Gendered question, I know. If you don't identify as a man, please feel free to answer with whatever you want. I meant to post it in the Men's Lib sub but somehow it always bugs for me.

Let's spill the tea lads

I like painting my nails.

I like gardening and I take great pride in my plants and upcoming indoor veggie and herb garden.

I dance when I go out.

I like bright colors.

I like candles that smell nice.

I like flowers.

I like Harry Styles.

I like crocheting.

Whatever you like, be proud of it. There is no such thing as liking something unmanly. Nothing can harm your manliness. Do what you want.

That's the thing with this post: there is no such thing as a manly interest. But society teaches a lot of young men that it is really important to have these so called 'manly interests' like violence, sports, appearing tough etc. And when you don't fit into these categories, you can get abuse from other men or society in general.

My post was meant as a way to connect with others and to see that everyone has a vast variety of interests and that there is no shame in liking things that aren't what I mentioned above.
