  • Not Walking 500 More

    Masculinity can be toxic when it starts preaching that every half-open door must be walked through, or, worse, shoved open, in order to prove some point about testosterone or fortitude. I think it’s pretty obvious by now that much of my writing is quiet, indirect trolling of certain masculine assumptions. I do it for my amusement, but also out of a sort of revenge...revenge for younger me and the mistakes I made because I believed masculinity’s expectations and assumptions.
