13404660, how do you define traditional masculinity?

I don't see hatred of "tradditional masculinity" anywhere on OKP.

I see hatred of traditional masculinity as the only video definition of masculinity.

I see a hatred for men using the word "feminen" or some gender or sexual idenety driven variant/equivalent as a diss, as this overtly defines those as "less than".

I see a disdain for patriarchal norms- and traditional perceptions of gender overa-that are nothing but social constructs that are simply imposed.

To that end, if you want to be a cowboy, be a cowboy. I don't see a backlash to that.

The backlash comes when said cowboy wants to be misogunitsic and homophobic, or a dismissal of forms of masculinity that don't conform to The Cowboy Way of masculinity.

In other words, if your concept of masculinity is in direct conflict with modern- ahem, more inclusive- socimetal standards, well.... yeah.

You will, and should, run into some opposition.
