    I mean, like, just because something is a certain way, doesn’t mean it should be that way.

    Why is a man showing vulnerability bad? It’s uncomfortable and difficult, doing uncomfortable and difficult things is manly. Or maybe I’m mistaken. What makes something manly and other things womanly?

      Why would it be better if there were no distinction between men and women ? Or between countries, or citizens ?
      What’s the use of showing your vulnerability, is that something that others like to see ? And it’s not difficult, what’s difficult is to take upon yourself and desire the struggle.
      We’re men, alike rocks, people/life hit us and we don’t move, this has advantages and inconvenients, we generally appreciate women’s sensibility, and i suppose that most of them appreciate to be able to rely on men when they’re needed.
      Admittedly, beauty is more useful in times of peace than strength, if i count the benefits(, women can give birth and that’s the most important thing in Nature), women have more of them than men, but if we can keep some of our qualities i won’t say ‘no’.
