinloon/status/876850766283239427 … (Tho he didn't engage with me much thereafter; others did.)

I'm on the fence abt it. I think there are some attitudes associated w manliness when taken 2 excess are toxic 2 their holders or others.

Helen has convinced me 'toxic masculinity' is not a gd way 2 describe this phenomenon. But now I'm not sure what to call it.
-
Which is a problem. I don't know either but do think it better to address the behaviour than gender it. eg, Boorishness when it is.
-
But sometimes it's internalised societal expectations or views abt manliness (I honestly believe this contributed 2 a male friend's suicide)
-
among other things, he believed real men don't ask for help, they are self-reliant...
-
So sorry. Yes, this is almost certainly biology compounded by culture & could have been made better. Can still talk about that.

I think we're a mixed bag tbh.

You are but generally, you're quite nice. When you're not, its not usually a result of cultural conditioning into psychopathy.
-
Agreed. I'm a big fan of humans in general.

…according to some dude who admits he's not a psychologist, i.e., not qualified to speak about diagnoses like that.
