Does positive masculinity exist? Men correct the woman.

All traits can be either. That's just completely besides the point I was trying to make.

I wanted to try to give some examples of things men might adopt as positive examples in place of the toxic ones, and role models for such traits. I wanted to focus on positive behaviors instead of all the threads focusing on the negative ones.

This is in opposition to the toxic masculinity thread. We are discussing masculinity. Men can be empathic, and nurturing, traits generally associated with women, as I said in my OP. Few things should be genderized. Which I thought was clear in my op. That's the point of this entire post, if anyone bothered to actually read past the first few lines. Men can have what are often viewed as feminine traits and still be strong men.

Again, just thought I'd try and be positive about men instead of shitting all over them. Lesson learned.

Ha, in this environment good luck. Of course you are 100% right. Men have 10,000% more testoserone that women. They are more likely to be violent but more likely to be heroic too.

Of course women can do all the things men can and vice versa. But to use that as some sort of argument against positive traits that come up more frequently in men (as your critics have done in this thread) is absurd and shallow minded, and goes against all the evidence we have on the subject.
