      These people always do, you just need to convince them that it’s the honorable, manly thing to do and toxic masculinity takes care of everything else.

        yeah that’s what toxic masculinity is for that and encouraging violence in men makes it easier to convince men to do violence when the system needs that for example if your country goes to war

        I mean can you imagine trying to convince someone to die for this country by appealing to their reason and sense you wouldn’t get anywhere

          Yeah, that’s half of the point of patriarchy, convince men to take life-threatening risks for somebody else’s sake. The other is to get women to do a ton of unpaid labor that just isn’t profitable, but needs to be done because it is absolutely essential to a society’s survival, like raising kids and taking care of their elders.
