The White Horse No More
Throughout the last few years, my journey has taught me a lot of things, one of the most important has been on mental health. History repeats itself unless we brave the wilderness to confront it, challenge it and then change it. 5 brothers, I’ve been married 2 times & I have 2 boys. I’ve seen what men go through and frankly it upsets me a lot. Men are expected to be the strong hold in a family, to listen to their elders and do what they are told, even if it isn’t right. Why? Well, from what I understand, if men don’t, they are then chastised, belittled and made to feel as if they’ve betrayed the “man code”. Don’t get me wrong, I believe this is changing but I have seen first hand, the misogyny, bigotry and conformity men face. Frankly I dislike it. I’ve seen men be told to.. “shut up and sit down” that .. “if they can’t be a man, they are a (insert name of female genitalia)” A man should know his place in the family, as a woman should. A man should ... not cry. Who
