As a cis male, I find this post to be so true. And you're never done trying to unfold this socialization.
The 'fun' part is when you start to unwind the really deeply rooted parts and question how much of you is socially conditioned reflex. Blegh. Really wish I'd just been lucky enough to be born at a point where society had moved past this shite.
you shouldn't be trying to unfold it, it's not super practical, you need to focus on folding the rest of your clothes first. If we don't socialize children correctly, we can never truly fix this problem, but we're at a point where we can still fix the majority of this problem in younger children and men right now. We can worry about the holdouts later.
Younger men and children as they age out can be a massive force to push this change as well. It only takes a few people to change the minds of hundreds of others.
