"Kalahira, this one's heart is pure, but beset by wickedness and contention."

It's interesting to read the arguments about the authenticity of love when sexuality is not involved. 

There's just the tiny problem, that no one can be objective about the matter. You are either a sexual person and can't really understand the nature of love without sex and asexual's can't really understand the role of sex in love; what it gives to it. Or that's how I feel. Who knows in how many different ways the opinions varies.

I wasn't able to stuck the poll on this post in any sensible way so it's a bit of a mess up there.

Another subject I thought writing  about is the surprising(?) disgust among women towards men in emotional state - for example crying. I don't know how many women find emotional responsive off-putting or if it just varies - which is something I like to think to be the answer, but I find it a bit troublesome. Not for me anymore but for others and for the over-all gender-equality. It is difficult to show emotions and it is almost physically difficult to cry. I haven't been able to shed a tear even when I have wanted to in hopes of getting some kind of relief from that. The only time - and the last time - I cried was because of my ex. I was a lot of times in emotional torment with her not to mention a depression that was slowly getting worse. Depression is a real emotion-booster, too much so and it consist only of sadness of all varieties.

But then I've noticed situations when other men have became emotional either by crying out of sadness or just being open with affection or empathy, and it had made the women in the situation disgusted.

That is something I can't understand. I literally cannot even try to comprehend what goes in their minds when they act like it is not alright for men to show emotions and vulnerability.  Women have a gift and a curse to be emotional, and men don't have it the same way. Even in physical pain, I've never shed a tear. Even when I have been emotionally and physically exhausted, at the end of my strength, I've not been able to cry to relieve my own suffering. When men cry, it's usually either intense pain that comes from something like a bone slicing through the skin and muscle or emotional pain from something actually worth crying about. I do feel a bit offended by the attitudes toward emotional men, since I am somewhat emotional myself and when I hear someone getting rejected over tears I do get annoyed. I feel like I should explain that if some man cries for you, you should be happy that he loves you enough to feel the kind of pain that makes him cry.

But enough with my ranting. I see the world and the people in it a bit oddly, perhaps. I still believe that we are all our own unique personalities though there are similar effects from the gender-stereotypical upraising.
