"I had to say it," is such bro logic. No, my dude, you totally didn't.

This is how, as feminists, we engage masculinity with some small sense of hope.

Which is why I also preach that the only way we are going to survive is if we learn to raise healthy boys who will grow into healthy men.

I sincerely believe that the work of becoming conscious of and thus changing our understandings of masculinity (and with it, the socialization practices that both prop up masculinity and prevent us from examining it), underlies everything else we need to do to survive as a species.

I think a lot about how men conceptualize masculinity. It's something I'm regularly discussing with my trans masc clients, who come to the task with an explicit awareness of the constructed aspects of masculinity, an awareness which is mostly unavailable to cisgender men.

fascinated by this
