It’s perfectly fine to be a “feminine” man. Young men do not need a vision of “positive masculinity.” They need what everyone else needs: to be a good person who has a satisfying, meaningful life.

Thank you my friend. It certainly wasn’t easy. But I was in therapy for other stuff already and that gave me a safe space to explore it.
Yeah I can still remember years ago my daughter getting really upset because she wanted a robot but it was in with the boys toys.
It’s not the easiest thing to explain to a child when the stereotypes are forced down their throat by TV and older family members.
Luckily the media (some elements anyway) are getting much better and breaking that divide now.
I temporarily ended my exodus from American entertainment media a couple years ago to watch Steven Universe and I couldn’t imagine such a show existing when I was a child. I can definitely agree that they’ve gotten better about gender stuff and emotional intelligence.
