Eliminating Emasculation

It’s possible that those who aren’t exposed to the vast range of what masculinity can look like, will attempt at diminishing those who possess unconventional constructions of it. This type of disparagement is called emasculation. Oxford Languages describes emasculation as an instance in which a man is “deprived of his male role or identity.” As discussed, in a previous post, a man is not a function of what he does or does not do. Moreover, his utility is not limited to someone else’s narrow perspective of how they should identify. If someone tries to do this, encourage them to educate themselves.
