9. "why cant men embrace femininity without reframing it as masculinity?" In response to In response to 0
isnt the best way to recognize and respect femininity to treat it as a wholly distinct but equally humane/worthy force (like blackness)?
rebranding femininity as the 'new masculine' is co-opting/appropriating some of the cultural/historical cues that have given women their unequivocal/unmistakable/unambiguous power and identity.
youre kind of saying 'men now own this too' about traits and behaviors that women have largely solely championed and fought to be normalized/integrated/beloved.
imagine someone saying the 'new white' is soul food and dudu osun soap lol.
