But when it comes to what we as a culture think of as masculine and feminine - well, the women have challenged and looked at and are discussing what is feminine, it is how we got the right to vote, how we got any and all of the gains to equality we have achieved in the last 125 years, but many men refuse to do the same. And they refuse to acknowledge that the refusal to even look at what is masculine and what is part of patriarchal power structure is harming men, it is harming women, it is harming society.
And this made me LOL:
we are challenging men to get a masculine culture where men knows how to use their opposable thumbs
That sentence goes exactly to the old boys-will-be-boys arguments that so many of them use to justify their lack of self control when a provocative looking woman is around or on a magazine cover. No, it's not boys-will-be-boys, it's a culture that says it's OK for men to behave like 11 year old's in regards to women.
