    I don’t know if we have to make a societal decision to change the definition of manhood. I think just by accepting that men can be sensitive, and don’t have to be bread winners, more men will fill those roles (and not feel like they have to hide it). And as time goes on, the more men live like that, the more the definition of manhood will change in its own.

      We need to free ourselves from the shackles of roles-past.

      That’s what feminism did.

      So what if I’m not the breadwinner?

      So what if I cry at sappy moments in movies?

      So what if I need validation for my feelings?

      Society is still okay with pushing this onto men, and it needs a moment of unity to say “this does not define me as a man”
