Being a man, to me, means being a strong leader (if you can be), standing up for others, especially those who are vulnerable, standing against oppression, bigotry, intolerance, and especially fascism. It means processing your emotions, being vulnerable when needed, and not bottling everything up turning into anger and bitterness. It means being comfortable and strong enough to cry, showing emotion, and you will always feel better and clearer after. It means treating people with kindness, love, respect, and tolerance. It means learning about people different than you, their wants, their needs, their rights. It takes strength to do all these things. "This is how I fight."
Bottling up emotions isn't being a man, it's being a coward, and it's self-destructive turning you into a bitter mess. It's being too scared to express how you feel, and of how other weak men perceive you.
Wow, look at this hateful gatekeeping bigotry, from an admin no less
👏 BEING 👏 A 👏 MAN 👏 IS 👏 IDENTIFYING 👏 AS 👏 A 👏 MAN 👏
