Boys do not stop feeling powerful because we tell them power is dangerous.
Girls do not stop influencing because we tell them to be agreeable.

Energy doesn’t negotiate with slogans.

Masculinity isn’t toxic.
Femininity isn’t fragile.
But when either is suppressed instead of shaped, instability follows.

The question isn’t how to eliminate masculine traits.
It’s how to guide them — without shame.

This is not an attack on feminism. It’s not a backlash. It’s not nostalgia for some imaginary past where everyone knew their place and liked it. It’s an attempt to name something many people feel but hesitate to say out loud: that a movement born to correct real injustices may now be struggling with what happens after success.
