I've pretty much left feminism and all that stuff to the women stuff. I don't often feel welcome there and being an activist for too many things at once is just exhausting. I just care about economic stuff and trans gay and other stuff. To be honest, I find I feel most natural when I'm liking what's called tough guy stuff and macho hypermasculine stuff. Seems like a contradiction to me. The stuff like aggression and mental toughness is cool inside of fiction, but obviously not when somebody in real life has no ability to process emotions properly, or turning that aggression to abuse others.

So does feminism mean leaving behind all that stuff as individuals and as a society? But that stuff always seemed so cool to me, and stuff called masculine and conforming to that stuff feels good. Maybe it's just because of male socialization. Leaving that behind sounds like it'd suck. Couldn't it be an evolutionary change to reduce the more toxic aspects of that, and making things more balanced? There was lots of toxic things humans did during the middle ages for example, and a lot of those behaviors and mindsets were left behind. Does that mean the same thing will happen to masculinity?

What if masculinity is cool and femininity is cool and stop calling them that eventually and they just become traits that can apply to any person depending on how they express themselves. This is just hard to deal with. Plenty of people like both masculine and feminine stuff. Do men have to leave behind traditional concept of masculinity entirely to make a better world? Or will it be iterative instead of complete overhaul. Either way I guess what's most important is being a well rounded person rather than conforming to stereotypes. All this gender stuff means more freedom, and this kind of freedom can't be bad. There's nothing better than freedom besides equality.

Also will this new masculinity will be as good to watch in action movies.

I'm not sure I've read any specifically feminist literature, but I don't see what's so complicated about it from a male POV. Men can just treat women with respect. A lot of this stuff that gets called "toxic masculinity" could really be called patriarchial attitudes, no? It's about men controlling women, having power over them, telling them what to do, what to wear, and disrespecting them when they don't comply with those instructions. What kind of men are we to let those guys get away with that?

Explicitly feminist movements have their own problems and have torn themselves apart over various ideological things, but nevertheless women have formed their own groups around women's issues in history and have had it out with each other, and there may be ideological tendencies within feminist movements that positive and others that are just wrong or harmful to their cause, but I don't see why we need to interfere with that.

I think the most important thing is to remember women are just people at the end of the day

You made the right decision.
