Advice for boys:

Don't let people tell u to man up. That's bullshit and you do you boo. Masculinity being pushed on boys from a young age is toxic & we need to stop. There is nothing wrong w crying, talking about your feelings, etc.

I don't understand how is crying not both: masculine and feminine.

Masculinity has a social purpose. It's important for balance.

I just think it's wrongly represented and taught as a fixed set of qualities. That's the toxic part.
