dear men,
you’re not trash.
you don’t have to put up with women who call you trash for being a man.
you don’t have to deal with women who project their negative experiences with men on to you.
you don’t have to feel guilty because of what other men have done.
you aren’t obligated to correct & educate every sexist man you see in order to be a good person. *edit: of course men should be encouraged to stand up for those around them (as everyone should) however they will not be emotionally up to the task at every moment & they should not feel guilty for that.
masculinity is not a prison & is not inherently toxic
you don’t have to feel bad for not expressing your emotions in the exact way that women do
you can be equally capable of taking care of children as any women
your mental health matters
your consent matters
your worth as a person is not tied to how much money you can spend on your partner
you don’t need to be promiscuous or have a high sex drive
you can be an “adult virgin” and there’s nothing wrong with that
you can be affectionate with other men regardless of your sexuality
i might add more to this later but basically what i’m trying to say is that you are a valuable, loveable person & your gender is not a hindrance to that.
- your local feminist 💕
edit: if you have an issue with any of these, then don’t interact with my post. none of these are up for discussion!
