I think the fetishisation of blokes with ripped muscles and 6-pack abs that the macho alpha-males glorify speaks to a kind of closet homoeroticism IMHO.

A lot of arguments could be made in support of this, haha. It definitely creates a horrendously false idea of what masculinity is.

The yinyang theory definitely would help lend to getting beyond the binary argument.

I did know that tidbit - so interesting! Things like that flip pretty often throughout history.
