Oh Tulsapaws.

I don't know why but I have the overwhelming impression that you need a diaper to participate in the Menaissance

Androphilia is a rejection of the overloaded gay identity and a return to a discussion of homosexuality in terms of desire: a raw, apolitical sexual desire

is there a way to encourage healthy & positive masculinity that doesn't involve appealing to the continuity of male lineage?

"dad swag"

this is something that's been on my mind in the past few days, how these antiquated models of masculinity are invoked against uncertainty. the idea that virtue is a birthright passed through the male bloodline, whether or not our progenitors were actually good men. all these appeals to the way our grandfathers did things, and the conceit that fatherhood is the measure of a fully realized man.

for ex. the "rules for my unborn son" blog is framed in such a way, but really doesn't have anything to do with parenting.

in many contexts, children are the only acceptable way to express your innate self-regard so none of this really surprises me

(had a more loaded word there, removed it because I only want to be slightly accusatory rather than double-barrelled)

I feel like there's a parallel to the modern career situation, especially as far as the emphasis on individualism. We've lost a lot of situations where people are apprenticed to a career, or have a clear-cut path as far as career advancement goes, partially due to an emphasis on free agency and otherwise due to the concentration on college education over skilled trades and union-led trades.

Having generic signifiers and signposts of adult manhood seem like another attempt to patch this hole of how to live your life.

on the one hand, you can see a sort of tenderness in the way these guys try to figure it out. they teach and encourage and role model for each other. they are instructing each other how to shave and how to dress and how to behave towards women -- in a practical way, they are sort of fathering each other and finding models of manhood that were otherwise lacking in their lives.

on the other hand, a lot of the stuff they end up transmitting is privileged retrogressive dogmatic bullshit so idk :(
