gender is parts biology & sociology. we can fault the merciless standards that masculinity places on men but what can we do about it?
men holding back emotionally comes from women's ill attitudes towards vulnerability. women mostly view emotional men as weak or turn to use vulnerable moments against men during disagreements. that's what has taught men to hold back.
plus, men are hardwired fixers and most times, our feelings do not matter. we have the thankless job of getting things done & fixing sh*t & that's all that matters.
i wrote a piece less than a month ago about how i felt: how i wanted to hold a female & cry. venting it on paper helped me. hated posting it but my mom texted to say a lot of encouraging stuff. about how i should live, & be myself & live.
i love your fanhood of lamar. i am a lamar "worshipper" & he's one of the most authentic, one of the truest artists of our generation. hope to be more like him.
Immediately I saw what the sarcasm in the title, I knew what it was all about. Real post from a real man if you ask me. "They depised Ebun, they didn't like that he spoke the truth"
Oh, brilliant write up. I saw the note you posted yesterday and at first I was taken aback by the title, but I believed you'd blow my mind away, which you did.
It's truly funny how society has moulded a destructive image of what "a man" should be and it's deeply saddening how some people still conform to this image.
I think you'll love a friend's take on masculinity and it's evolution...
I am a woman but I feel so pumped up to go and act like a man- real to herself 😩😭😂
I love this. Welldone ❤️
Thank you

Nothing we can do that not allow ourselves to be defined or limited by the standards.
This was a good read, especially coming from a man.
I don't want a real man. I want one that can cry, clean, cook, and wash. 😁😁
Beautiful writeup
The poem even better
I appreciate you

Real men don't cry, they weep!
Matt 11:35 "JESUS wept"
Yessssss
Their true strength comes from their power to handle their emotions.
As a female, from my perspective,
How would you want a man that doesn't cry or show emotions?, that's how you know a fake man because are you not human?
I don’t know how anyone can deal with a robotic human

I’ll definitely check it out.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. And for not judging the book by its cover😂
Yeah it’s sad how many young men are chasing shadows in the hope of being “man enough.”
Thank you, Esther ❤️
