    Yes, I understand your point about femininity and masculinity not being opposites on a scale - that’s what you said in your first comment.

    My point was simply that most of the men I’ve met don’t share your view that they aren’t two sides of a sliding scale. Again, that’s likely regional and portrays my lived experience.

    Does that adequately portray the anecdotal aspect?

      It’s better because instead of asserting men as a whole feel one way about masculinity, you’re leaving room for men that feel differently when you say “most of the men I’ve met”.
