wow that was insightful and so free of biases. Very liberating indeed. I'm not sure I understood everything, even less sure I'll try wearing stockings, but who knows
As a trans man who is active in kink circles, this is one thing that I am constantly advocating for. The good news is that, as far as I can tell, men are more likely to listen and at least attempt to understand and embrace this than they have been in the past. Even compared to just a decade ago, more men are willing to investigate what they are attracted to in other people, regardless of gender, and much more appreciative of compliments from other men.
Thank you for sharing this. I will definitely be going through the other videos, and recommending this to others.
This is a great essay. I appreciate your honesty and I think you make a compelling argument about the sublimation of men's sexuality. I just wish I could have read it without having to pause a video and scrub through it page by page.
This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.
Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people
Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.
