Guns, Republicans and "manliness": We all suffer from the right's mental health crisis - Lemmy.world

Republican men seem massively troubled about their masculinity — and that’s literally causing death and suffering

One thing I’ve learned is that if you have to announce something about yourself, and announce it loudly and repeatedly, it’s very much not true.
I’ve been told drinking coffee with cream or sugar isn’t manly which I find funny, like who cares? We all have taste buds dude. IMO a “real” man isn’t concerned about what others think, he is comfortable being himself.
Know what’s manly? Doing whatever the fuck you want.
I think what you’re saying is more about being HUmanly. Once you try to assert what manliness is and isnt it becomes clear that gender is a social construct and that people should just do what they feel is right regardless of what abstract groups they identify with
