Haven't we classically romanticized being a man? In fact can't we say we've done so to the point that it's unhealthy? That the virtues of "men" like strength and honor and success have been made expectations? Instead of trying to reinforce that maybe we should teach the positive side of what men have been taught all along, but teach strength doesn't mean holding in emotions- strong can be vulnerable. That being decisive doesn't mean you always have to be in control, or place everything on your shoulders. That "not being a man" doesn't make you less of a person if you aren't He-man or Jason Borne or Bruce Wayne? Women aren't being told these things for inequality- it's because they haven't been told. They were told to be compliant, quiet, meek, and nurturing. Women need to be told they can be strong and brave, they can be "men" too and be responsible and decisive. Men need to be told less. Men need to be allowed to be nurturing and compliant and meek if they like and not be judged by it
Are people really so pathetic nowadays that they need vague inspirational quotes posted by somebody that has no personal relationship with you whatsoever and would walk past you on a sidewalk without even giving you a second glance, because it’s just the way things are in the real world, to feel better about themselves? Jesus H Christ.
I think it's a cultural thing. Over here is the east we don't really feel the need to call ourselves princesses and kings or anything actually. We just say what we should be rather than what we think we are.
Why the downvote? Upvote for you. Harold is one of the actual theories- from a common misunderstanding of the word hallowed as in "hallowed be thy name" in the Lord's Prayer by children. Other theories include it is from the Latin initials of Jesus: iota-eta-sigma. That would look like IHS and could be transcribed as IHC on religious iconography like pendants work by clergy. The font could easily allow an English reader to see JHC. Another theory is "Holy" and holds that it's a "cheat" where one isn't technically committing blaspheme as they haven't said the lords name in vain- just a similar name. The same idea as saying "darn" instead of "damn." No one really knows however. The phrase has existed since at least the 1800's with anecdotal evidence to support it.
I can't lie, I identify as a Carnotaurus. I'm so sorry for this betrayal. ;_;
