I'm trying to decide who's a better symbol for toxic masculinity, Spock or McCoy
Because Spock is like, trying to bury his emotions and feels like he's going to be somehow less a Vulcan (man) if he allows his human (feminine) side to show
But McCoy is like, constantly bullying Spock into adhering to certain social roles and expectations
@emerican IMO Only together they show the dependent contradiction of toxic #masculinity. The one side affecting how one treats others and the individual's effect on the society. While the other side represents the internal effect, the psychological one, the conditioning of oneself.
In reality there no clear border between those two, but that's what symbolism is for, right? :)
