Thank you for confirming this, it doesn’t matter from anyone’s attire/ looks and size and physicality , it’s their personality .

Thank you for your kind words. Now, on to society and change their views

Masculinity is NOT a bad word. Men are kind. They are caring. That is not Effeminite or masculine. Its Kind. Some of the best traits of a good person are "masculine" The ability to stand up for and protect our friends and those we love. The media and shit wants to paint "masculinity" as this toxic thing and it is doing TERRIBLE damage to men. because those toxic things they try to pin on masculinity is NOT what masculinity is.

This made me feel good.

I may not be effeminate, but I can still proudly say: Fuck masculinity. Bell Hooks (female psychologist) described its emotional scaring and inabilities in her book "Men, Masculinity, and Love". I haven't read it, but I know a few bits and pieces. Enough to back up my thoughts on how being masculine is a curse. Those people need our help. Thank you for sharing this, Tea. Time to get the proverbial ball rolling once more...

Lachlan Parker

Thanks Tea! That means a lot

I mean, I'm sure I can make the Strong but Gentle thing work... The kind words are much appreciated still, Tea. We don't do the compliment thing around here a lot

Sparky

I kinda needed that, thanks!

JsMaster

Be strong enough to be gentle

Tabris

Thank you Tea

Idk bro. Her making me come on her sandals doesn’t make me feel like a man.

rdimes

A man sticking his dick into a woman doesn't make him a man because they cancel eachother out. However, if a man sticks his dick in another man, then he becomes a Man². Simple biology. Lol

Dalton Remy

It's posts like this make me think the world can be better.

It is like this; If a man was a cake, would you want that cake to be bitter, and tasteless? Or would you want that cake to be sweet and full of flavor? Sex is just the icing on the cake, and finding out a man has a big dick, is like a cream filled cake. (Inuendo intended)

Drinking_Buddy

Oorah. A man is measured by the size of his heart, not his body.

Mobius176

Everytime June shows up! So does I! Thank you Tea!

Kaisel

Can I confide in you Tea?

Triston

A-fucking-men Tea. I constantly tell people that Muscles, Money, or Dick size doesn't make the man just like Beauty, Makeup, or Breast size doesn't make the woman either. It's all about who you are and what you do.

Human beings in general, women and men, should never be judged just based on their bodies. It can warp and twist your mind when you constantly stress over appearances like this. I would know from personal experience unfortunately which I'm still dealing with. But together we can all try and be more open minded and accepting of our own and each other's bodies

That's fantastic. I'm so pleased that's been the case for you. And you're absolutely correct. There's nothing wrong with guidelines, but using these as the ONLY way to be a man can be very detrimental to men's mental health and outlook on life. It's just the same with any concrete idea about any one group, so long as it's not taken as THE ONE TRUE WAY, there's nothing wrong with aligning with that idea. There's obviously nothing wrong with being a masculine man with a big penis. I truly hope that was obvious from my post. My point was YOU men define yourselves as men, not your anatomy or frequency of sex. Ultimately, there's a million positive ways to be a man, and I'm sure men would know far more about that than me. I am not a man. I will never be a man, but I really do believe that with good communication and honesty the sexes can better understand each other. As I said, the future shouldn't be gendered, just kind :)

I appreciate the kindness, and understand what you mean, but this feels more like swapping expectations than getting rid of them. IMO, expectations aren't universally bad. If they involve harm to yourself/others, or if they're for something completely out of your control, or if they're seen as THE ONLY way to be a [identity] instead of A way, then yeah that's unhealthy. But for me, I'd rather have a guideline around, and risk failing to live up to it, than have nothing at all. I think I'm just not exposed to a lot of "toxic masculinity" as it can be called. I'll count myself lucky.

NotMyName

Thank you so much for your words tea they mean i a lot thank you btw when i read this all i could think about is the Men can cry audio you did a while back they both now have a very special place in my heart thank you again Tea

Tommy Hiesto

I'm not sure what you read, but Tea didn't say she "expected" anything of men in general. She's just mentioning some of the toxic messages that are sent to men, usually on a daily basis by society. Society is constantly trying to push the idea of what a "Man" and a "Woman" should be, but we humans are not so simple a creature, especially with our varied genetic codes and lifestyles. Edit* whoops, forgot to go back and mention being kind. Sorry, Tea. But yeah, be kind! Lol

Aren’t you doing the same thing putting your expectations on man how they should be good or bad

Black.Devil

Because it sucks you dry and can bleed? 🤣

Absolutely. Those societal expectations have terrible mental effects on men who try to live up to those expectations but can’t, and people who don’t understand that, continue to press those expectations onto men, or negatively stereotype men using those expectations as weapons to push a harmful agenda, have no idea how they can and have ruined the lives of so many men. We’re human too damn it!

I like "Defenders" (2014), gets me fired up!

Thank you

June

Thanks for the kind words as always. When you read too much news and media that leads thought otherwise, you are a fresh breath of air.

Can Confirm, However if there was ever a Physical/Metaphysical thing that could make a boy a man It would be listening to Dragonforce songs like Soldiers Of The Wasteland, that song's enough to light a fire in anyone's heart.
