Lets face it, whenever we hear about someone challenging gender roles, it usually looks like this. Or maybe even this.
Now, Im not here to rant about guyliner but Id like to strongly propose that revolutionary gender non-conformity should involve addressing, challenging, and changing the most common -- and most dangerous -- male behaviors.
With that in mind, here are 10 radically simple ways men can get started right now:
1.) Dont rape and dont be a rape apologist (99.8 percent of those in prison for rape in the United States are men and 0 percent of these rapists committed their atrocity because the victim was asking for it).
2.) Dont murder women (or men or children or, basically, everyone).
3.) Dont be a pedophile.
4.) Dont physically or emotionally assault your domestic partner.

(20,176 posts)1.) I have a girlfriend?
2.) My girlfriend likes pornography and wants us to watch it together? (She also watches it alone without me...it's not really my thing.)
3.) My girlfriend enjoys BDSM? (I only engage in BDSM play for her benefit. I get nothing from it at all.)
4.) My girlfriend would break up with me if I suddenly and unilaterally changed the dynamics of our relationship to conform to what some random journalist on the internet claimed regarding gender roles?
None of those seems like much of a stretch in terms of being believable.

(68,868 posts)Because you say so? I think not.
Why are you threatened by my desire to someday marry both of the women I love?
That was back when you were holding yourself out to be too much man for one woman to handle, etc etc, and labeling those who opposed legalizing polygamy as "polyphobes."
and claiming to have been 'born poly,'

As I said, cool story, bro.

(20,176 posts)1.) I am poly. I am however only talking about one of those relationships at the moment.
2.) I don't have any desire to marry anybody, let alone multiple people; I just believe that those who want to marry more than one person should be able to
3.) Never claimed to be too much for one woman (In fact, my primary partner has more partners than I do. She's also the kinky porn-loving girlfriend I am referring to.); it's more the opposite of that. I think it's problematic and impossible to expect someone to fulfill your every romantic need or to believe that you can fulfill someone's every romantic need.
4.) I do believe that we were born this way.
5. ) I do think those people are polyphobes.
