thinking about MAFSxManosphere snips and call the midwife. Rigid gender roles, class, racism. So maybe change Masculinity to Midwives. This is becoming far reaching but could be a good exercise in plotting out an idea/essay. Chip away at it. Fuck i am hungry. Nostalgia. This is the period that there is nostalgia for. And CTM makes an effort to depict the harsh realities of that time. Earlier seasons, pre-contraception and the legalisation of Abortion show how constrained life was for women. I think i don't want to directly address tradwives, i think there is enough out there and i'm not interested so much in going after women for entering into coercive and controlling relationships. I do want to be real about the coercive and controlling nature of those relationships. I think there is merit in addressing it directly to men. I come to masculinity in a roundabout way. Also bell hooks will to change all about love

Asking them if they really want to be loved only through deception. If total power over someone else is worth killing the part of them that loves. If the praise and admiration of other men who value nothing but money and image is worth the shame that's due when they are no longer able to run from seeing the damage they have done, the pain they have caused. I have arrived in masculinity by way of weird little girlhood
