What defines a man? We live in a world that is evolving and the possibilities for more flexible expression of masculinity are arising.
Does being more emotionally expressive mean you are less of a man?
There's a LOT of nuance here in the way a man expresses himself, but does being affectionate with another man imply the men are not heterosexual?
Does this imply that whether they are or they are not that this behavior would make them less powerful?
Power resides within us.
We give it away.
We can keep our power by owning the truthful needs we have and not apologizing for being honest with ourselves.
That takes A LOT of courage in a world that still is stuck in the 1 dimensional expectation of what a man is.
Men do need structure. We need guidance.
We need each other, but we don't need a prison of superficial rules that condemn us to a life of disconnected loneliness.
