Transcript: "Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden
"Toxic masculinity - and the persistent idea that feelings are a "female thing" - has left a generation of straight men stranded on emotionally-stunted island, unable to forge intimate relationships with other men.
"It's women who are paying the price.

That last slide is a comment I left under a parenting influencer’s post about calling out other parenting influencers. It seems to have been hidden. Very odd, especially considering that I wanted people to find the folks I referenced so they’d have alternatives to the mainstream parenting accounts. Anyway, just wanna remind folks that I’ve been calling out parenting influencers who are not liberation-oriented and uplifting those who are since 2018 on this platform and I will continue to do so. And if people wanna hop on the train now then that’s fine I guess.

The kindest people are not born that way,
they are made.
They are the ones who have dug themselves
out of the dark,
who have fought to turn
every loss into a lesson.
The kindest people don’t just exist --
they choose to soften
where circumstance has tried to harden them,
they choose to believe in goodness
because they have seen firsthand
why compassion is so necessary.
They have seen firsthand
why tenderness is so important in this world.
