Fear of masks by men

[kairos12]

Toxic masculinity is both hostile and fragile.

Lethal combination.

1. Maybe if they carry a plastic squirt gun, they'll feel better about the mask

They can pretend that they are "manly" stick-up men.

2. And a cowboy hat, hoping nobody will notice that they're

all hat and no cattle.

3. I don't fear masks, but I don't like them either.

In the last 100 days I've been out of the house for shopping 3 times, and I've worn a mask every single time. But, it seems like every time I wear a mask I end up hyperventilating until I get light headed. As soon as I'm out of the store I remove the mask and then have to sit in my car for 5 or 10 minutes to get my breathing rate back to normal.

(Since I live by myself it's pretty easy to grocery shop for a whole month in the same cart that a family of four fills for one week, so I have no intention of going out more than once a month.)

4. Do you have to use that term?

It ranks right there with "radical feminist" and "Muslim terrorist", in my book. I'm perfectly fine with using the term "jackass" to describe anybody of either gender who refuses to wear a mask at this dangerous time.
