Oh man do I feel that quote at the end

"Man up", "Boys don't cry", "Grow a pair", and so much more (and worse)

Not only coming from the men in my life but the women as well. My grandmothers were particularly bad about it.

And it started as early as I can remember.

The destruction of the emotional self. Being told the only emotions men are allowed to feel are anger and content.

I'm going to have to check out that book, I think it will help being able to bring my thoughts on the matter into a more easily communicable way.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
