There are areas of being human that are incompatible with some of the
traditional views of being an occidental male. Some of the fiercest
enforcers of this kind of limit are other men.  

It's not disagreement, exactly, but you may want to reconsider your
assumption that men have no such limits inside their heads, and that
they don't compromise their lives to honour them.  It's not just
communities of gender that have such cultural baggage, but that's
another thread, I suspect..

Are my dreams welcome?
