@digitalraven@retro.pizza Yep. I'm a cishet dude. Gender dysphoria and euphoria were concepts I had to learn about a few years ago and examine within myself. Determined I'm actually good with myself as I watch so much of this BS where guys are trying to prove to themselves they are men. Latest version I heard about was The Sigma Male. Oh, just fuck off. Use your strength to help, and accept help. Teach what you can, and learn from others. Be a _partner_ if you're into people, and raise your children to be good people if you do the parent thing.

@NuclearOatmeal@beige.party @digitalraven@retro.pizza Sometimes I like to simply things down (possibly too far) ... just try to avoid being an arsehole.

@NuclearOatmeal@beige.party @digitalraven@retro.pizza the sum of all males? Such transparent grifts, the whole thing.

@NuclearOatmeal@beige.party @digitalraven@retro.pizza I consider myself fortunate, as a multispecies holobiont, that no one is around to tell me I'm not acting out an externally assigned role correctly based on cultural modalities reinforced by the aforementioned role-policing. Honestly, that entire "manosphere" environment seems like an intentional mindfuck to acquire some kind of loyal army. Probably for consumerist profit, but one never can tell with a mob of howling furless apes at someone's back.

@digitalraven@retro.pizza @NuclearOatmeal@beige.party I agree with you both. I am disappointed that certain rural areas of certain countries frown upon men expressing love (including platonic)/happiness/etc with one another, which seems to have the cause of going back to WWII where a lot of grand/fathers were lost, though I really have no idea on that part.
