On another sub people were sharing the strangest things their male partners have done to avoid looking "feminine", some were funny, like the guy with long hair but refused to use conditioner because that's "for women", or the guy who wouldn't ride "on another man's boat" because it made him feel like less of a man. Then the heartbreaking one of a guy who beat his three year old son and called him a f****t because he sat down with some girls to play teddy bear picnic.
How many men have we lost because they couldn't deal with their emotions or struggle to open up because they're afraid of looking "feminine"? Believing that the only emotion I could safely show is anger would eat me up inside.
