But guess what?

We're also caregivers.

They were lawyers and truck drivers and firefighters. And they were strong and they were brave and they were Wonder Woman. And we saw that women can be all of those things. And now we don't even think twice about it. But that effort took arguably 200 years, but let's say 60 years. Männer haben nicht die gleiche Zeit und Ressourcen investiert, um herauszufinden, wer wir sind.

We're also hairdressers.

We also want to look pretty sometimes.

And sometimes we want to be macho as fuck.

We just need to expand what it means to be a man in the same way that women expanded what it means to be a woman.

We're all all of these things.

We are all full spectrum human beings.

And that's what I tell my kid.

And that's what the message of the book was.

Männer sind Verteidiger und Verteidiger. Aber wisst ihr was? Wir sind auch Verteidiger. Wir sind auch Haardresser. Wir wollen auch manchmal schön aussehen. Und manchmal wollen wir macho sein. Wir müssen einfach das, was es bedeutet, ein Mann zu sein, in der gleichen Weise, wie Frauen das, was es bedeutet, eine Frau zu sein. We're all all of these things. We are all full spectrum human beings.

And so when I think about masculinity or toxic masculinity, what I think about is people like, you know, the normal cast of characters, somebody like Andrew Tate, who is just a vile rapist.

Yes.

But is being esteemed as this paradigm of masculinity because he's unabashedly

a racist, a rapist, and probably a racist.
