This was such a good read. For Christmas I asked my mum for a book (she was a librarian and always wanting us to read) - "The Way of the Superior Man". It is a beautiful book about how to find your purpose, improve your relationships and stay true to your masculinity. My mum, without reading more than the blurb, told me she was disgusted that she bought this and ashamed. It is strange thinking of your parents as so open-minded growing up, and learning their fallibilities only with age.
I definitely concur that as a society we have had issues with toxic masculinity and the world being too much of a patriarchy for too long. Groups of men can often behave badly, especially towards women. But the brandishing of masculinity as something shameful has to stop. Life is always a balance of the yin and yang, masculine and feminine. We all have and need both.
Physical training is so important to me. It is as much for my mental health as it is my physical. A failure to use our bodies as intended is a big part of our decline both as individuals and society

You, as a woman, do not get to define masculinity.
Refute media women telling men how or what to live as a steeled “Written by a woman lacking life experience as a man, her words are dismissed.”
