25 men reveal the things they truly enjoy that are often considered to be 'unmasculine' - it's eye-opening

With the exhausting norms set by society with regard to gender, people are often forced to adhere to the practices that fit these stereotypes. Knowing how to fix the lights if you're a man and being an expert with household chores if you're a woman is an outdated concept. However, people still rely on these predefined lists to understand what is "masculine" or "feminine." While there is no such rule book, trying to accept and live by this ridiculous lie has people missing out on so much. What about the men who love gardening or the women who are skilled with insurance? There's no harm in trying your hand at everything and picking what suits you best.
