I'm in the same boat with you, bro. It's tough because we as men are often just looked at as workhorse providers and not as people with emotional needs. So much of Catholicism is focussed on Mary and her amazing sinless life and it's just downright impossible for us men to measure up to that standard.

But I think you have to just take up your cross and go up the hill. We're constantly told that the "fairer sex" is less prone to violence and bloodshed and as much as it stings sometimes, it's the truth. We have to hand it to the women that they generally are less aggressive. But don't let that define your path: become a gentle giant, a servant of all.

Not saying it's easy, man. Just trying to help.
