I 100% agree with this. Unfortunately it's also one of those things that a lot of people say but don't really mean. Like when they say it's OK for men to cry.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Oh this man cries, often. And this man thinks it’s completely natural, acceptable, and often enjoyable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

It's definitely OK for men to cry. Or, it's equally not okay for a woman to cry than a man. Lol

I totally cry.

I also tend to give gifts when I see something a friend would swoon over, and giving gifts for Christmas is weird.

I also don't really care about my masculinity or if I'm seen as sufficiently manly.
