Dear men. It is manly to read books. It is manly to wear cute clothes. It is manly to care for your kids. It is manly to relax sometimes. It is manly to do housework. It is manly to love yourself. It is manly to cry, to feel, to BE human. Allow yourself that, please. You have my permission to be human. And if you don’t want it to be manly, it doesn’t have to be. It can be a multitude of things because manliness doesn’t define you. YOU define you. That’s kind of your whole job.

Yeah... I'm s**t at handling rejection. I just run away and eat pizza.

The old "when a girl says no she's *playing* hard to get" toxic mythe.

Women deserve pockets PERIOD.

I'm straight and I like to do my hair and wear markup. I also look smashing in a black miniskirt. Does that make me gay? No it makes me sexy AF.

WE LOVE LAFORGE!!

EXACTLY! But poor Robin

Lol this man got a business card to tell you just how hard you can go f**k off.

YES. THIS.

I do that too and I'm a girl

Upvote for cartoon kitty who is basically me.

I love fruit cocktails!

How sweet! :D

Ok, this post made me soft. I'd give literally anything for that.

Hey, I'm a former child too!!

Louder for the people at the back!

I had a friend whose husband told her to man up while she was giving birth. She bit him on the hand.

Not all bodies can do that, even if you put in the effort.

Toxic masculinity hurts everyone, including men. It's called "toxic" for a reason.

I love the message that although Thor was going through a ton of grief and guilt, despite the fact that he’d been dealing with depression and subsequently weight gain, he was still worthy.

Oh...

Never understood this. I used to sub for an exgf who was a dom at playshows. I'm OK being seen seen in public but NOT OK being recorded and posted on the web. Most places like that make you check your phone at the door these days.

I'm gay, so I can't really comment on the accuracy of this.

There's a ute (pick up truck) someone drives around here with a big bumpersticker on the back that says "It ain't weak to speak" and I love it so much.

Don't worry Mike Wendowski you're cooler than Karen will ever be

Why did I act out every one of these. I am a girl

Really curious what the censored "H" word is.

She looks like she wants to fall asleep in every picture

That a relict from the time that boys HAD to make the first move and girls HAD to patiently wait for that move. We all have to grow out of what our parents were taught

I was so attracted to someone once that I couldn't even look at him. We were paired for a presentation and I found out the feeling was mutual. Still found it hard to look at him.

Her friends: OMG! He asked for my phone number just because I smiled at him and was friendly and chatted with him and asked about his feelings and complimented the way he looks! (This is not me being defensive; I'm happily married despite being the other extreme, way too shy. My wife had to clobber me over the head. But I feel very badly for the way women have treated friends of mine.)

She looks like my emo cousin.

Looks like she sees cat turds outta the litter box.

What you didn't catch her "obvious signals"??? LOL.

Literally my face like 90% of the time. My eyebrows HURT if I make too many expressions (angry or happy sometimes). But I have looked at guys and thought I was gazing at him but then he’s like “are you mad at me?” And I’m like “noooo”.

well, she looks at you. :)

I bet she's ticklish

What the hell has happened to us ?

She should smile more. 🤣

This is sad, but then the only compliments I ever get from men have been about what I look like, never anything of substance. Maybe we should all compliment each other more. But genuinely so it's meaningful.

Just when my day was going great, I drove my car into a lake :(

I’ve always lived under the philosophy of ‘if they don’t like the real you when you reveal it in meeting them, they wouldn’t like the real you when you reveal it after being friends for a while’. It’s worth just being yourself as and when you meet someone, rather than waste the energy on someone who eventually won’t like you.
