  1. Last night I was talking to Mom and I told her about how I walked away from a friend who was very very negative and difficult to be around...they were much younger than me but carried on like a stereotypical crotchety senior, and I just couldn't take it any more.

    "People need to see the glass as half full, not half empty!" said Mom.

    I responded, "Or you just need to find a good way to refill it!"

    She gave me a proud look, and I was proud of myself. I had just come up with that out of nowhere, and I think it was a good line.

    The glass may be half full or half empty, but it's got space for something good. Figure that out.

  2. These days I find myself comforted by examples of positive masculinity. Like Mollyboy reacting to Tracy Chapman's *Fast Car *

    And the first few minutes of Critical Role's Campaign 4,Episode 12 where Brennan Lee Mulligan and Liam O'Brien (both fathers in their own lives) roleplay soothing a crying baby with humour and tenderness. That doesn't seem to be on YouTube yet, so no link, sadly.

  3. A new study in more than 15,000 men investigated eight markers of toxic masculinity and found that only 10.8% of men included in the study showed clear signs of toxic masculinity. This finding indicates that the vast majority of men are not “toxic” and do not believe in destructive male attitudes. 💪🚫👨‍👦‍👦

  4. Genuinely feel like we’re living through a golden age of #PositiveMasculinity #representation despite all the bad stuff out there.
    I feel lucky that my #Youtube recommendations are so rich with incredible men sharing their experience and wisdom and being chill dudes.

  5. who are cis people? What is a cis man? What makes a man cis? What makes a man trans?

    (in case anyone wants to misrepresent any of this video or my posting of it -- no one is or should be disposable. Even if you don't like them.
    I might say otherwise in my own personal experiences with a handful of people who have behaved unconscionably towrd me, but that's neither my ideal nor what I think would bring a better world.
    Even less so on demographic grounds. Like, I understand if Person A abuses you, yeah you will be experiencing a range of emotions -- or shutdown, or cycle through them. But that's individual, not systemic. anyway.)

    Obvious one we should all be able to agree on tho: posturing based on attacking others is not "real" gender. It's just insecurity getting defensive at other people.

  10. bell hooks in The Will to Change:

    "The core of feminist masculinity is a commitment to gender equality and mutuality as crucial to interbeing and partnership in the creating and sustaining of life. Such a commitment always privileges nonviolent action over violence, peace over war, life over death."

  11. Listening to @profgalloway on CNN. He is describing an ongoing crisis with (and of) men.

    It makes for sobering listening.

    #BeauOfTheFifthColumn just did a follow-up to the video about dating red flags. youtu.be/xtgEZnaGujs
    Apparently that got under some guys' skin, guys who have been steeped in #incel & #RedPill ideology. He does a great job of pouring cold water on their theories.
    It's sad when young men get caught up in that BS. Can you imagine how badly it would go if you if you talked like that on a date?

    This is such a great video. Great advice from Beau about dating red flags, how women deal with them. And a young guy who wrote in who is learning to self-reflect and wants to change. I'm rooting for the guy. Change is good.

    Still not sure what I think about the angle this article takes - I would've leaned more on despair than narcissism - but they're right that #masculine insecurity is a crisis that must be taken seriously.
    I have a different perspective on this because I identify with these young men in a lot of ways. I managed to find my way without any of these bad outcomes, but I was "involuntarily celibate" before social media.

  19. I don't have a complete definition for "positive/healthy masculinity" (the opposite of "toxic masculinity"), but I think it should include:

    - It's OK to cry. It's *healthy* to cry. We should cry *more*, when facing a sad situation, movie, book, etc. Or when facing a tough situation and being very stressed out.

    - It's also ok to cry when feeling very happy 🥲

  24. @misc @futurebird @tomwarren
    I get what you're saying. I've been thinking what we need is good old fashioned human moderation. I used to moderate and be an admin on a music site. We were pretty good at it. But finding good mods is probably harder now. I've seen it go wrong on reddit. Tankies may take over a subreddit & kick out other leftwing factions. Or someone tries to start a #PositiveMasculinity sub & next thing you know red pillers and fascists have taken over.
