Miscellaneous
I have something on my mind that's bothering me, and to be honest I don't have the answer to it. But I feel it's important to voice these thoughts and perhaps start up a discussion.What's triggered me is I saw a post the other day about Harry Styles wearing a dress on the cover of Vogue and the backlash that was received. There were comments effectively saying, "Bring back the manly man". This really bothered me because it creates confusion and an intolerance that we really don't need.From the work that I do with my clients, a lot of men struggle with the idea of what it means to be a man. Men are confused about how they are supposed to show up in the world, and comments like the one I've mentioned don't help. We've come so far in encouraging men to embrace the feminine side and allowing themselves to feel more emotions, and then comments like this saying that we should bring back the manly men, just completely derails the whole conversation.I don't know what the answer is here. Tolerance is important but of course I realise that we can't be tolerant of every behaviour because there are plenty of behaviours and actions that are deplorable, but intolerance on something like this seems counterproductive.I'd love your thoughts.
