I Am Not As Strong As You Think I Am
Strong Men...... Another posted on Strong Women and I feel she is completely correct, but it also applies to men.
Society sees men as the Rocks; the person who earns the money; who can still be sensitive enough as well, but shouldn't cry in public; he should throw down for a fight, but shouldn't actually hurt anyone; and in short be everything to everyone. Is it any wonder men can't handle that. No human can be all of that. If you are the sort willing to roll into a fight, then someone will be hurt. If he is earning money, then he can't be Mr. Mom.. If he is sensitive, then he will cry in public. Normal human males are not John Wayne, That was an abnormal character for the big screen. It is time society recognize men as people who can have their own vulnerabilities and problems. And let them be themselves rather than what you want them to be.
I for one will never fit society's mold. I don't like alcohol. I don't care for Football. I hate ba<x>seball. I only watch Basketball if a Kansas team is playing. I like Soccer. I don't do concerts - too loud. I don't like American comedy - too crude. I don't believe in the abuse of women which frankly is acceptable in US society. I am who I am and am very comfortable with that person.
