Toxic Masculinity

Paxton and Talarico. What a contrast in manhood-whatever that means anymore. What do the bonafides of masculinity/manhood attributes garner you in society? If you’re a philanderer, AG crook fixer and a host of maga admirer’s dream wish- you win election approval from the low thinking class, cultural inept, masculine insecure folks in your state and nation.

Now I present to you the less pompous, humane, honest, people person critical to humanity’s flourishing. Is he the logical choice representing manhood replete with the awareness that there are no masculine credentials necessary to establish rights to rule. That man/woman who aspires to better serve is not defined by pomposity, brazen lies, criminal entitlement, but avoids the extreme masculine toxicity inherent in our current society that imagines a fantasy promoted by the likes of Paxton, Hegsbreath, Miller, Tillis, etc., etc.

These cretins of manhood insecurity- “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” indicts them all. Talarico exposes the falsity and fantasy of their bluster and the ugly fear that traits ordinarily attributed to women are stipulated to somehow remain in that lane. If you observe, the better candidates as leaders are fluid enough to not value aggressive, brutal, violent masculinity as an obligatory, certificate to lead the charge.

What is glorified in the Pentagon, sports stadiums and bloody UFC lawns erected on the People’s House lawn is not strength, but a war of recognition for equality in every gender class and in every cultural institution we’ve constructed.
