Title: The False Notions of Masculinity on the Right When we talk about masculinity, the image that comes to mind is that of a tough, stoic man who is unafraid to take charge. However, the right-wing seems to have created their own absurd version of this image. They have weaponized masculinity to justify their actions and it's not working. The recent uproar over Senator Josh Hawley's tweet is a perfect example of the false notions of masculinity on the right. The tweet was a shameless attempt to get attention by attacking the corporate establishment. But instead of providing any kind of substantive criticism, he just spewed out vitriol. This kind of behavior is not what real masculinity is about. Real masculinity is about being confident, calm, and assertive. It's about taking responsibility and being accountable for your actions. It's about respecting others and working together towards a common goal. But the right seems to have a completely different view of masculinity. Their view of masculinity is based on aggression and domination. They believe that masculinity is about being the loudest voice in the room, attacking anyone who disagrees with you, and refusing to back down. This is not masculinity. It's just cowardly behavior. The right seems to think that masculinity is patriarchal in nature, where a man needs to be in control of everything. However, this is a complete misinterpretation of gender roles. Real masculinity is not about dominating women or being superior to them. It's about treating them with respect and equality. In conclusion, it's time for the right to reevaluate their false notions of masculinity. Real masculinity is not about aggression or domination, but about confidence, responsibility, and respect for others. It's time for the right to stop using masculinity as an excuse for their cowardly behavior and instead embrace true masculinity. Shrieking on Twitter is not a masculine virtue.
