I was talking to a friend the other day about positive qualities of men which are specifically like, positive "masculine" traits which are not "toxic masculinity" and are not "positive traits in general that anyone could have and aren't particularly gendered." After I listed a bunch that I could think of, his response was to say that I had essentially described a stone monolith and all of those qualities could easily be achieved by an inanimate object better than any human being trying to live in the social role of Man.

I was talking to another friend about how men have a very strict tightrope to walk to be seen as a Good Guy whether it be in culturally conservative spaces or in culturally progressive spaces, but that at least the conservative cultures make it very clear what the expectations are for men while the progressive cultures are quick to criticize men for being too masculine but also can be socially punishing to men who are not being masculine enough. The standards aren't clear for what exactly a man is supposed to be and what's left is not much to live inside of for those who do wish to present as men, whether they be cis or trans.

The synthesis of these conversations is troubling. Clearly in order to keep men from crossing over into conservatism we need to give them a few more traits and label them Masculine to expand the class a bit. Buff them a bit since they've been a bit overly nerfed.

I suggest perhaps:

  • Adept at heists
  • Excellent at navigating a group of friends through crowded places
  • Darkvision
  • Earth magic
  • Communes with woody plants and fungi
  • Wild shape: Bear or Wolf

oh shit Men got another buff. time to grow a shitty mustache, where are my flannel shirts.



okay so. avant-garde black metal. no no come back. it's more like jazz, it's countertop-grease jazz. it's jazz shat out after too much oily coffee. no that's a good thing. come on, we're just about to start the libations to sacred clowns

I see avant-garde and I get a little bit excited, despite the connotations of pretentiousness. here is something promising to think outside the box, to crush the box, to grind the box down and snort a line of box. maybe being a little pretentious is good actually. sometimes you need to decide to buy in.

one foot misses the curb, splashes down in the shallow gutter water. shit. these guys, they are having an excellent and wretched time. meandering rhythms, buildings stretching up into the sky forever, blocking out the grey daylight. fuck man, this is so fucking depressing. yeah, pretty much. incredible to be able to hear the room someone is howling in. through the door, condensation and smears. dead people in the haze - I think they're laughing at me. it is dry and sardonic laughter. the room to breath would feel so good if there weren't so many people smoking in here. still be coming here tomorrow forever. I like the smashed chairs everywhere and the sparse decoration. I don't know if this is jazz but it's giving me jazz. Diner Coffee. it's burnt.



punching holes in my little flat to these drops, it's the dubstep one, lemme tell u this is how to get nastie
