This week’s prompt is: Do you feel pressured to be a useful man?
Thought I’d start off this weekly discussion thing with an old discussion post from when we were quite a bit smaller. Put another way: How does your understanding of utility inform your own and other folk’s perceptions of masculinity?
This post will stay pinned until next week’s discussion post.
While it is a big part of me, of my identity, it has nothing to do with my masculinity. I also don’t feel like it is my obligation or pressured to do something. Instead, I ask people when I see something I could easily fix. Or I just do it without telling anyone. I like fixing stuff. I hate having to use broken stuff.
