Masculinity is Jesus on the cross. Sacrifice. Giving it all for a worthy cause. Death to ego and readiness to suffer to allow goodness to take over. No fear in showing how far can one go to defend virtues worth dying for. Soft heart and strong actions.

Femininity is standing by the cross. Anti-fragility. Boldness. Witness. Beauty wasted on pointing others to what’s worth standing by. Strong heart and soft hands caring for the outcasts.

Both are heroic.

With all that talk about masculinity and femininity, this is my center. Everything goes toward it and flows from it.
