Very well said. Just wanted to clarify that the notion that men should always be strong and heroic is still toxic masculinity. Strength shouldn't be celebrated for its own sake, what matters is how it's used. Appreciate the men who struggle against anxiety and social expectations to still do what is right.

I know that's probably what you mean, but that last paragraph gave me flashbacks.

Very true. Men can have genuine moments of weakness, as showing those takes more courage than always pretending to be strong.

How does one struggle without strength?
