William Prindle

“One of the core dangers of the toxic form of masculinity rampant in our culture is that it smothers difference and distinction. It flattens us into tropes and caricatures. It mandates adherence to a narrow orthodoxy of acceptable masculine traits and behaviors. It offers a kind of blunt confidence in belonging, a shelter from ambiguity, and takes in return nuance, feeling, and real freedom for exploring, defining, and expressing our own identities.”
― Jarod K. Anderson, Something in the Woods Loves You
