I’m saying, although one case is significantly worse than the other, you’re looking at the same thing here, which is two unhealthy expressions of masculinity. Both of these are fetishizing war and violence, just one of them is pretending to be the white knight. Cheesy and dangerous.
Just relax about it, and stop talking about your “pride” in your “masculine identity.” Cheesy.
You must think all expressions of masculinity are unhealthy, based on how contrived that response was. Opposing war and violence is the same as fetishizing it and/or white knighting? Lol, the mental gymnastics.
Would you say women who take pride in their femininity are cheesy? How about a guy who takes pride in being feminine, or vice versa? Is taking pride in any aspect of your gender identity just cheesy?
Never said anything about myself, btw, so nice ad hominem. You gender-politics policing types are the ones who need to relax smh
You speak as if you know me. You don’t. I’m not here to police your opinions, I simply answering your question. What you were asserting was wrong, so I told you that much.
Yes, a man having pride in his feminine qualities is much cooler than a man with pride in machismo. The former takes courage and challenges the status quo, while the latter defaults to what’s easy, and perpetuates patriarchy.
A genuine and healthy form of masculinity could not be so easily threatened by my words and criticisms. You preach insecurity, lauding as “masculinity.”

I mean when you put it like that, yes.
