The Expansive Man: A Man with Emotions

There is a segment of men who are fed up with acting like they don’t have feelings.

This segment is seeking balance. They want to be their whole selves. They may not use the same kind of language women are so familiar with, like “be my best self” or “be my authentic self” but they are seeking the same outcome.

They are pushing for expansion. 

At the same time there is another segment of men who are pushing for men to be more rigid and disconnected from women especially. Rather than expansion, they are conditioning men to be comfortable with isolation. Rather than caring for a man’s happiness and comfort, they push for a man to be simply stoic and unfeeling. Some of you know this type as the Red Pill man.

Hard lines about what is allowed and what is strictly forbidden is not enough for the Expansive Man. They’ve grown bigger than that. Permission to just be angry and hungry isn’t enough anymore. They want to feel cared for, validated, heard, and appreciated not just for what they do but who they are. 

This isn’t a feminine man. This is a human.
