One of the best things we can do as a society is stop looking at gender as binary opposites. Conversations around what it means to be masculine or feminine often start with an either/or approach: boys are tough/girls are nice, boys are good at math/girls are good at English, boys are rational/girls are emotional, boys like blue/girls like pink, etc. We have to start a new conversation that allows both men and women the freedom to identify with aspects of their personality without feeling too “feminine” or too “masculine.”
