it doesn't work that way

it has been ingrained into human sub-consciousness that men are meant to be leaders, problem-solvers, geniuses, heroes, and all sorts of good things. it has been hammered into us from a young age, from cartoons to movies, spiderman, james bond, batman, superman, it’s all over the place.

men are supposed to save the day, no matter what. of course, there’s wonderwoman, but no one really takes her seriously. and as guys, we want to take problems into our own hands. we want to fix things, help every possible person who needs help. we want to be important, just like our favourite superheroes.

and we are expected to do so. the alpha male is a desirable object.

the sad part is, superheroes are called ‘super’ for a reason, and we aren’t really super, despite what many would like to believe.

no one taught us to fight like batman, and there aren’t any radioactive spiders to bite us either. and too bad most of us didn’t manage to grab some mutant genes before we popped out of a smelly hole.

we are normal. so maybe everyone shouldn’t put so much pressure on the men to come up with great things because no one taught us how to. guys should stop trying to save the day all the time, and girls should stop expecting us to do so as well.

the world would be a better place.
