This is like "A woman's value is in her beauty and her reproductive potential"

It's complete and utter bullshit being peddled to us all by marketing firms looking to make money off our insecurities.

It's propaganda. It's not men telling this to women. It's not women telling this to men.

It's coming from one place. One of the mechanisms tasked to create industry to bilster the economy in a predatoey capitalist system.

You men are being preyed upon. You men need to wise up and reject this narrative. You're the only ones who can do it.

Keep that spine stiff and reject bullshit marketing propaganda. You don't have to validate your manhood to anyone but yourself. It lands along the spectrum wherever it feels comfortable to you. It's entirely unique to you and part of ehat makes you special and unique from every other human on the planet.

Nobody else gets a say. That's not their business.

I'll say one more thing on this. Men want to be seen as protectors and providers, a narrative that women are also rejecting for various reasons.

Let me ask you men this. If you can't protect the integrity of your own personhood from marketing campaigns, how can you be counted on to protect anyone else? Don't you think k you'd be equally as unlikely to spot or understand the real threats? If you can't acknowledge what's threatening you because you're too busy dancing to it's tune?
