quick question, how is this any different for women?

It's less acceptable for men to open up, it's one of the toxic masculinity traits that harms men the most.

So when my woman gets less attracted to me as a result of me opening up, that’s toxic masculinity at work?

@intensely_human @SkyeStarfall Yes? Or rather, the *assumption* that she would is toxic masculinity. If she actually does that, she's bought into the same toxic bullshit.

It's toxic no matter whom it's coming from. You *deserve* someone whom you can open up to.
