The Silent Exhaustion of Modern Masculinity

Who made men aggressive, ruthless, emotionally unavailable, and non-expressive? Who said that this is the definition of men? Society, by telling men not to cry? Family, by neglecting their choices and voices? I feel very scared: I really don't know how they feel maybe exhausted? And what about those males who have more feminine traits? Maybe it actually feels like the whole world has turned upside down, with so many internal conflicts running. Reality is far different from their own self. It's not easy for them, and women are also wired like that. they always gossip, and when one man hurts them, they always assume that everyone is the same, and this happens in both genders. Just one person hurts them.

So now we have two terrified human beings standing in front of each other, both holding knives, both deeply needing love, but both too scared to drop their weapons first because neither trusts the other not to strike. However, historical conditioning is the main problem. They made the life of a man so miserable, so hard, they can't even express themselves because of trust issues. That's also real, but how can people find that this exact person is trustworthy? Can we trust this one? Everything is so complicated. And one should have the patience to conquer the other one, but how much? No one has that much patience. One day, due to complexities, the other one also left. Because you cannot have more patience for a person than they have courage for themselves.
