If men cared less about being "real men" and more about being good men, we'd have a much better world.

@LiberalLibrarian While that is almost certainly true (it's hard to say *exactly*, because human civilization is a chaotic system and the butterfly effect is a bitch), I can think of some other ubiquitous behavioural/cognitive issues which seem liable to have an even larger negative impact...

Notabe examples thereof being confirmation bias (which affects everyone, with catastrophic consequences societally), selfishness, and superstitiousness/religiosity.

@IrelandTorin I remember a former coworker in my previous life, pre-librarian, who was a toxic male, and yet, unsurprisingly completely unconfident. We were young and working in the go-go world of telecom, and I made a joke that I'd steal his new girlfriend. He looked at me with pleading eyes and begged me not to do it. I mean, I was joking, badly. But that is an indication that "real men" live in a world of complete uncertainty.

@IrelandTorin I looked him up a long while ago on Xitter. To my complete unsurprise, he's a Trumpist.
