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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.
Always glad to spread the idea. And it's about more than personal masculinity, it's about looking at the rules society puts around men too. Much like we're trying to break the stereotypes around women in Feminism, Men's liberation does that for us.
Just wanted to bandwagon and thank you also. This is basically what I believe and espouse but now I know there's a broader term! Much appreciated!
Glad to see you and @Maggoty@lemmy.world fighting against toxic masculinity and for breaking stereotypes, love to see it!
