Dear men,
I am writing this to you today not to complain
But to thank you for what you do!
A lot of you go under tremendous amount of torture, assault and harassment in your life, but only a few voice it out for others to know.
Why?
Because your traumas have never been addressed. Because your discomfort has always been seen as negligible. Because your ears have been told that men don't feel pain as you grew up.
Because you were ridiculed when you cried & acted soft. Because we, as a society failed to offer you basic human courtesy.
And I am sorry, however you must know that you aren't alone. You got every right to be what you wish to be.
You shall laugh, you shall cry, you shall do everything or absolutely nothing and that I am proud of you for doing what you do & there is no stopping you. I hate patriarchy but I don't hate you.

For I know, the men I am writing this to, are precious. I want to let you know that you are precious
We, women go through a lot, evidently so. You, men go through a lot too, but no so evidently. You are expected to do the big & little things everyday. Earning a livelihood for the family, paying the bills, building a house for them, taking care of their safety,security and health, helping the ladies & children with their luggage & baggage, every time they travel with you, leaving your seat for women while using the public transportation
along with numerous other thoughtful gestures and all of this without complaining.
