I might be keeping it too real for people who just wanna have fun and get off, but, like, what does it mean to "fail as a man?" I've always recoiled at that phrasing.

I think a view of manhood as "you have to be this one single way or you're not a man" is an incredible narrow take on the issue.

Like, there are lots of different kinds of women. What makes one "more woman" than another? What would it mean to "fail as a woman?"

I think the idea of "failing" is inextricably tied to the black-or-white notion that "if I'm not a man, I must be a sissy," and I think that one doesn't have to mean the other. Manliness comes in a lot of shapes of and sizes.
