It's not enough to tell men what not to be. What is a positive vision of masculinity?*Patreon:* https://www.patreon.com/Anark*Tip:* https://cash.app/$Apeiro*...
I agree, and the creator of the video actually goes into that toward the end, suggesting that positive masculine and feminine traits are actually just universally good traits to have, and any attribution towards one being more attuned to one gender or another is an artificial social creation.
However, our shared stance on gender is still quite uncommon, I think, so the video creator is attempting to at least direct those who still hold firmly to gender roles as a concept toward a more positive outcome, instead of adopting negative traits and thinking it’s good because it “makes them a man/woman”.

They do, but there is a difference between acknowledging that men can also have feminine traits, and asking what these categories are really doing for us in the first place.
Still, I should say it’s a solid video. The concept of near enemies is very useful when thinking about any set of goals or values, and if it helps some people arrive at a healthier view of their own gender that’s great. Variety of tactics and all that.
I don’t see gender roles bringing a lot of value to the world, so I’d rather work towards rejecting them outright rather than trying to refine them.
