Now,this may or may not be relevant to you, as I am speaking from experience, but it has helped me immensley, so I'll risk sharing.
"Yes, Masculinity and maturity are important. However, having 4 younger siblings (3 of them girls) I have been forced to do many "childish" and "girly" things against my will. However, I recently realized: Allowing your masculinity and maturity to instill a prideful hate of all things "girly" and "childish" is allowing society's view of you to dictate what you are willing to do and who you are willing to be.
In closing, Yes, be a man. Yes, take responsibility and take it seriously. But don't be afraid to do and even enjoy things considered girly and childish.""}
