Bravo.

I agree with you that there shouldn't be traits that are considered exclusively masculine or feminine. In the past, I've have endorsed or exhibited emotions that used to get you called 'gay' if you were a man; emotions that were considered to be feminine only. I've always disgreed with the notion that men have to be stoic, emotionless, crude, boorish, etc, in order to be considered masculine.

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
