It seems the problem is that so many want to place limitations on what a man can be, just as limitations are placed on women. Maybe this is just human nature, to want clear lines and categories. But that's where the problems sneak in. Regardless of how we define manliness or femininity, once we do so we, by default, leave out those who simply do not fit these categories. And there will always be those who do not fit. So are they not men? We're just perpetuating the idea that these men somehow do not measure up to the standard. Instead of just erasing the old lines and drawing new ones, i think we need to see men and women more as people and not genders. Are we not more than our genitalia?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
