    Brother, I’m 6’2", 270lbs, have a massive beard; I’m a maintenance man; I’ve built power plants, cut timber, and regularly work on vehicles. I’m not a coward, and I eat beef. I’m a pretty manly man, but I’m right there with ya.

    Always felt more comfortable around women than men. I cannot stand the way “men” act and treat one another, and I wouldn’t want to be one if it wasn’t for the fact that I don’t want to change my body.

    I’m beginning to learn that everything we’ve always been told should fit inside one box or the other is actually more like a pile of stuff that we get dumped on us when we’re growing up. We don’t fit into boxes and we were never meant to. Life and everything in it is a spectrum.

    We’re all a little queer and autistic- but some of us are more ready to accept it than others.

      Manly men don’t eat beef. That’s for bawbags cucked by social norms.

        Ok thanks I’ll just go fucking kill myself and stop doing everything I like to do (google hyperbole)

        It’s clear that you missed the point of my naming all the shit that I do and have done, for they are all societal norms.

          The rest aren’t societal norms. Unless you don’t really want a beard.

          Just get a beyond burger bro it’s not hard don’t be so dramatic. Or just don’t try and group paying someone to kill a defenceless animal with ‘masculinity’. Masculinity defends the defenceless.

    I blame big business intentionally abusing social media to promote products and capitalism-/fascism-friendly ideologies.
