Thank you. I always had an urge to be tender and romantic. It also always seemed to me that a men should not be like that. Society accepts the image of a men who is muscular, hard, without feelings. For many men, the dream is to be someone like a bad boy.
Those norms were designed to hurt us. Women are silenced, and men are encouraged to be cold.
There are many types of masculinity, not just one. They’re men who don’t lead by force or in alpha style. This is quiet and stable masculinity. They are caring and focused on building, not fighting. They are also leaders that need to have that inner dominance vibe. No man is the same.
Being romantic is now mocked, but men used to sing and write letters to women, build “castles”, and not only go to war.
