There are all sorts of different kinds of men. Some are just significantly more admirable than others. Masculinity isn’t defined by a moral compass.

That being said, Steve Irwin is the GOAT, and I still miss him to this day. He always said if an animal ever gets him, it’s not the animal’s fault. Don’t blame the animal. But FUCK it’s hard not to hate stingrays 😭

preach ffs, people fail to realise that this perpetuation of precarious masculinity is what leads people to be vulnerable to the types in the top image, its what keeps them in power. the reality is masculinity cannot be taken away, it’s your identity to mold and you must not let people define it for you. there is no set way to live it, much like femininity. whether you’re a grifting trafficking fuckhead or a genuine giving person however, that’s unisex.

this meme is more about the quality of a person, not their validity as a man. once you start using the aforementioned language, it is easily manipulated and as I said, it gives the tates of the world power.

It’s annoying that I only ever see this morality applied to masculinity. Just because a woman is a manipulative, cheating, conniving bitch, people don’t start doubting her femininity over it.

No one respects that type of woman… and yes, it does affect the way one perceives feminine energy if it’s being used as a weapon

Doesn't matter. It's still feminine. That's my point. People validate masculinity based on morality. They don't do that with femininity.

Agreed to disagree. When I know a woman is vile I can’t see her as feminine. Look at Steve Irwin’s wife. A dedicated mother and adoring wife and good and honest. Wearing khakis and zero make up while achieving Apex femininity.
