You know the nice part of being a very traditionally masculine person is being able to promote basic human rights without these people scaring me. Try me bro, weight classes exist for a reason.
You don't need to be the winner of violent conflict to be valid.
Yeah but it is nice to be able to defend yourself against violent people. Also as the other reply said i do appeal to certain kinds of people and maybe they wouldnt listen to a trans person about trans rights but will listen to me.
Yes, but I think the point is that strong man types do appeal to a certain demographic that they are trying to influence, not that it appeals or should appeal to themselves or the general population
No, but it certainly helps (and has helped me) in some situations if you are big guy that looks like being a coal miner (while actually being a keyboard jockey)...
I'm reminded of a clip that I've seen that originates on Tik Tok about a guy who says something similar to what you're saying here, including a clip where the guy went and shouted at a neo-nazi to basically say "you're not welcome here, fuck off".
I found it interesting because he explained that this isn't usually something he would do because he's very much a voice against toxic masculinity and this means that generally he doesn't want or need to take the role of the angry, scary man. In this instance though, of the many members of his community who were uncomfortable with a neo-Nazi spewing hate, this guy was best situated to challenge this. I found it especially interesting because there's a particular kind of aggressiveness to it — like, obviously going up to someone and shouting at them is aggressive, but it was clear that this guy wasn't going for a fight
