The Yolk of P'an-Ku

Musings, rambles, dribble - all and none

I had a conversation with someone recently where we discussed our feeling that vulnerability is not a weakness. To show the parts of you that may be wounded or without the heavy defenses we often try to employ, takes courage. To ask for help, or to try to use it as a learning tool for yourself and others is admirable and shows a spirit of hope. An acceptance that things need not be internalized all the time; that the opinions of others can heal as well as hurt.

 

Plus, great songs...

 

MelMell​(dom female) - It bothers me so much when people say “men don’t cry” yeah they do and they sure as hell can/should. Men are humans too and they have emotions. It’s fine to feel hurt and vulnerable. It’s fine to talk to others about it. It takes so much strength and courage to show vulnerability. I personally find people that don’t show vulnerability cowardly.

ohgoody{Under cons} - I LOVE this post! I think not letting young boys feel safe to be sad or vulnerable is what creates toxic masculinity. Sadness that is not dealt with tends to transform into anger. Sadness doesn’t have a gender it is a human emotion and I hope I am able to teach my son that vulnerability and empathy are in fact strength. Again I love this post! Just talked to a client about this same topic 👌🏼

Annais - Wonderful sentiment and I couldn't agree more.
And not for anything but Robert Smith was my first crush in middle school. To this day, seeing smeared lipstick does something to me, deep inside... lol

happyfriday​(sub female) - As you know, I wholeheartedly agree with this 💙. Vulnerabilities make you and there is nothing more real than showing them to someone. To hide them means you never show the real you.
My vulnerabilities make me and I'm not ashamed of them.

Lion​(dom male){Hazel Eyes} - My grandfather used to call me a ball bag titty sucker as a child when I cried, when I got older I shut all feeling off and not even death made me cry. After my gunshot I realized I was human and had feeling so I cry when I want to. Men should cry it shows we have feelings instead of being a heartless dick. Just my opinion.

curious butterfly​(masochist female) - Good for you! I'm sorry to hear about your experience. But, yes you are right, and its nice to see men show feelings, they become real humans when they do.
