I DO dominate, compete, challenge, judge." What does that tell ya? (giggle) LOL

Yet even I struggle with allowing myself the luxury of being soft, vulnerable, forgiving, gentle, humble. I DO dominate, compete, challenge, judge. That post you quoted was unusual for me. But thank you for the approval of my feminine explorations! (I mean it. I just hope YOU don't see that as weak coming from a man....do you??) KelBell- I am also gay.

Are you a stereotype of control and domanance who does not embrace his feminine side? Hmmm Let's read your blog and see: "I thought how light my soul is, the weight of a butterfly. I usually want to think of myself as a 160 lb., gravity pulled, lump of flesh, weighed down by life. But my butterfly soul has wings of words, which flap against the molecules of indescribable colors and are lifted by the warm, sweet air of my friends’ thoughts. An hour later, I’m feeling lighter, and the light outside my window is glowing as if it knows. It’s glowing from within, with me. And what seemed like a huge burden was just a little tiny misplaced ounce of perception and assumption of who and how I am." After reading that, I must lovingly disagee. There is hope, and I believe that things will change. Change IS the only constant, is it not? -KelBell You are a man Garnet.

And most men, especially in the US, do not embrace their feminie side. The fear of being seen as weak or homosexual, (which is translated as the same), is too much for most men to bear. So we continue blindly down the path of war and dominance. God forbid men might allow themselves to be vulnerable. It's embedded so deep I don't think it will change.
