    Masculinity is a social construct.

    Whatever point you’re trying to make, you’re using the wrong words for it.

      Ah yes, there is definitely no difference between masculinity and femininity, right? Big brain 🧠 Its construct, everything that makes man a Man is a masculinity trait

        If you say so, I guess. I don’t really care about the distinction between masculinity and femininity.

        Its construct, everything that makes man a Man is a masculinity trait

        You’re wrong, though. Both about what makes a man a man, and that you seem to think that masculine is a synonym for man.

        A man is a whoever tells me they are a man. If you believe differently, then we can’t be friends.
        Masculine/masculinity describes characteristics, not gender or biology.

        If you still have questions, I encourage you to search online for answers.

          I’m ok with that. How mental would I be to think everyone will agree with me or be my friend… 😜

          You sure are putting a lot of effort into discussing this thing you don’t care about

            Words?
            Yeah. I guess I do care about them a lot.

            If we didn’t care about using words correctly and comprehending the words others use, we wind up sounding like real idiots.

            I know that’s kind of an ableist sentiment. There are plenty of folks that can speak well or comprehend others, but don’t for a variety of reasons*, and even folks who can’t that are not idiots.

            I’m choosing not to believe you are an idiot, so I wish you the best of luck in life. I’m rooting for you.


            * Such as when someone desperately wants to bait you into an argument so they can blather their poorly considered opinions, but don’t know they’ve already been rolled.

            Anyway, even though it’s tangential to my comments, if you want to tell me your thoughts about genders or gender identities, go right ahead.
            I promise I won’t respond and challenge you on any of it. It’ll be the perfect void for you to scream into.
