This tweet from Twitter user @Allief0rnia is going on a week old, but she proposes a scenario so woke that it’s taken the rest of Twitter some time to process her thoughts and respond — and those responses are still rolling in.
Here’s the deep thought at hand that’s garnered more than 2,000 likes since it was posted:
Imagine if men centered their masculinity on caring for animals, gardening and maintaining some nice plants, beekeeping, having a clean home, reading books, building tables..literally anything besides destruction and power

Hmm … men caring for animals and maintaining plants? Sounds like …
Farming.
You've invented farming.
Now please bear some guy six children and cook his food and clean his clothes while he fixes the plow at the forge and then gets the fields tilled.
(to be clear: I'm 100% serious that this is a good idea for both parties) https://t.co/drixMkvVUr

Literally, most of this falls under FARMING. (cleaning animal houses def would) https://t.co/tchqjXJ526

Every conservative man I know has done or actively does this. I'm sorry you don't know better men. https://t.co/5qw6nJJXmE

Good news: you don't have to imagine this, you can just open your eyes and look around. https://t.co/EMXw6FEf3M

There are men who live like this, generally in red States. https://t.co/maxeqhIbza

A lot of men are already like this. They're called "productive members of society." Perhaps you could learn something from them. https://t.co/eJLGU77f8K

Have you… have you ever met a man?
I'm thinking not. https://t.co/ugYR9QQ4tC

Uhm… men do all those things already… ? https://t.co/iBYWv8QOKN

I honestly do not know what's stupider about this thread, the fact that most of those things that she lists are already traditionally masculine or the idiots that respond to her and don't realise said things are traditionally masculine.
You guys need to get out of the city https://t.co/iT5PDyoqt9

I don't have any exact numbers on beekeepers, but anecdotally it seems to be majority men. So I dunno what to tell ya. https://t.co/ZJN5tOruXN— Vincent Slater ❌ (@slatermaus) April 18, 2018
But beekeeping. Imagine if men centered their masculinity on beekeeping.
Wait. Beekeeping? https://t.co/nTy8hQCUoB

And building tables.
One time while conquering south east Asia and razing every town in my path I took some time to build a table
I never looked back after that https://t.co/M26AOMLTb7

Maybe Allie needs to refine her idea of “men.” Imagine if men centered their masculinity on literally anything besides destruction and power.
I imagine they'd be conquered or killed by real men. https://t.co/I4i2sx2E2r

The nation of gardeners, housekeepers, and beekeepers would be invaded by a tribe of fierce, warlike, powerful men who would kill the gardener men and take their homes and women. https://t.co/hJmmJ5PeyE

To find these men, travel to your nearest coffee shop and listen to their coffee orders. When you hear a man asking for a soy latte, you've found the beta you are looking for. https://t.co/51FJQHXAiY

I built a bird table and I positioned it in the front garden next to the beehive and the roses I'd grown. I watched from my freshly vacuumed house, whilst I was reading a book, as my female neighbour drove into it trying to back out of our shared driveway.#WednesdayWisdom https://t.co/Cn6Mgfi3Qf

None of those are exclusive to destruction and power. I love building, growing, and reading.
I also enjoy shooting, blowing things up, and self-defense principles. https://t.co/ClvSu6K7GL

I like animals, building things, AND have an insatiable lust for destruction and power.

I like to lift weights and do Latin dancing. I do this because it keeps my mind off wanting to unite the tribes, invade China, and destroy central Asian and eastern European empires. https://t.co/nvlwRf6SOo

I tried to reply to this with a witty comment but I destroyed my keyboard. then I smashed the desk. then i broke through the wall and ran through the hills screaming, covered in blood. then i went on an endless rampage, journeying many miles and murdering, using my power https://t.co/RwO01De0bT

If you dont love me at my destruction and power you don't deserve me at my maintaining nice plants https://t.co/sq0bkuzXPE

When you think about it, men can do lots of cool stuff, including building tables and gardening:
Like building cities, forging civilization out of the wilderness, mapping the stars, discovering electricity, feeding the world, sailing the globe, splitting the atom, defending their kin…
And maybe, once in a while, woman with problem glasses could stop and say, "thank you" https://t.co/6cVsSxQpoC

As long as we’re just imagining here, let’s go for it.
Imagine if women stopped trying to be men https://t.co/eRcWzypmoK

Imagine if women centered their femininity on something other than complaining about how men actualize their masculinity. https://t.co/P6IORu9b6H
— Incoherent Thoughts (@Manathemist) April 18, 2018
Imagine if people like this centered their femininity on building others up, afirming the wonderful differences between people, being kind towards people, helping people in need, aknowledging the great contributions that males have made in this world, anything but male bashing. https://t.co/UvYZkWTnwM

Imagine if women centered their femininity on caring for children, gardening and maintaining flowers, sewing and weaving, housekeeping, building families… Literally anything besides destruction of the family unit and modern feminism. https://t.co/1QqkgDwWl2

Imagine if women centered their femininity on hunting, science and math, fixing cars and trucks, roofing and other construction jobs, enjoying professional sports, building tables… literally anything besides bitching and crying about dumb shit. https://t.co/PZ0JHYDBHe
