The topic of masculinity is one I spend a lot of time on. I posted a recent article to Medium titled "Man Up, You Sissy" (https://medium.com/heart-affairs/man-up-you-sissy-59f4f7f92e49) which talks about how insidious toxic masculinity becomes at an early age.

As someone who didn't fit into the traditional transition from boy to man role (be tough, don't cry, don't be a sissy), I realized early on how unsustainable this is and what a dis-service we do to boys.

Look, masculine and feminine energy is different, it will always be but I've found feminine energy to be a bit more 'healthy' than what is expected of masculine energy in today's world. Those who hold masculine energy are human beings too. We all feel and have emotions that we need to process. Society tells us that processing those emotions is weakness, and that is wrong.
