Kudos to the pioneers! I'm fortunate to come from a large family of sensitive, vulnerable men (born 1930s–1990s) who emote in healthy ways, express their fears and insecurities gently and without shame, and are very connected to their sweet, nurturing sides. They grew up in the same society as everyone else did, probably seeing their share of guys get ridiculed for being vulnerable sometimes too — and yet, these men still made the choice to remain rooted in their own vulnerability, authenticity, and gentleness. So it's 1000% doable if a guy is strong and brave enough.

Luckily, this kind of approach is exactly what weeds out the less enlightened women, and it's the reason why the good men in my life found wives who respect, admire, and appreciate their authentic selves.

Trying to mould your personality to suit the lowest common denominator never, ever makes sense. I wish more guys realized this.

Thank you for the work you do of trying to fight the good fight! 💜
