       I want to see that masculine energy doing the dishes. Meeting with the kids’ teachers. Washing and folding the laundry without being reminded five times. Caring for the sick. Speaking up for women’s rights. De-escalating conflicts. Defending against toxic and violent speech. Promoting equality. Building a better world for people who are suffering. Learning from young and old, all genders and ethnicities. Being kind. That’s the masculine energy I want to see.

       @wendynather But they confuse masculine with macho, rigidity, meanness, disdaining emotion empathy and kindness.Not intending to correct you, sorry if it sounds like that. It's that toxic boys club thinking that they get to speak for all men that bugs me. (I don't consider myself very masculine and I also don't give a shit about it, lol).

       @tomjennings @wendynather It's misguided over-compensation.  They know it but used it got get votes from stupid white people.
