i.e it's a weakness?
which is equally problematic
but honestly its code for 'that's gay'

even the whole, im teaching my son to be tough
is harmful
human beings are social creatures
and part of that is that we react positively to touch.
be it hugs, holding hands etc. and thats not gender-based
although we make it so
i feel sad for little boys who aren't held enough
because we want to toughen them against society
(even that statement is beyond pathetic to me)
