Male "authority" is still tyranny. Saying men have authority by virtue of being men...

My husband is a more feminine man, and he is not weak. (Now, I'm bisexual and not a good example for what heterosexual women want). Well, I'm physically stronger than he is when it comes to lifting things, but that doesn't count!

When you say feminine men are weak you are also saying women are weak.

I agree that everyone should become their best self. But you are just plain wrong...and from what I can see here a bit scared.

The "patriarchal family unit" has oppressed women and children. It does not have to.

Also, there's a lot of heteronormativity in this, bordering on casual homophobia.

Positive masculinity is a good thing. Strong men are not a bad thing at all, if their strength is focused on power over themselves rather than power over others.

But feminine <> weak and you also lost me when you implied you like Joe Rogan.
