“Stop cringing — at your future, at your failure, at yourself in the mirror — and stand up and look directly at who you are. Not who you should’ve been, but who you are now. Let that person in. Let her be as mediocre and wrong and shameful and sad and miserable and brilliant and hilarious as she wants to be, because she knows exactly what you need to feel good. She has plans for you. She wants to show you what comes next. She wants to take you into the future you’re dreading and say, “See? You never would’ve imagined this.”

“I used to have a lot of questions about what it meant to be desirable, to be feminine, to be smart, to be successful. All of those things where women have, more so than men, a cheat sheet: “Well, this is what works for most people.” And you’re like, “Okay, but I don’t fit in this one. This didn’t work out for me.” Even just realizing I was bisexual was a huge thing for me. I was like, “Wait, I don’t have to dress any certain way to attract a certain type of person.” I just have to be the way that I’m comfortable, and you end up drawing the right soul.”

I’ve super inactive on tumblr lately, and I want to say it’s because I’m doing things but it isn’t really? I’ve just switched to reddit because it’s more wholesome and there isn’t useless discourse like here — which is something I never thought I’d say lol.

Anyway, I live in Paris now, which is wild. But I spend most of my time locked in my room because my dysphoria is crazy and I can’t summon the energy to go outside. I’m trying to fix that this semester but haven’t put the work in to do that yet.

Hope everyone is happy and healthy!

Burger = A burger.

Cheese burger = There is a version of a burger that has cheese. It’s not a statement that all burgers have cheese, but that 1 variation of a burger has cheese.

Masculinity = Masculinity

Toxic Masculinity = There is a version of masculinity that is toxic. It is not a statement that all masculinity is toxic, but that 1 variation of masculinity is toxic.

What part of masculinity isn’t toxic?

[the-exercist]

A huge, important amount.

It isn’t toxic to be confident, strong, assertive or loyal. It isn’t toxic to be physically active or to earn a solid living by working hard. It isn’t toxic to protect the people around you or to work with your hands or to feel proud of your accomplishments. These are all elements of traditional masculinity and they aren’t inherently bad.

It does no one any good to sit here and mock masculinity, as though it were something the people should ashamed of embracing. Should anyone feel pressured to adhere solely to masculine elements in their life? Of course not. That’s where toxic masculinity comes in. But that’s different from masculinity itself.

Don’t throw out the whole burger just because you don’t like the cheese.

Toxic masculinity comes from the Consumer Culture, our dominant culture.

The Consumer Culture tells us that Manliness is bought.

It is important to “appear” Manly.

Buy the right clothes, right car, right home, right education, right love partner,  even the right body (big muscles, mostly steroid induced).

Everything that the Consumer Culture “says” to make a Man “appear” Manly, with a fat wallet.

The Martial Culture, the culture of the fight gyms, proposes that to be Manly a Man must earn it.

Training and fighting produce Manliness.

Manliness is the ability and willingness to fight.

Manliness includes fight skills,a  trained and conditioned body and most importantly the Moral Virtues of Humility, Integrity, Selflessness, Self Control and always showing Respect.

A Man doesn’t “buy” Manliness, he earns it through training and fighting.

Train and fight!

Always seek true Manliness!
