I get your point, Ali. I come from a country with strong gender bias and we hear the specifically derogative women or men-related adjectives all the time. So yes, I am all for calling myself a strong person too. And yet, I also want to say I am a strong woman, not in comparison to other women but simply to describe myself as such. And yes, men must acknowledge that it is absolutely okay to be vulnerable. It isn't a weakness. Some years back I wrote a post - stop teaching your sons boys don't cry. Oh, I love how you write! 💜
