@ted
was talking about masculinity / femininity and associated energies yesterday in the water during a surf with @nonlinear.eth (yes, i needed to include those details) and we stumped ourselves. are there any qualities or traits that are exclusively masculine or exclusively feminine? we think no.

I took a class on this called “Masculinities” in school (looking at men’s issues using feminist frameworks). U and @nonlinear.eth are absolutely correct. There are none, which is why gender is a performance That’s why I use they/them pronouns, I refuse to be put into a binary of only masc/fem traits 😁

‘tis also why the “masculine/feminine urge to..” memes are so painfully juvenile and completely missing the forest for the trees

I think they’re funny 😄 but everyone has a different relationship with their own gender and how they perceive gendered memes. I can accept most perspectives unless they’re radically radically left or right

while there’s a possibility of humor, I think they reinforce the dark ages’ stereotypical lens to the constructs and performances of gender in the weak minded populations

And I wouldn’t say weak minded, just different. I try to reserve moral judgement and use balanced language when speaking about points I believe in, because I believe we’re all different and learning from eachother. It’s important for me to create an inclusive environment for everyone to learn from eachother 😄

I understand where you’re coming from. I find that most people, despite having thoughts on either side about the gender, don’t really decide to take action to affect or change other peoples’ minds. So I’m relatively unconcerned about people who don’t care as much as I do
