Moody Monday: masculinity

[mellowtigger]

Today's controversial post for Moody Monday is masculinity, ranging from toxic to nurturing.

Rather than comment, though, I encourage everyone to read this opinion piece, "Men are lost. Here’s a map out of the wilderness." (free archive copy) in the Washington Post. It'll take a while to read, because it's very long. It's also very useful, from first paragraph to last.

Re: my badly organized thoughts

I'd known about the misunderstanding that autistic people don't have empathy, but I hadn't heard of the "extreme male" part of it. Yikes!

LOL I hear ya on the badly organized! I'm slowly writing up a post about insecure attachment, parenting styles, how two supposed opposite things can be true at the same time, etc. It's all over the place ^_^
