Gendered question, I know. If you don’t identify as a man, please feel free to answer with whatever you want. I meant to post it in the Men’s Lib sub but somehow it always bugs for me.

Let’s spill the tea lads

I like painting my nails.

I like gardening and I take great pride in my plants and upcoming indoor veggie and herb garden.

I dance when I go out.

I like bright colors.

I like candles that smell nice.

I like flowers.

I like Harry Styles.

I like crocheting.

Whatever you like, be proud of it. There is no such thing as liking something unmanly. Nothing can harm your manliness. Do what you want.

    I think the term “manly” has been so polluted. I don’t think there is nothing “unmanly” with:

    • Loving nature.
    • Loving your neighbor (even Jesus said to).
    • Loving culture (and accepting other’s culture).
    • Showing emotion (except for you narcissists who use this as an excuse for abuse. Fuck you).
    • Dancing.
    • Going outside just to feel the wind gently blowing your hair and caressing your face.

    We are capable of very complex modes of existing. There is no reason to keep being the same hateful person every day. It takes courage to go out of your confort zone. It takes courage to be a “man”. Whatever it is that word means. Love you all. <3

    Edit: Guys, are comments like this valuable? On Reddit I felt the need to write this way, but everyone seems so chill here…

      We are very chill here. I hope this post can show the new people what Lemmygrad can be as well, a fun and supporting community. There’s no need to hide who you are here, so feel free to type whichever way you want.
