We aren't expected to grow up. We're actually expected to stay insecure children. and too many of us fall to this low expectation rise, we are more than this.
aye, iv found that our cultures idea of a strong man is not healthy. a strong man is one who can stand on his own with an open heart. its our job to give strength to our communities and our loved ones by being okay with ourselfs, and supportive of others. a warrior is a man who's first priority is the health of his tribe.
I'd say only if his tribe is concerned with his health as well. Reciprocity is great but not if it compromises freedom.
absolutely, by tribe im mean loved ones. in this day and age that is all we can do, take care of ourselves and our loved ones.
I don't know what you're talking about, and I'm disinclined toward this PC trend of self-deprecating masculinity. Men are dumb, men are this, men can't do this, men are cheaters, men are violent, men can't do that, men can't pick up on this or that, men are pigs, men can't express their feelings, men are less mature than women. Fucking hogwash.
I beg to differ. I like men to be men. If I wanted a woman, I'd date a woman. Facial hair, body hair, a few scars, yay! If he lives to care for his family and is someone to look up to, better! If he's willing to give me the respect of a consensual wrestling match with no holds barred but can still beat me in said match. . . I married that one. I'm just glad that our bruises were all gone by the wedding day. . I still love that most of my gay male friends complain about feminine men. They, too, like men rather than women with penises. The day that my closeted (to the military, not to us) friend called the boy (who was dramatically girlier than any of the girls present) a "fruit" to his face was to die for. The boy had a crush, but the man didn't want a girlfriend. We're okay with transsexuals and gentlemen, but for crying out loud: pick a sex or accept a halfway point. That's my political correctness for the day.
