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

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.

My hubby adores compliments like "smart, strong (character), kind". Y'know why? Those are what matter to him.

It's true. Women get them all the time(unfortunately not always wanted), but we guys on the rare occasion get one, it's stays with us for a while.

I compliment all of you for being here, reading, learning and challenging old af tropes & stereotypes.

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.

Well I'm rubbish at tinkering so I don't even know what that means.

This would be me but I look like beef stroganoff so... Edit: Seems a lot of you actually really like beef stroganoff! I'm flattered!!
