Gag. I read the first line and then the last paragraph:

"I don't think the planet can long survive if the current conception of masculinity endures. We face political and ecological challenges that can't be met with this old model of what it means to be a man. At the more intimate level, the stakes are just as high. For those of us who are biologically male, we have a simple choice: We men can settle for being men, or we can strive to be human beings. "

Ergo, men aren't human beings. Nice.

I didn't need that. My emotional range has already narrowed enough. I think I'll go cry now.

Ignorant thinking from someone who sees the glass as half empty. Men do a lot of bad stuff in this world but also commit many noble and generous acts as well.

>> "At the more intimate level, the stakes are just as high." <<

MEN don't use the word "intimate".
