The “believe womyn unless the alleged perpetrator is a Democrat”, the depiction in our popular culture of man as inept stooges redeemed only by the intervention of womyn, preferably womyn of color, the “girls rule boys drool” indoctrination in grade school; the failure of young men to finish college at the same rate as their female counterparts all point to a lack of masculinity, not a toxic abundance of it.

It looks like confidently ordering “a hot black coffee, please” instead of agonizing at volume about what testes shrinking soy bullshit breakfast drink you’re gonna suck on. Healthy masculinity knows that wheel guns never fail and that an accidental discharge is not an STD. It learns, it adapts, hopefully lives through the injury, and it buys an H+K next time.
