...is the antithesis of toxic masculinity.
Since the world has been built on patriarchy and the denial of women's rights, anything that challenges the dominant orthodoxy must eliminated, with violence if necessary.
Sam Elliott is so angry because his worldview, the same worldview that has informed the power structure of the last 30,000 years, is constructed on the fundamental myth of the superiority of male dominance and male violence.
This is in essence why Putin is levelling Ukraine
This is in essence why we leveled Iraq and Afghanistan.
It is this denial of the basic duality of existence that is bringing us to the brink of annihilation.
We need both masculine and feminine energies to survive. One is not superior to the other. We need to acknowledge them both in our being. That is unless we completely leave duality at the door and embrace a oneness of universal consciousness. Most of us are not equipped to make that revelatory leap.
Women's rights are human rights.
Gay rights are human rights.
Rights are not given, nor can they be taken away, except by those who live in Sam Elliot's twisted violent world of make believe.
