I learned something today about toxic masculinity.

41. Here is another I just LOVE.... We call our little two year olds, little men. Dad leaves the house

and the little wo yr old told he is the "man" of the house now and need to protect mom and sister. I mean what a living fuck? lmao. I never allowed that the many many times someone would call my boys, men.... I would say, no... they are boys. And no, my kid son is nOT going to be the adult to my adult taking care of me. I mean how stupid is this. Now a step further.....

We are told we need to do this to protect male masculinity. As a little girl we were taught we have to coddle, stroke masculinity cause we did not want to emasculate. I mean.... it is so sensitive and precious. I really want people to consider this need to have so much focus from the time they are infants into adulthood protecting the ever fragile, sensitive masculinity that is suppose to be all about strength.
