We have seriously confused our world by pretending we don’t see masculinity and femininity, and then repressing/encouraging them in convoluted ways throughout the culture
Women told their femininity is weak and makes them oppressed and that we need to push through higher levels of masculinity to “succeed” in life (by masculine definitions of success)
Men told their masculinity is inherently, always toxic and violent, and cannot be used for good in any way, because even if they are using it for good that means confronting that male masculinity is something females cannot embody in the same way.
So now we have a bunch of unhappy, bitter, women who reject feminine energy but it comes out in weird unhealthy ways (body dysmorphia, promiscuity) and a bunch of unhappy, bitter men who reject their masculine energy but it comes out in unhealthy ways (political radicalism,
Hatred and rejection of women, self destructive and risk taking behavior).

But the solution is to make men cry more and women to just keep grinding away at work and school, when it should be the reverse.
This is what happens when we look at these energies through the shallow, post feminist mainstream lens that all they are are these superficial, performative tools of a power struggle between the sexes, instead of a study of their own.
