Suggestions for men to develop proper masculinity (lemmy.zip)

toxic masculinity, tons of people aware of the bad things but most people think its taboo for men to think about their social reformation.

Some of my more well versed lady friends basically describe it like "the women can't do all the social reformation, men gotta do their part too"

Would be nice to make this thread into a list of resources, like groups, YouTube channels, websites, books, whatever.

It would be very helpful to define these things for people too I think, I don't think there is a name for men's social revolution yet, or at least one that is well known.

That other people seem to be misunderstanding your question, just providing examples of men with positive masculinity (although I would say Iroh is a good one, on that topic), rather than resources for men to become better more positively masculine. Is that what you mean, correct?

Hmm yeah that's a good point, I guess I wasn't clear, I also didn't really know what I was thinking exactly when I made the post whether examples or resources were best.

I think both is good

Yeah iroh is freaking awesome
