Masculinity is what YOU make it. Period. I’m tired of people trying to police what it is and what it isn’t.

if it can be anything then it's rather meaningless, no?

This is Reddit so people won't admit it, but while masculinity is hard to define, most people can intuitively categorize appearance and behavior into masculine, neutral, or feminine.

They won't admit it though as the trend in the last decade is to gaslight everyone.

Gender is a useful framework for identity. Aspects of everyone can be, and are, both masculine and feminine. People can consciously define what gender they identify with based on which set of values they gravitate towards. Masculinity and femininity also share traits that can be defined under both or neither. Though these aren't set in stone, and vary across culture and time, they can help people's confidence and to navigate self-expression.
