Men do not need to do anything to prove to me they are a man.
Ive always fought this idea for myself.
I have the potential to be more than a mother or a wife if I want to.

Pay my way
Repeat after me: It is not my boyfriends/husbands/partners job to pay for everything I want.
Man up and stop crying
Man Up is one of the most toxic phrases out there.
Look like a man (i.e ripped)
Defied muscles look great, they really do.
But if you dont, stop worrying!
Your masculinity is not determined by how separated your abs are.
And you have to consider transgender men, too.
Its that simple.If youre a man, youre a man, no matter your shape or size.
Dress like a man
Theres a quote from Eddie Izzard that I love.
When asked if he wears womens dresses, his answer was simply:Theyre not womens dresses.
Theyre my dresses, I buy them.
Now, I understand not every man wears dresses, but the point is still the same.
Im still a girl in a suit.
Im pretty sure that men can still be men underneath their clothes, no matter what the clothes are.
Like sports or man hobbies
We have an uncanny habit of giving everything we do masculine or feminine traits.
Hobbies are no exception.
If a man has a hobby, that becomes a mans hobby regardless of what it is.
That doesnt make them any less of a man or me any less of a woman.
