This post is an example.

It starts by othering men, then comparing how their identity is an only a social construct and how silly is it that only men have this word.

Like, it directly does this.

Idk how anyone can see these posts and not recognize that?

“Only a man can …”

This reads like “men are silly and fragile lol look at them” instead of something uplifting.

There is a discussion that can be had about this that doesn’t necessitate othering anyone.

    No it doesn't.

    Masculinity is a social construct. And it varies across cultures, time and social groups.

    Masculinity is not an identity. Male is an identity. Masculinity is a societal behaviour set.

    You omitted the context in the post and projected your own interpretation onto it.

    That’s not what the image says.

    Not all men feel their identity is rooted in being masculine. No one here is calling it silly.

    No, you said that. It does not directly say that if you need to take a long walk to get to the point you're making. And repeatedly try to convince peoole that's what it says.

    You and one other user (on multiple accounts) are actively arguing my point and you’re right you baited me into arguing with you when I ought not waste my time.
