was discussing this with a friend of mine (she's an anarchist but she actually organizes and shit). she was saying there can be no such thing as revolutionary masculinity because the two things are contradictory. but i'm a marxist so contradictions really butter my bread.
i think in a utopian, communist world gender identity would be completely different, to the point where it might not even be legible to us today, but my question is more about how we get from here to there. basically, can we men find a way to not be shitheads in such a way as to bring about communism, or does that not even make sense
feel free to dunk on me if this is a dumb question

feels important to note how ironic it all is though, same as those "the masculine urge to..." jokes
Feels like people are aware on some level that a lot of these social gender norms are more arbitrary than we pretend and irony becomes useful for sort of letting the air out of the balloon. Dropping behaviors and expectations you've been conditioned to think are the bedrock of social interaction is no easy feat, it's like untangling a line of Xmas lights that are as long as your own life
