I cried, do not get me wrong I am an alpha male, but cried at a front page story in this days SHM online edition
It started out as a Feminist bit, then opened up about men, no not insulting
Feeling sorry for us, a long read a deep one, but it made me cry
Good men do, and are not afraid to say so
But the past me hid it did everything to not show it
At age 5 I would not dare do such a thing
Why did I cry, if you read the story, and it is worth it, it talks of lots of things the father son relationship one of them
Men must be men stuff
It bought me back to my 16th birthday, living away from home, dad got the train down and we went to the races
But as we waited for the steam train to take him home we sat on either end of a long railway seat, and cried
Never dare say I love you mate never admit we cried but maybe those memories remind me we must never lock up our true feelings

Dear Belly,

A great big hug to you.

I think that today men are now permitted a more
gentle and expressive personality than would
have been considered appropriate a few decades
ago.. The 1950s "tough guy" image of manhood
has less and less appeal to both sexes these days.
Of course there are still neanderthals around who
believe that a woman's place is in the home, barefoot
and pregnant and a man needs to walk around with his
club.

Like the feminine role today, the masculine role is now
more ambiguous, more flexible, more subject to
interpretation by the individual.

Today we value a person's indiviual human qualities,
rather than his or her biological sex as a primary measure
of a person's worth and achievement. And those you, dear
friend have in spades - and your ability to show emotion
proves it.

Foxy yes in fact that change has been huge in my lifetime
But in the link it is probably not working now,it showed why men are men
That do not be a cry baby you are a big boy thing
It opened my eyes
And confirmed my intention to learn something new everyday is worth the effort
While I live I grow was something I adopted long ago, after seeing it on a tree
