Who's Toxic Now ???

Here is an interesting essay about "toxic masculinity", which borrows archetypes from Homer's The Iliad:

Clearly, "Joe Biden" exhibits the toxic masculinity of Achilles, while his opponent on the global stage Vladimir Putin shows the gentle masculinity of Hector in his actions.

And strangely enough, our female (if I may use the term) political leaders ALSO appear to lean toward the toxic man side of the scale. Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi immediately come to mind. If anything, they make Biden look like a sissy.

For some reason, no one has yet discovered the vulnerable heels of our Achilles clones, and perhaps no one ever will. Sadly, that means we'll be trapped in the insane world they're creating for the rest of us, and neither they nor the gods will show us any mercy.
