A woman's take on masculinity

This is an unenlightened piece. Still stuck in "it's really all men's fault". Derp. NO taking of responsibility on the part of a woman at all. Look at all that "righteously angry" crap lol 

But I appreciate her trying hehe.

Honestly though.. it's like she's saying all the right things, but then explaining it all the wrong way. Uggh 

I have found it helpful to try and think of most conflicts as my fault and my responsibility. Not in the way of a supplicatiing bitch but in the way like what goes down in battle is the fault and responsibility of the commanding officer, which is to say assuming responsibility even when it's not really my fault. When I look at things this way I usually find that there is indeed something in my power that I can do to appease a situation. Normally it's something ego-related that's standing in the way of letting something go. Occasionally it's an issue that requires steadfast resolve. Either way, my responsibility. 

I think you realize  for the most part you're preaching to the choir, and yes of course to a large degree it's men that need to step up and handle their business. But when you already understand that.. go ahead and take another look at the article. 

In the end it's still just another backwards way of putting pussy on a pedestal. Taking all the responsibility, still being chivalrous, women not having any wrongdoing or blame or improvements to make...

Men are very good at martying themselves. Women take advantage of this. Ruby I could see in you the propensity to martyr yourself to "make it all work". 

Martyring in the sense that I take on responsibility and carry the cross for wrongdoings upon women by lesser men that came before me? If that's what you mean then fuck-no
