I came upon the following blog and thought I just had to post it. One of the most intelligent and heart-warming blogs I have ever seen. Though not mine.
This forum, unfortunately, has it's fair share of people who first won't read the entire blog, or if they do, will quickly mock it. That is a shame and shameful, but it is what it is. Nevertheless the author had wise words to pass on and I can ONLY wish people will read it in entirety and with an open-mind.

A Word for Young Men
Dear young male friends:
I’m here to share some insights gained in my 71 years of being a white male heterosexual American, advice that is the product of lessons I’ve learned, in many cases, the hard way.
I am good with being who I am. I’m here to offer suggestions that might help you be good with who you are, too, in ways that are good for you and for those around you. Because there’s a lot of toxic rhetoric floating around us these days, messages that uphold your sense of self by tearing down the sense of self of other people.
There’s another way.
A major reason I’m good with who I am is that I feel better when I let other people be good with who they are. I don’t need to belittle or demean them so that I can have pride in myself.
Neither do you.
The rest of the blog in this link:
Agree or disagree with the author's frame of mind, but hopefully, do so respectfully.
