Ashamed for acting out of character

This morning I saw a post on Facebook about how strong men are for fixing themselves. I then commented about how anyone is strong for fixing themselves. Well I didn't get good feedback from that and realized I sounded entitled. I put an apology comment on the post.

I just relate to the post because I was taught as a child that my emotions are childish. I as an adult, decided to tell my feelings to a few people in fear of being invalidated. I hold in my emotions because I was taught being expressive is immature. So when I saw the post I related to it on a deep level. Though others think just because I'm a woman, I'm degrading men. I can understand since some ladies are like that. I can just relate to male problems a bit more than female ones. Actually it's because of this that I believe in gender equality. I don't believe one gender is superior to the other; as in I respect in humanity rather than the gender they are.

I know what I said was wrong, and I rightfully deleted that comment. Even so, I'm still ashamed I said something that I would never say.
