Hello, I just really want to know why it's okay for a woman to be vulnerable and be weak and show they sad side or we cry, but when men do it, it's uh, oh being a man and grow up and take charge. I don't understand that.

The best thing is to feel what you feel and not care what no one else feels. If you believe in a nurturing man and a nurturing woman, which I do, then you love that and all that true.

If you believe in a man shouldn't cry because it shows weakness, because vulnerability is weakness, then, and you believe that's to be wrong, then that's fine.

Here's the thing, everyone has vulnerabilities, everyone has weaknesses, everyone hurts, everyone feels pain. Doesn't matter what race, what age, it all feels the same when it happens.

I think the best thing to do is practice empathy and compassion and give more understanding to either sex, to be more masculine quote unquote, or more feminine or more vulnerable quote unquote.

I believe love is really the answer to everything and just giving that love and understanding everybody is going to be the best way. Mr. Roger that thing. You know what I'm saying?

The world where we tell men to be more emotionally intelligent. In the world where we tell men to stop being so toxic. In the world where we tell men to be more loving and caring. And then when men tell you about how they feel, you tell them, shut the fuck up, you're bashing women.

I believe now there is a shift change with men being vulnerable. I find that this is from watching a lot of podcasts and just seeing what's happened post pandemic with mental health and people getting into therapy now. I'm seeing-

I'm seeing a lot of podcasts where men are being vulnerable now and they're learning to know that it's okay. And there are a lot of podcasts that are saying, hey, men, it's okay to be vulnerable because this is what's going to help with your communication and your relationships.

I definitely believe that in the past, the way men are taught and they're grown up environment-wise and just the way a man is raised is to suck it up obviously and be strong.

Suck it up, be strong, be the provider, all the great things you want a man to be, but the vulnerability is not really touched on at all and I feel in the past that it was missing.

And I just love that there's a shift change. I just love that society is allowing men to put their guard down and to feel emotions that are regular human emotions without them being chastised by or looked upon in a bad manner.

Hold up, hold up. Since when is being vulnerable weak? That's a toxic trait to think about. Ain't no vulnerability weak. That's very strong to be vulnerable to somebody, because if you're not, then you're hiding. You're hiding.

Men can be more vulnerable. I know a lot of men that are. It's just that, stop looking at them like they're a different kind of person. We all have feelings, so why can't we show them?

The moment you confide in them, the moment you decide to trust her for that one moment in time, when the situation pop up, she decides to pull that shit out her ass. Now, who's looking like a fool?

is that vulnerability is a big fat lie. All humans are vulnerable. The only difference is some people know how to use vulnerability to their advantage.

Many women choose to leverage vulnerability as a tool for manipulation. Most men believe, or have been taught to believe, this is a poor taste because it's not manly. Therefore, you see less in men.

For this comment, CC, masculinity has been leveraged against men by men by women forever. So, um, and then it's terrible. So.
