Positive Masculinity Is Real — Don’t Let Culture Blind You

0:00 I think we would find it really unfair if the ideas of toxic femininity were just assumed about us. Like we are reputation destroyers or we are false accusers or we are somehow liars and manipulators just because we are women. I think I know that I would find that quite offensive like don't judge me based on the worst offenders of my gender. That's not fair. But worse, it's kind of an idea pathogen as Godad calls these ideas that worm their way into our brains and subconsciously affect the way that we're judging the people that we love, even our husbands and our sons. I say this as someone who has four incredible brothers, a wonderful father, an amazing husband, and four amazing sons. I'm surrounded by positive masculinity and I wonder where all of the chitchat where of all the chattering classes talking about positive masculinity talking about all the incredible traits of good men in our culture talking about how we can appreciate admire and be grateful for the beautiful sides of masculinity just as we admire the great sides of femininity.
