| the problem is not men fearing what people will think of them if they act feminine, but rather the fact that society's general attitude is "make men who act feminine feel bad" in the first place. |

| one of the biggest causes of arguments between me and my partner is my tone of voice. it is usually flat and does not really modulate well. when it does, I often do not recognize it. so I will answer a question from my partner and he will get upset and tell me not to snap at him, even though I wasn'... |

| I have always been more interested in older men. I think it is because I didn't have any friends my age in school and gravitated more towards hanging out with teachers. one of my first major crushes was on my 27 year old history teacher when I was 12. that lasted for several years. I tried going out... |
