This week’s prompt is: Do you feel pressured to be a useful man?
Thought I’d start off this weekly discussion thing with an old discussion post from when we were quite a bit smaller. Put another way: How does your understanding of utility inform your own and other folk’s perceptions of masculinity?
This post will stay pinned until next week’s discussion post.
Being useful is tightly tied to my identity, if I didn’t believe I was being useful, I’d feel shame and guilt and try to find a way to provide value to my community.
