Anthony Mackie on fatherhood and masculinity:
"In the past 20 years, we’ve been living through the death of the American male. They have literally killed masculinity in our communities"
He's raising his sons to be 'young men' who are respectful, responsible, and protective of their family

He literally tells his 15 yr old son that he's the man of the house and needs to protect the family when he's away.

Misogyny is 🤢
I choose to believe it comes from a good place until I learn otherwise
2) Lashes out about “masculinity”
3) Embraces MAGA
We’re at step 2
Ick if true.

While I believe he means well, it’s the way he conveying shit that’s just kinda silly
Teach your kids empathy and compassion and certainly to conscious of the world around them but let them be kids.
I’m a product of this specific brand of toxic masculinity and it fucked me up. Don’t do it.
No Jordans. I’m sure many Black celebs struggle with that balance of “we’re blessed but I don’t want to raise entitled brats.” That’s what that sounds like to me.
You haven’t worked yet, but want to floss? No sir!
Emotionally healed means that there was previous damage and if that damage was a result of toxicity then you're ready to attribute that to anything that looks like what damaged you
When I tell you they get the right people for these shit roles...
Idk about the American male stuff tho, it sound kinda sus, but I don't think he's all wrong
The wider world isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
That already covers treating her mother good; no need to tell the kids to be in charge of the protection of an adult woman.
Saying that american masculinity is dying tells you other things about his views in gender roles.
He just doesn't realize lefties are prepared to drop him from a cliff at the first sign of trying to straddle the fence and MAGAts wont give him the benefit of the doubt.
The entirely fallacious notion that in order to be perceived as masculine you have to behave like an asshole (which was fabricated from whole cloth by Hollywood in the 1940s, btw) is what we are BEYOND tired of.
If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck…
I've met way too many my age who have no idea how to do basic things like change a light-fitting or measure something properly. These are what should be taught.
But, Mackies take here just sounds like waffle.
Mackie thinks evolved social norms are the death of masculinity, like masculinity is monolithic to begin with. This is the most Ben Shapiro ass line coming from Mackie of all people. Like women can’t own a fucking gun either, this is such a nothing statement.
Enough.
We are in this mess now because of sad little men.
It's also a power dynamic.
My husband did a fantastic job with our boys and our girl by teaching them all to be self sufficient.
And the masculinity he modeled for our boys was confidence, and kindness.
Bye, masculinity. See you.
