Girls, how would you define masculinity?

[aStrangeMemory]

What does it look like in appearance and attitude? Is it attractive to you or do you find it overbearing?

[SueShe]

The association with the word "masculinity" is not a pleasant one for me because those are the words that automatically come up to my mind when I hear them.

toxicity, abuse, perversion, misuse, misogyny, exploitation, catcalling and a good dozen other rather negative terms.

Those are all expressions I had to endure in the presence of men and I have a rather negative view of them in terms of how they treat and perceive women. We are still seen as objects and are only good to be sexualized and objectified and to be discarded after use.

There are probably exceptions but I did not come across them, mainly in my age group where they are dominated by their hormones and act accordingly.

Simple, I don't.
