72. Masculinity a bitch.

Some people think they have to be a bitchy man or a manly bitch.

How did that come to be?

“Why should men be constrained by antiquated stereotypes of masculinity? What does it even mean to ‘Be a Real Man’ anymore? Shouldn’t we all be celebrating a wide range of definitions of manhood?”

Andy Dunn

Yes. Why should men be constrained by antiquated stereotypes of masculinity?

No one should be constrained by antiquated stereotypes of any kind. Men should be free to express themselves in whatever way feels most authentic, without the pressure to fit into any particular mold. In recent years, there has been a growing acceptance and celebration of diverse expressions of masculinity, and it is important to continue to embrace this shift. (ao)

Me: In a society of usury and usury unawareness. Masculinity becomes a bitch.

ChatGPT (jan23):

In a society heavily influenced by usury and usury unawareness, traditional societal expectations of masculinity may be distorted or challenged. The pressure to constantly strive for financial success and accumulation of wealth may lead to a distorted view of what it means to be a “real” man and can lead to behaviors that are not in line with traditional notions of masculinity such as greed, manipulation, and power-seeking. This can also lead to societal pressure to adopt a “power pose” or to project a false sense of confidence and control in order to appear successful and in control.
