Are you actually saying that if a girl wants to be a kickboxer or a Marine Force Recon, and a boy wants to be a home-maker/househusband, you're ok with that?
why would you automatically assume that?
his point is OBVIOUSLY that being masculine and having traditional male qualities is not bad as your trying to suggest or toxic, ugh that term in itself is disgusting
Because the term 'Boys will be Boys' has often been an excuse to mask unacceptable behavior.
I'm assuming you mean 2 young men let's say around 10-13 years old getting into a little scuffle at school right?

Because everything the poster I replied to was saying is that no real woman needs a man for anything except maybe a sperm donor.
I don't know about you, but I do need my husband. Sure, I could fend for myself and our son if I had to, but he's my partner and a pillar of my emotional support. Without him, I'd be half of myself.
So here's my little boy growing up with a strong bonded pair of parents in front of him and I'm being told that society is sending the message that he ought not expect to find, want, or need what he expects or desires in his future -- a spouse who loves, wants him, and needs him and will build a bond of mutual emotional support with him for the purposes of forming a strong family.

Or, I dunno, harassing women, shaming boys who don't conform to their idea of toughness etc etc. it's literally the justification of the 'locker room talk' Trump was recorded as saying re grabbing women by the pu##y...the goddamn POTUS speaking that way and excusing the behavior as something dudes 'just do' and is totally fine smh.

Believe me ... I may have been a girl, but I had Div I collegiate level athletic talent myself. I also needed a certain amount of movement too. I finally caught the knack of just mentally checking out which wasn't much better.

Amazing, isn't it?
Not many other groups are told to "get over it", except for little boys--they're expected to get over it, change with the times, etc...
More and more, I'm glad I grew up when I did--when I was allowed, even encouraged, to be a little boy and skin my knees, play in the creek, pick up snakes, etc...

Masculinity? Men have their clear nature and purpose, just like Women do. I think if you can embrace and celebrate your gender while treating women, lgbt etc. with equal respect and value, it works.
How do you have a "clear nature and purpose" when you aren't even allowed to know for sure what place on the so-called spectrum you fall on with which orientation that may have?
Explain that "clear nature and purpose" you get then, please ...

You act like the mean girls don't do their own version.
Somehow it's toxic when guys do it, but no one wants to talk about what it's like for the mean girls to dig into you because you don't choose to wear makeup, can't afford the "right" clothing, and happen to be bookish rather than a pretty piece of driftwood for the guys.
How is that much different from being shamed for not being masculine enough, only in this case, you aren't feminine enough?
The only reason they finally left me alone was because I was an athlete and got to where I was too prominent to pick on easy.
And you think girls don't talk about guys' butts and other body parts like they're sides of man-meat? If you claim not, then you're lying.
