Since this community exists, I want to talk about the importance of being able to take care of yourself as a man. I think it’s essential that a man can take care of himself and of his space. How can a man completely love himself if he can’t care for his home and basic needs? These are basic things about ourselves as humans that aren’t taken care of in situations of depression or worse. In this case, it’s as if the majority of men were in a situation of depression if he can’t have a woman to take care of everything for him.

This needs to be addressed. Men should be able to take care of themselves by means of being able to take care of his home and his space. Kids, male and female, should be taught about this. It’s a lesson of self-care, productivity and ableness to fulfill a whole life without overdepending on others. It’s also a move for resistance against the organized society that are forcibly fed onto us as humans.

    Lately I’ve been telling myself, “I am my own dream husband” — I find it so easy to pour love into a partnership and take care of a woman — but less so serving myself the same way

    If I had a dream husband, he would take care of the home and himself, just as stated. He would be handsome and balanced, fit and financially capable. It feels good to find my independent masculinity in this way, alone
