Sure, that, and a pair of testicles.
You joke, but perhaps... perhaps you're right.
~~I need to feel like a man.~~ I need someone to hold me tight for a moment.
I'm like half the size of an average man so as a woman I sometimes have these moments even more intensified, like a goblin against a troll
Funny thing: only ever heard women say this
because its not only men perpetuating this shit, some just put up with it and guide younger women on how to gently move things along and the flimsy little dude forgets and gets mad about the next dumb thing. Literally my parents...
But maybe you could still pretend I am a strong man every once in a while anyway? As a treat?
no... oh... okay...
If that's the role-play you need from your partner and she agrees to it and you reciprocate; then sure. But it isn't society's, or your co-workers', job to do that.
Normalize feeling like a man as somebody who is given space to feel anything beyond anger or shame. A man needs to feel like he can talk about things on his mind at any given time, to anybody he trusts. A man is somebody who can cry when he is hurting, and it be okay; that he won’t be labeled as weak or a coward.
