You have to respect people’s masculinity, too.

Femininity is always respected, right? A lot of talk goes into respecting women and feminine women and feminine needs and whatnot. Well, masculinity also deserves respect. One of the things that masculine people, masculine women included, don’t really like is maternal love energy in a hug from someone OTHER than their closely bonded mother, particularly from strangers. Now, feminists say phrases like ‘it’s not WHAT YOU SAY, it’s how you say it” or “It’s how he makes you feel,” this is a somewhat similar thing. Difficult to explain but real. Many women only have a maternal response to other people, and it’s… Icky when it’s not your actual mom… sometimes even when she is.

Women, too, need to learn to pull their energy inside when it’s not welcome and learn to sense when it isn’t.
