I would love to not be made fun of for drinking Mike's Hard Lemonade and Smirnoff Ice

Thanks for replying Audio. Enough for what? For general acceptance? I'd agree with that; being a good human independent of gendered traits should be enough for general acceptance by others, although you can't force that stance on people. My thing isn't about that though, it's about internal understanding and growth. What's the difference between being a boy and a man? What unique challenges, experiences, connections, and legacy does it bring up? In my life, I don't encounter much about manhood in the general public that's explicit or positive. Without healthy guidelines (not a mandatory ruleset, per se), I feel like a lot of guys are going to be lost, hurt, or hurt others, also without a good reason.

It could be argued that being a “man” or a “woman” is being human. Being human is being the person you describe for yourself and being true to yourself no matter what people think because no one can truly define “you”. Not everyone will accept you but all the more reason to love the ones who do and love them for who they are too.

Because these were written with feeling, not precise accuracy or with the view to be male and female counterparts. They're just some thoughts :D

Why does the post for men start with a requirement for men and the post for women start with a commandment for men?

Ian Parrish

Having pre-determined ideals of what manhood is and what womanhood is exactly why we have these issues today. Isn't being a good human enough? We shouldn't live up to some societal ideal or be outcast. IMHO, it all comes down to respecting yourself, and respecting others.

Yeah! Why shouldn't I be allowed to order a piña colada with cherry on a plastic sword if I want to?

AudioFreak

Things change.

Man should be masculine and women should be feminine that how it should always be stop trying to gender values

Black.Devil

There's absolutely nothing wrong with being masculine, and I don't believe my post said there was. I was simply saying that there's nothing wrong with being who you actually are. Be a masculine man, be a feminine man, be somewhere in between, just live the life that's authentic for you. And let's just let people be who they are. A stifled existence is not a happy one. Let people be who they are and let's not see it as a failure of masculinity or femininity if we don't fit the exact mould. We're not ideas, we're people :)

Yeah alright maybe if your with your woman, but if you come to the bar talking about getting pegged in the ass and all your emotional problems while wearing a dress. Dont be surprised if you dont get invited drinking or golf or what have you. Theres nothing wrong with being masculine.

Logan sackett

I agree tho, I think it needs to be clear that there is nothing wrong with being masculine, like driving a truck, or playing football. As long as these interests are ones that we choose for are self and not forced onto us by parents or others.

Sean Keller

I think you're worthy of being pegged, man. Hang in there.

Thank you so much for putting this. I’ve been made fun of and made feel less because I’m not as aggressive like the stereotypical man but inside knew the truth about how much better kindness is. It still hurts that many look down on me for being less aggressive but I appreciate your wise words and please spread this out

This doesn't vibe with me :/. There's a focus nowadays on dismembering gender values, because social restrictions that work against someone's nature can cause unnecessary suffering. Might'nt they also be a source of support, structure, identity? A guide and a foundation? The support message isn't trying to destroy anything, it's support for men who want to do "unmanly" things by some definition, but what is supposed to be manly in the first place? What are we expanding from? Manhood feels vague and neglected, and with no differentiation between being a good man, and being a good HUman, it feels like it's nothing at all. Sorry for introducing ripples. No disrespect is intended to anyone. I think it's just a "different ills need different medicines" situation on my part.

I agree. (While I am currently holding in emotions to the point it's considered emotional torture by a therapist.) But let everyone be who they wanna be stop fucking judging. Unless it harms someone like pedos, rapists, etc.

Timothy Shaw

I like this, give me liquor and do things to me

Bearr

And just like that, my day is better. Thank you for having our backs Tea, we appreciate it.

Jared Chinchello

I don't think that there is much of a set of values or certain qualities that being a man comes with. To me being a man is simply to be an adult male, it's just about technicality

Jakoporeeno

You make me happy Tea. Your content and your infective positivity.

Michael J Mancuso

It'll take a long time for this thinking to be widespread. Stay strong till then

Mari-chan

The Queen has spoken. Also, thank you.

Blindluck92

This is so true!! More people should see that!

"Let men wear pink. Let men get pegged in sex." Damn that took a sharp turn. 😆 Fully agree though.

Dalton Remy
