    I was so taken out of it, I thought they may have just been using queer in the context of irregularity but then they hit me with “drones could give people gender anxiety” and I didn’t know where I was anymore lol

    It’s almost an interesting train of thought, but war isn’t inherently masculine, and I think it’s a pretty undeserving concept once you consider external factors that drive people to conflict. This feels like it views masculinity solely through the lens of what is more accurately described as toxic masculinity, where the image of maleness is based in some combatitive quantity.

      They seem to think that ideas have sexual preferences, and that the opposite of masculine is gay. Some of the most masculine men I have met were gay.
