This year’s midterm elections will turn on many issues. The Iran war, tariffs, inflation. Immigration, taxes, health care.
But there is another, potentially potent undercurrent in several key races that could determine control of Congress — what makes a real man?
It’s the latest example of tough-guy politics since Donald Trump brought his own version of masculinity to the trail more than a decade ago, belittling Republican rivals and defeating two Democratic women in his White House campaigns. Now many Democrats are trying to project their own manhood — or at least more confidently deflect conservatives’ attacks — as they try to return to power.


You just described basic human decency that all people should strive for. Attributing these things to masculinity is counterproductive.
Can you even name one positive masculine trait that you don’t consider universal?
No, because it’s all made up bullshit with no basis in fact. What is or isn’t “masculine” is determined entirely by the whims of society and has no meaning beyond that.
Can you name one negative
masculinefeminine trait that you don’t consider universal?Could you clarify which traits you’re thinking about?
I’m not thinking about any, I’m asking if there are any.
Did you not read a word of what I just said, or do you just not care and want to have this argument anyway? Either way it isn’t going to happen. Bad faith arguments will only get you blocked. Bye.

There’s no positive “feminine” trait that isn’t universal either.
So what differentiates the two?
???
Do they need differentiation?
Well there are two different words so I’m guessing people saw a meaningful difference.
