What’s something considered to be masculine that you feel uncomfortable doing?

1. Doing anything shirtless

2. Holding the door open for females.

3. Sports

4. Posturing

5. Basically any gender role in regards to sex with someone new. Don’t think women understand how actually scary that can be.

6. Whenever I’m around a group of guys and the energy shifts to “Look how awesome I am!” whether it be at a sports, religious, or political rally. It makes my fucking skin crawl and I immediately leave those people.

   Music has been the one where it doesn’t get to that level, it just stays at dancing.

7. Running a BBQ

8. Partaking in any physical sport.

   Even though as a kid I enjoyed playing soccer/football and basketball. I sucked at it.

9. Gaining muscles

10. Slaughtering an animal. Sure I can kill it with a rifle or bow but I don’t want to skin it and deal with getting the meat.

11. The whole getting in fights thing. I’ve only been in one physical fight but it wasn’t worth it. I’d rather sit down with the person and talk it out.

12. Being able to hold my own in a fight. 1v1 is no issue, but 2+, and I also have to protect someone? Wtaf am I supposed to do there?

    Also the concept of going to war. I have no need to protect some ideology or some country that the minute i die will no longer protect me (it never did particularly in the first place) and there are other ways I can protect my family than leaving them to themselves.
