This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Toxic masculinity is bad. Men's liberation is good. Look up Men's liberation if you struggle with feeling "manly".

Oh interesting. I'm also a cis hetero male but very feminist and a bit queer.

For me I've never had this push to be masculine since I was young. I would never have been able to fit in in the army or another toxic masculine organisation. Or even being barked orders at, I could not deal with that. I've never been capable of being a "team player". But I have always been OK with being different. But I was not aware of this movement. I will read more about it.

Glad to see you and @Maggoty@lemmy.world fighting against toxic masculinity and for breaking stereotypes, love to see it!
