toxic masculinity, tons of people aware of the bad things but most people think its taboo for men to think about their social reformation.

Some of my more well versed lady friends basically describe it like “the women can’t do all the social reformation, men gotta do their part too”

Would be nice to make this thread into a list of resources, like groups, YouTube channels, websites, books, whatever.

It would be very helpful to define these things for people too I think, I don’t think there is a name for men’s social revolution yet, or at least one that is well known.

    Not only does a definition exist in various forms, or at least enough of one to figure it out but the assumption I’m making is that none of us meet the criteria and should aim to be better people.

      I think a key trait of masculinity is developing the capacity to decide for yourself what that means, whilst not imposing it on others as expectations, on any gender

        This assumes that it means specific things like enjoying flowers, its leaving behind the boyish immaturity.
