Well that's obviously not what I'm talking about. I explicitly affirmed a balance that combines both non-toxic femininity and non-toxic masculinity. And look, your anti-intellectualism is showing. You think MAO is a good thinker. That's your problem.
What about women, though? Do they need to have masculine aspects to them in order to be balanced people?
Yes. But the point is that the patriarchy does more to stop men from acting feminine than it does to prevent women from acting masculine. So it's more exigent right now to promote male femininity. The patriarchy penalizes men for their femininity much worse than it hurts women for their masculinity. I believe ghost's recommended feminist author made this point repeatedly, but then it seem pretty clear that ghost never actually understood her work.
I understand your argument. But you're missing the point. Most feminine men don't choose to act feminine they just are feminine. I've acted feminine literally my whole life. So the point is NOT to make masculine men more feminine. It's to create a safer more welcoming space for feminine men and show more men that femininity is a viable option. Furthermore, the point is also to show that embracing femininity can be a useful tool to mitigate toxic masculinity, as much toxic masculinity arises from a man's refusal to ever act feminine. I see no evidence that women find femininity unattractive in men. Women do often complain about men refusing to act feminine. They complain about men not expressing their emotions, not being sensual, not caring about their partner's pleasure, not being sensitive, etc. If anything, women don't reject feminine men, they just want men who combine masculinity and femininity in ways attractive to them. Any man who would refuse to act feminine out of fear of seeming unattractive is deeply insecure in his masculinity anyway, so the femboy who is secure in his masculinity is more likely to be more attractive than the insecure trad
You have a point, but again don't act feminine if you don't want to. My goal is to make the world a better place for men who DO act feminine.
Once again, you're unable to distinguish reference from endorsement.
It is bad strategy to assume women constantly lie about their desires. It's also a strategy favored by the Red Pill. Maybe some of you have more in common with the manosphere than we thought? Besides if a woman ever lies to me about her desires she gets dumped.
Right, but acting more masculine doesn't make me less feminine and vice versa. I can act more masculine and more feminine without decreasing either my masculinity or femininity as a conseqence. Maybe those women didn't know that, but that's there problem.
Anyone who doesn't read philosophers because they're "boring" is not allowed to do big kid philosophy!
Why would women lie, en masse, about wanting feminine men?
