Men are humans

In today's society, men have very conflicting stories they have to follow.

1. Toxic masculinity needs to end but no one can actually define toxic masculinity

2. Men need to act like men and not be so emotional

I'm not sure if you get it but this is two ends of the spectrum.

Men have to be providers for the house and if we're not, its held over our heads that we dont make as much as our spouse.

Men have to be tough and rugged so that they can fix everything in the house and then be soft and nurturing to their spouses and kids in the same exact moment.

Men can have "dad bods" even though they see all the women of the world swooning over the men in the Marvel movies.

The list of contradictions goes on and on with how men have to navigate life.

This post isnt to say that men have it worse than women, cause they dont. What I think is that with the changing of the world from gender roles in the house to more fluid living, I think men have it just as bad as women.

We're all, men and women, being told two different stories by the world and by those that love us.

The key to only listen to the stories that loves you.
