I do love this. I remember hearing a comedian -- a "comedienne," as female comics used to be called -- who had a riff about crying and aging as a woman, and saying something like, "The older I get, the more I leak." This is very true, regardless of gender. And it's not a bad thing. Well done once again, Chuck. Take it from someone who, to extrapolate the phrase, takes a lot of leaks in his old age. Love you. Pops.
Something that goes hand in hand with your post on crying I do think something that is becoming more normalized, but has a way to go for us hetero cisgender males is expressing love for others and our male friends. it is definitely something that I biw try to make a conscious effort on and it has a similar freeing effect as you described with the crying.
Hope y'all are having a great week. Thanks again for writing.

For sure. Hearing "I love you" from a guy friend is such a powerful thing, but it can feel scary & uncomfortable at first
