Am I Masculine enough for ya
What if I tell them the opposite of that? You know what I'm saying? Like show them the characteristics of what a feminine or an emotional man is. And I googled it and it's a listing here for women that have feminine men and what to expect. And it says he won't be the main provider, you will. Nor will he provide for your safety, comfort or pleasure and well being comfortable with you taking the lead. No sense of purpose requires more emotional support than you
The irony, though, is of these women talking about that, is that they're not allowing the men in their lives to have the full spectrum of being right and yet demanding it for themselves. Actually, I think there's more to it. There, I think, with respect to those particular women
It's like not to assign any specific task to anyone, that everybody should kind of, I guess, help or split the tasks, whether it's considered feminine or masculine. Because on one hand, it's kind of like some people want to be identified as men or women, but then when it comes to actually doing the work, there's no role for the men or the women. The women can do everything a man can do, you know what I mean?

I'm not supposed to be in my masculine energy when I get with a man. I'm supposed to be in my feminine energy. I'm supposed to be soft. I'm supposed to be the weaker vessel. I'm supposed to submit to him. And so what that looks like is the man sets the tone in family relationships. And so I follow his lead in everything. I follow his lead in how we talk to one another. I follow his lead in making decisions

But at the end of the day, he was the head of the household, and he ran the household as such. And for me, I have to have a man who takes charge in every area. I have to. I'll be single if I don't. I would. I'll be single if I don't, because I was made to be the weaker vessel. I was made to be. That's what God said

Women want men to take charge. Let me not say women, I want it. I know what it looks like and I may not be able to articulate it as well as I want. But you have to be able to protect and provide. Let me say this too. Protecting and providing is not just protecting and providing for me physically it's protecting and providing me spiritually. It's protecting and providing for me financially. And that may just mean, babe, you didn't spend enough money

Some people might say that's what makes a man what makes a strong man is a man who is himself and who is dedicated to exploring and accepting himself. Especially in the face of people saying you should be this or you should be that. But I think when we talk about generalities like this, it's hard. Obviously we all have certain things that we want in a partner and we all have certain preferences. But even going just defining masculine and feminine and what does it mean?
My ideal is that we celebrate the entirety of a human and not limit them based on any of these other factors. However, like I said, I know that that's not the case for other people and that there can be significant value there. So you talked about feeling like you had only masculine energy. I don't know the ins and outs of this. I've only heard some of this, but some philosophies have deemed feminine energy as chaos and masculine energy as order

Now, should men pour out all their emotions all the time? I don't think so. The masculine men that I know don't pour out their emotions. They're not emotionally vulnerable all the time. And one thing about our modern society is that we want men to be these emotionally vulnerable creatures. And I'm like, okay, by design, men aren't emotionally vulnerable. But we're trying to force men into that as if to say, there's something wrong with you

Like, treat me like your diary, too. So to me, that's huge. But when it comes to how I would define a man as being masculine, I don't know, I guess I would just say, like, I don't know, just a man who doesn't gossip. Some of these men are so messy. Like, if you a gossiping guy, bye. If you messy, goodbye
Like, for me, I'm a man, always want to be a man, always going to have feelings like a man. But I'm compassionate and I'm empathetic, I'm forgiving, but never not a man. Because if that's the case, then you telling me I got to find out the most feminine, the least feminine what does feminine mean? So I know how to act? No, this is all spontaneous for me
See, because you haven't invented anything here except to talk. Everything else has been here since the beginning of the time. And the woman has been complete from creation. The man's the one that's missing the part, not the woman. So it you mean to tell me that after all the struggle and everything else temperance, movement, whatever you want now it's kind of cool to be a man because a man said so?
And then you start explaining all these masculine so called things that you're doing. You know what they called that back in the day? You know what single moms called that back in the day. If that's the case, do you know the masculine energy the single moms had to have back in the day? Along with the racism and everything else and getting beat up at home? They called it doing what I got to do. You better not call me no damn man
But no one should have to, in my opinion, conform to an overarching notion of what it is to be a man, what it is to be a woman, et cetera, et cetera. I think it's more about who you are as a human than any of these other things
Now, plum, if I ever get to meet you, if you allow me, I'm a hug you, because I don't all the rest of that foolishness. That's not what drew me to the swell. That's not why I follow you. I follow you because on one hand, you on another level, but on another hand, you're kind of like my muse. Because you make me think of things in a different way that's you
I want them to know that they all right with me when I take the kids, I want their mom to know they with Mike, they're good to go. He gonna feed them and everything because that's what I'm gonna do. I like Mike. I used to hate him. But one thing, starting out with getting back to the topic and all that, I'm not going backwards

If you don't want to cry in front of people, then that's fine. I don't like crying in front of people either, so that's fine. You can go somewhere by yourself and cry. But if you need to cry, cry. Let those emotions out. And, yeah, if you have someone in your life, yeah, she should create a place for you where if you feel like you need to cry, you can
It. I agree with you 100%. I don't know about all the cleansing and all that because I don't know. I haven't done it enough to say. I mean, I can't create these emotions. It's not like I'm walking around and I want to cry, but I'm holding it back like baby boy not it's just not a big part of my emotional, I guess, makeup and mike. I mean, let me see if I can remember everybody
I do not have no female energy. And plus, you just can't make up stuff. You can't make up stuff. I forget the two men that made up of toxic masculine. There's two men that's credited for that, and one of them is he's homosexual. The other one is like, I think he's some kind of alternative, you know what I mean? But I don't know if they're qualified to quantify or measure masculine. And I really don't care
Or at least not even official definitions, but what does someone mean by that word? Right? Because we can all use a particular word, but it has different meanings for each of us. If you asked us to define a specific word, let alone getting into complex ideas around energy and gender, coles and sex, et cetera, et cetera, I mean, sex as in like biological sex. The male female, not the act is my point
