I just don’t feel feminine, аlthough I have long hair, I use makeup and I can’t be called tomboy, but I think calling me a woman sounds ridiculous, I’m not sure why, has anyone dealt with this?

  • Lol, I’m male but I don’t even feel “masculine”, whatever that’s supposed to mean.

    My parents always tells me: “男子漢大丈夫,流血不流淚” (translates to “Real men would rather bleed before crying” or something like that) and I just fuckint cringe.

    Like do they want me to die in a battlefield or something lmao

    I just cried a lot when I just arrived in the US as a child. Cuz I got bullied a lot…

    And my parents were abusive to me… and then they wonder why their child cries a lot…

    But I also cry when I see the news and all the sad things that happen in the world.

    Like… fuck “gender stereotypes”. The world is the way is it because we have men that want to act so tough and “masculine” and completely throw out their empathy and morals.

      Lmao my mom used to say real men don’t cry.

      One day as a teen I was angry and tearing up and she said that, so I just screamed at her “I’VE SEEN DAD AND GRANDPA BOTH CRY SO SHUT THE FUCK UP” And honestly I think she realized she was wrong at least about that, because she has never said it since even to my sister’s kids, and I didn’t even get in trouble for swearing at her.

      Cry away, fellow human. Disregard those who cannot allow themselves to feel emotions for fear of seeming “less than”.
