My first reaction was to wonder if anyone was on the project of figuring out which parts of masculinity are inherent, which are learned, then seeking a masculinity that optimizes agreeableness given that info But that shows my hand; feminist masculinities are far closer to this.
Category 3 fundamentally requires much less focus on masculinity than 1/2 due to the huge overlap between “being a better man” & “being a better woman.” But I’m all for playing up the masculinity aspect, as it’s a massive source of insecurity, confusion & pain for men todayhttps://twitter.com/primalpoly/status/1049001823586201602 …

I also note that the definition of ‘Alpha Male’ has been a somewhat lost to mean muscular yet otherwise utterly under-developed both emotionally and intelligently. I would argue the current cat 2 books are not creating more Green Berets.

As for the "huge overlap," it sounds like Dworkin, for one, would have agreed with that more than with #1: https://www.theawl.com/2014/08/andrea-dworkin-mens-rights-advocate/ … (I do plan to read Right-Wing Women next; I'm fatigued of her anti-porn arguments, but her basic theoretical basis seems solid and reality-based)pic.twitter.com/RadWl5bl8T

Idk,
@webdevMason. Is not the best overall solution to play up, above all else, "being a better person"? I mean, yes: Many men suffer a kind of insecurity, etc., rooted in ignorance of solutions to typically 'male' problems. But why must solutions be typically 'masculine'? -
The best way is whichever way is attractive enough to find an audience, useful enough to do actually do something for them, sustainable enough to keep doing it. Use whatever window dressing you like, as far as I’m concerned. I suspect that “be a better man” just works.

I just sat and peed like a girl! Does that put my behavior in the first category, acting like a woman, or does it put my behavior in the second, behaving like a psychopath in my ability to post this without regret?

agreed. within that framing, deida’s ‘way of the superior man’ does the category justice.
