And that is a social issue that feminism tackles to save both women and men.

Men are victims of a mindset that we HAVE to be powerful we HAVE to be leaders we HAVE to have sex to be credible.

It's kind of the flip side of what women deal with. Women HAVE to be prim and pretty and thin or they HAVE to be subservient or less intelligent.

We men and women have to act together to get rid of this stigma on society. We need to raise our sons to know that they don't have to be buff or powerful to be their best and that will help our sons understand the world when they see the daughters that were raised to understand they don't have to wear dresses or makeup. They don't have to serve a man.

And thus the children will grow to see equals in one another.
