  • I know, it just doesn't make sense to me why people think being gay is so feminine. I totally get why a guy doesn't want to seem feminine, but I dont think that is the reason. Beacause it seems even the straight guys are slowly becoming more feminine nowadays anyway.

    • Statistically, gay people are more expressive. They are more open to showing feelings through art, attire, interaction, and speech. Society has long pushed the idea that men shouldn't be emotional or expressive. "If your mom and dad get shot, you should be Bruce Wayne. Don't show your emotion to others in public because it's a sign of weakness."

      It's hard to change an entire generation's viewpoint when they've been brought up being taught the opposite. However, being expressive -- showing your emotions to others -- is not weakness. It takes courage to let people in. No one wants other people to think that something is wrong in their lives. Everyone is so concerned with how they are perceived.

      This is natural. Humans are social. We desire to be accepted. The sad part is that we expect others to accept us when we don't even accept ourselves. Insecurity has been construed as weakness. Boys are taught early on that men shouldn't need help. Everyone needs help. Everyone has something they cannot do. Everyone has something they can do that those around them cannot.

      At the end of the day, though, I know that there is only one thing that I can do better than anyone else on this planet, and that is to be myself. And I do it well. I have no one to apologize to for that.

      • I agree that guys should not hide emotions intentionally to seem masculine. The idea that that is a masculine thing needs to go away. But some people are getting to over run with emotions and sort of overcorrecting themselves. So now you have people that everything is based on feelings and they need to protest for rights the second they don't get what they want. And if 'being yourself' inhibits the lives of others, we have an issue.

        • I honestly have no idea how to go about correcting this. We can try as best as we can to educate people, but ultimately it is up to them to choose their own actions. Personally, I can just shut off my emotions whenever it gets too overwhelming. I can calm down instantly and logically think my way through any situation I have come across. I believe that emotions are necessary to understand how people feel, but acting on them is not usually the wisest choice.
