anti-fem-anti-stupid: fiercefatfeminist: Feminists don’t wanna live in a world without men, we want to live in a world without patriarchy and violent, toxic hyper-masculinity So a world where men can’t be themselves. Being violent and overly masculine is men “being themselves”? Sounds like you’re the one who wants to demonize men

THIS. christ, i am so here for the option of being a man who can nurture kids, and make squeaky noises over cute animals, and not have to constantly present myself as some kind of hard-hearted, aggressive asshole to keep from being beat down by other men who are afraid of getting Teh Ghey on them. toxic masculinity is TERRIBLE for men, and i refuse to participate in it.

which means, as a man, it’s beneficial for me to hang out with feminists as much as possible. they’re the ones who’ll let me be myself, not insecure dudebros who are so scared someone will see through their hyper-masculine facade that they’ll attack any guy who doesn’t front that way.
