Masculinity: A Wish List

Dear Masculine Men,
I wish you would stop trying to force me into your box.
I wish you wouldn't try to make me play your game.
I wish you didn't make me feel ashamed to be who I am.
I wish you would avoid belittling me to build yourself higher.
I wish I didn't have to tiptoe around your ego.
I wish you wouldn't look down on me for liking what I like.
I wish you would let me express myself around you.
I wish you would let me make my own decisions about my own life without judgment.
I wish I could live freely without being chained to your perspective.
I wish you would, just for once, consider that there is another way.

I wish that when I look at you, I could think about something other than this. I think I wish that most of all.
