In a culture where people ask how you’re doing as a symbol of politeness and not out of any sincere desire to actually Know, you are equally expected to answer with some vague polite affirmative (“it’s going good/fine/ok”). Being truthful and saying “it’s not going well/its going bad” implies intimacy and invites further questions about your personal life. So somehow the alternative has become that being exactly neutral conveys a sense of negativity and gets the point across without opening yourself to invasive questions from strangers (Who, once again, are probably only asking them because this is the politness script) and honestly it’s kinda buckwild.

“In patriarchal culture, all males learn a role that restricts and confines. When race and class enter the picture, along with patriarchy, then black males endure the worst impositions of gendered masculine patriarchal identity.” — bell hooks

“The film lays bare the corrupting and contaminating terrain of masculinity — its toxicities, its brutalities, its unrelenting banality… The depth and texture of [Chiron’s] life was stolen by the insistence of homophobia and the mask of an almost suffocating masculinity.” — LaLi Mohamed

Before her death she was also responsible for this mosaic of George Bush Sr. that you had to step on to get into a hotel in Baghdad. Truly iconic
