Seriously the stories I've read about dudes threatening to drive to womens house and murder them or something over rejections is insane.

Have any of the ladies here had to deal with a psychopath like that?

I don't think we have to reject the idea of masculinity altogether but I do think we have to reject our current understanding of masculinity and start over so to speak

I'm guessing we mostly agree and that at the end of the day it comes down to semantics. Not much difference between disavowing all the qualities of masculinity as understood in modern culture in favor of new positive masculinity vs disavowing masculinity itself in favor of Masculinity 2.

Sorry, when you said "something beyond" I wasn't sure what you meant so I thought I'd add my 2 cents. I completely agree with you
