What is "precarious manhood?"
It's. One of the more interesting sociological concepts I've come across recently is the concept of precarious manhood. And I came across this it was the introductory article to, I think, an American Psychiatric Association publication, if I'm correct. And what Precarious manhood suggests is that the social status of men is not automatically granted to them, but must be continuously earned and proven through what we see as masculine behaviors and achievements
I just ran across, I thought I would, you know, reply, precarious manhood. I wouldn't know anything about it as far as the manhood and the masculinity. You just are you do what you do. You take care of your family. You good to your wife and children. You know, you you protect, you help out wherever you can, whether it's someone you know or someone you don't know, that's about it

I feel like I may be kind of rambling at the moment, but did just want to try and clarify a little bit on what I meant by that. I think it's a really interesting conversation, and I think it's one that needs to be discussed because manhood is so often a social construct. Like you even said, femininity and masculinity is all made up. I agree
Okay. I've absolutely never qualified for anything regarding manhood masculinity. I mean, if the subject comes up, not many men are going to sit and, you know, like, actually think about it because really we don't you I just wish people would do one thing when it comes to male masculinity
They might be a little more attractive to the people that they're trying to be attractive to if women truly like a more, for lack of a better word, masculine man, whatever that means. These days there's certain things that men do that you have to do. And I'm not talking about because society says so. It's because you are the bigger out of you and the lady

And when you say that the conversation about toxic masculinity is not being had in the queer community, I would encourage you to seek out the queer community in your city and listen to what they talk about, because they absolutely do discuss that. I encourage you to get into those conversations and into that community to better understand the problems that they deal with, because it is very much a conversation for them
