I love love love love love this video and this really caused me to question some things that I now realize I’m terrible at dealing with. But I still love that someone made this video.

this video was a fucking gutpunch and i highly recommend it

i’ve often wondered if this was actually a thing: that maybe some of the people who are abandoning masculinity are doing so because being a dude can kinda just … fucking really suck sometimes.

This is a ‘detox’ from ‘toxic masculinity’. A refuge from the malignant stereotypical pressures of emotional repression, violence, and aggression.

After a guy spends a big chunk of his life being called ‘girly’, responding in the affirmative and embracing ‘girliness’ is an act of defiance against the expected response (the expected response being, puffing oneself up with rage and physical reprisal).

personal growth is fucking hard even in the best of circumstances, and the environment we live in can be hostile to the life one hoped to lead. nobody has the right to fucking judge anyone for that.

To all my sisters out there who decided, ‘fuck it, i guess i’m a girl now because i refuse live like a whipping boy’, i salute you.

BE BEAUTIFUL!
