Who are some writers that will better help me develop my masculinity?

For the redditor queer types, masculinity is characterized through

1. Homophobia
2. Self-reliance
3. Sexual success (hetero)
4. Financial and social rank
5. Physical strength
6. Integrity

No. This is a poisonous feminine attitude that's been bred in you by the comforts of consumer society and managerial liberalism. It needs to be stamped out. Competition matters. Awareness of competition and one's competitive standing matter.

There is no such as opting out of social competition. Regardless of how many dandelions you pick in the outfield, you are still going to be a winner or a loser. And I think it's quite obvious why you prefer picking dandelions to looking at the scoreboard...

I do not think masculinity is a bad thing like feminists say, or that it is "toxic". I view it as something flawed. But there are benefits to masculinity like being able to handle responsibility, or learning how to be a leader.

I think masculinity is about standing up to a feminised bureaucratic society based on slave morality and cultural marxism. Consensus reality, the limits of what's acceptable and what's thinkable, defined by nepotistic cliques of heavily jewish cosmopolitan managers and journalists. These 'people' want to reduce humanity to a homogenous mass of genderless, raceless and cultureless debt cattle fed on mass culture and processed foods. that's a fact. I wonder why they feel so threatened by' toxic masculinity'? I read the new york times and vox every morning, I read the washington post. Why? so I can get into the heads of these people, spend the rest of the day becoming everything that takes away your sleep at night. I see my subjective existence as a weapon to be perfected. Every time I see an 'lgbt pride rainbow' i start foaming at the mouth and shaking with murderous rage. Guess that just means I'm normal and good at resisting cultural marxist indoctrination. most people would agree with me, but they are afraid to speak their minds due to political correctness. seriously, if you are ''trans'', if you are a homosexual, I WILL regard you as an Enemy. Only an Enemy would want to destroy you.

all the land and money is owned by men and feminists are butthurt about the patriarchy.
It is natural for alpha men to be conquers and leaders of men.
If women ran the world we would still be living in mud huts. White men conquered the entire planet and the moon.
The languages everyone speaks are European. The lingua franca is English. The second most spoken is Spanish.

Of course there is war. Its diffrent alpha men fighting each other trying to be the most alpha. Stalin was alpha as fuck, he ice picked that little kike beta trotsky. Hitler was alpha as fuck. he rose up from extreme poverty as an artist and became leader of his nation and almost conquered the whole of western europe.

and before the patriarchy there was a matriarchy. and after the patriarchy there'll probably be some kind of mechiarchy with the machines in charge and all of this will be so peripheral to the general misery we won't be discussing it (unless women can save mankind)

why would we be living in mud huts? a woman can tell a man to build as well as a man can. and if there were no women would men bother to do any of this? really women have all the power.

scratch a liberal/leftist/transperson and you will find they are always deeply pessimistic about human nature/hate life and themselves see history as nothing but a bad dream to be forgotten and the future as a void empty of all hope. They are ashamed of existing and being human and want to drag everyone down to their level of untermenschood and self loathing. there's nothing more revolutionary than reactionary vitalism: the idea that life is worth living and there is an Immortal Cause worth dying for. the unapologetic affirmation of life warts and all. use the past to build a bridge to the future and resurrect forgotten dreams of glory. you might say I'm cruel, sadistic, but i think I'm an angel of mercy, releasing the weak from their suffering.If liberals/anarchists/communists 2018 AD had any fucking guts, they'd be Fascists. I've come to think of fascism as a natural immune response that kicks in whenever things get too degenerate. many people who saw hitler in person said there was something unnervingly inhuman, perhaps divine about the Fuhrer.

You're right about all but homophobia. Casual sex with attractive young men is the height of masculinity. Though of course that's not to say you adopt the whole homosexual lifestyle with its feminine affectations.

Healthy habits are going to turn you into a better man than reading about any idealized notion of masculinity ever will. Lift, eat healthy, be productive, and be social. Do those things and you'll be more of a man than 90% of people walking around. Reading men will never turn you into one.

>Dude look at me i am such a big boy alpha male.
Are you honestly this fucking retarded. Those classifications are not applicable on human beings, we are not just instinct and hunter-gatherers.
Anyways, how are integrity and sexual success both qualities of the masculine man?
Or by sexual success, you mean having a wife and kids, which is a good thing?

Tolstoy was a queer.

>"I have never been in love with a woman,” the entry read, “but I have quite often fallen in love with a man. . . . I fell in love with a man before I knew what pederasty was. . . . Beauty has always been a powerful factor in my attractions; there is D—, for example. I shall never forget the night we left Pirogovo together, when, wrapped up in my blanket, I wanted to devour him with kisses and weep. Sexual desire was not totally absent, but it was impossible to say what role it played."

>He seems to have felt there was something holy in submission to Chertkov’s will, but the bond wasn’t strictly spiritual. Chertkov liked to keep plenty of handsome peasant youths nearby; as a young man, Tolstoy had written that he’d loved only men, and never women. He worried, pathetically, about Chertkov not loving him enough, even as friends and family wondered how such a great man could love such a cad.

>In one letter, Tolstoy wrote Chertkov that they loved each other "unlawfully, more than brotherly."
