Men need a safe place.
A buddy and I were talking yesterday about "the dumbest thing he ever did" and how hurt he was for years about disappointing his dad.

A buddy and I were talking yesterday about "the dumbest thing he ever did" and how hurt he was for years about disappointing his dad.
He got emotional; it was many things for him: him making big sacrifices to work right an error he couldn& #39;t undo, his
dad being a rock then, his dad being gone now and the in-between.
I had a small lump at the back of my throat; testimonials of sterling fatherhood are a treasure.
Oh, he broke my heart by apologising for "laying it on me". I mean, he was saying sorry for being human!

"Woman priviledge" allows me to express my pain with apology. I can burst into tears anywhere and on a ratio of 8:10, I& #39;d garner compassion, even help. And it would be mostly and most likely men coming to my rescue. And not first because I have a pretty face or body; it& #39;s the

protector instinct in men.
Men like to stay strong and it& #39;s a good thing but I think men deny their humanness too much. And it& #39;s not healthy.

About the only emotion men can
show openly with much reproach or backlash is anger. And that& #39;s a terrible narrative.
Why is it easier to accept a man& #39;s anger than his hurt? A man manages to come out and talk about being raped at 14 and fools, men & women, ask or think if he didn& #39;t truly enjoy it? WTH!

So they suck it up, not processing their pain and on the inside rot festers.
It& #39;s no wonder that more men have heart problems and high blood pressure than women. The average male life expectancy is less too.

You& #39;ve got men who are deeply hurting but can& #39;t express their
pain and the only thing they can express is anger to be seen as manly and then they overdo it.
Men need a safe place. Everybody doesn& #39;t have it see him hurt...but it& #39;s OK for him to have someone, some place safe to unravel so he can be whole.
"Man up!" is good & at the core

"Man up!" is good & at the core
of manhood but let it never be at the risk of "Man down!"
We need our men. We need whole men.
For now. For tomorrow.
