Fr I had a friend give me shit for reading Bell Hooks saying it was part of the performative male stereotype. Sorry I’m not gonna stop being a feminist because some people pretend at it for attention or whatever. it’s good shit and we should be encouraging people to dive into works like these and step away from toxic masculine thinking
