116. I totally understand
As a young man I bought into the nonsense that men are bad, evil and the thing wrong with the world. I over feminized myself (which wasn't necessarily bad)but I did it at the expense of my masculinity. I became that hippy new age sensitive guy. I am not talking about machismo, I am talking about good, positive masculine characteristics.

By doing that I did harm to myself, my psyche and to other men. We are both masculine and feminine and to reject any side of ourself is to alienate that part of who we are. One extreme is just as imbalanced as the other. We need to seek a balance within ourselves and heal the rift that keeps us apart.

Sorry if I came off strong, I just refuse to piss all over men anymore.
