I share the same opinion, and since I’m not using BP it is now a valid opinion apparently.

@Morfean  
Because that would change the content of what I said, right?  
Don’t pretend that those are reasonable grounds for disapproval of my comment.

Masculinity? In a nutshell: flight from vulnerability.  
Vulnerability, more so with men, is very much demonized and looked down on in western culture. From what I’ve been reading, it’s in vulnerability where you grow and develop into a healthy human being so I would say this whole masculinity garbage is making people mentally unhealthy and underdeveloped.

Maybe if you came out of BP mode, your opinions would actually matter.

@mathprofbrony  
Male privilege is just a bunch of feminist jargon. When it comes time for someone in society to suffer in some way, it’s usually men who are punished.

I always like his analyses, even I don’t agree with his opinions rather often. Not in this case though, I think he’s absolutely right here.

@mathprofbrony  
Just be the person you want to be and ignore attempts to change you. One of the best things the show does is give a wide selection of personalities to see yourself as.

I have, especially since starting to watch MLP, been wondering what I value in masculinity.
 
…
 
Turns out, not much. The traditional aspects of masculinity that I most desire to uphold are being a good provider for my loved ones and contributing productively to my community (both of those include keeping my loved ones safe), and that’s something women can do too, so what’s masculine about it? I have and benefit from male privilege, but that’s not something I actually want to preserve.
 
The only piece of maleness I care about is the Y chromosome that makes up 1/46th of my chromosomes (less in fraction of material) that I hope to pass on to the next generation.
 
The rest of masculinity? Kicking ass in fights, getting ripped, being a boor? Buck it.

I saw his videos a while back actually and I really do like them. Especially when he over analyzes something.

His mouth doesn’t move much so consider it like he’s internally screaming.

i also partially uploaded this because i was amused by the face on this OC
 
i think he’s supposed to be happy but i honestly don’t know

it was still nice

@MaggieXawesomeness  
Eh, I think it used it more of as a point to say characters can enjoy more than one thing. Something that all of the mane six have in common.

even though it did make me kinda mad how he did use the whole “dresses are girly” thing. oh well, did say sorry for it
