But, you know, screw those patriarchal symbols. If I were to be a warrior, I wouldn't need to give up my female traits. I'd totally sport a pair of breasts while swinging my sword or shooting someone with a bow.

Femininity is not weak and should not be seen as something not to fear by those that would harm.

I guess I'm saying, these are my feels this morning.

@Ulfra_Wolfe Ya know... screw it, I WILL +1 this.

Because TBH my own spin on masculinity is explicitly -boyish- and not a far cry from, say, the redneck doing stupid daredevil shit in an ATV or chewing up a Carolina Reaper on a dare. (look it up, those peppers are MEAN!)

And that almost amounts to a deferral of authority in some ways. Leave the power dynamics to those who want a part in that, ya know?

@KawaSeadrake I'm not sure I could chew up a Carolina Reaper, but I mean, I'd probably try just to see if I could. Does that count?

@Ulfra_Wolfe It counts for however you'd see it ^.=.~

And... I -want to-, though I'd probably HELLA regret it minutes after the fact, lol

@KawaSeadrake @Ulfra_Wolfe I relate to this a surprising amount.
