1. "... there are some wonderful, wonderful, absolutely wonderful things about being a man."

That reminds me of a part of this interview with Robert Jensen (which is very much worth watching):



He asks what are the good things "about being a man" that are distinctly masculine traits?

The gender nonsense really needs to stop. He calls it an obsession with what's defined as masculine - and discusses how being obsessed with defining 'masculinity', as long as it's done within a patriarchal system, is only going to lead to a deepening of patriarchy. I agree so very strongly.


(Another apt part of this video is at around 14:30.)
