The disclaimer: I am totally....

BUT

I definitely DO NOT relate to the usual stereotype of masculinity. I find it boring. Actually, 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.

I think proto-Taoist Yīnyáng Theory provides us with a marvellous model for us to get over this binary-dualism.

Also, another fun little fact: apparently in pre-Victorian England it was traditional to dress newborn boys in pink and girls in blue...!!!!! Go figure!
