To the gender who faces extreme pressure to take the homely responsibilities as soon as possible.... To the gender who sacrifices too their comfort and choices for the sake of the family! To the gender who needs care and affection yet chooses to stay strong.... To the gender who likes being pampered but never asks for! To the gender who also loves to get compliments and special treatments.... To the gender who is forced to fit in the "fake criteria of masculinity" by the society! When they can be simple, polite and sensible, They are asked to be strong,tall, rough and tough, have broad shoulders and six packs! To the gender whose mental health must be highly taken care of.... "Oh! You're a man, be strong and brave" is highly chanted!! To the gender who is treated harshly when pseudo feminism starts to act!! To the gender who gets hurts too yet chooses not to show.... To the gender who fights too, the toughest battles with a smile on their faces.... To the gender who now needs to break the stereotypes; For the sake of themselves and for the better functioning of our society... To all the men out there... Your voice matters Your well-being matters We care about your rights,your mental health and your happiness! And now WE as a society need to look into the important aspects of their life such as social,emotional,physical and spiritual.... I will ask you, both to cry and smile because you are free to express yourself!! May God bless you all.... Happy International Men's Day....
