THE DIVERSITY OF MALE BEING

A tiger isn’t less of a cat because it’s not a lion.
It’s the same way with being a man.
We can be diverse men.
No need for hierarchy.

The tiger, leopard, panther, cheetah, and lion are all cats.
They just put their own spin on being a cat.
Put your own spin on being a man.

Nature is full of diversity.
Hundreds of different trees.
Hundreds of different plants.
Yet we want all men to be the same?
Sigh.

Even if most men are oaks,
Why can’t I be a redwood?
Even if most men are jaguars,
Why can’t I be a lynx?
Embrace the diversity of male being.

    Too many fear being an individual or themselves. That bandwagon has some kind of magnetic pull. and of course there is the classic, eww thats different, i dont understand, let’s band together against it….sort of false strength in numbers thing.
