You claim to reject rigid labels like masculinity, yet you still treat them as meaningful enough to center your entire post around. If the point was to show that masculinity is arbitrary, then why reinforce it by measuring yourself against those traits? You’re not just describing your experience, you’re using those traits to justify a sense of identity while insisting identity doesn’t matter.

You accuse me of missing your point, but the pushback wasn’t because you listed masculine-coded traits, it was because you paired meat consumption with manhood and then dismissed criticism of that pairing as irrelevant. You introduced beef as a symbol of masculinity, so the ethical objection is not off-topic; it’s directly responding to your own framing. Rejecting that framing is true masculinity, so maybe that’s why you don’t feel it. Hard to have strength integrity and compassion if you kill yourself because you can’t have a cheeseburger :’(

Still missing the point. I'm not measuring myself by anything; only stating that society does so.

Have a nice life. Enjoy typing way too much for no reason.
