🇪🇸 El Cid in the House of Being

I resent men a little because they automatically get this presumed status of protector and the one who is respected for being the person who is called to die for his family if needed. A man’s odds of dying or getting maimed in the process of saving his family are probably 1000 times lower than a woman’s odds or getting maimed or dying in childbirth. Young guys are out there thinking that women live life in easy mode because we get 100 times more likes on dating apps. You think it’s so easy, but then the baby comes, and the last baby that came out of me was suddenly obstructed in a manner that left me permanently injured in my hips and pelvis, unable to walk a mile and unable to stand for more than 5 minutes for several years. Nothing happened to my husband. He’ll never have to risk life and limb saving any of us. That was me, and no one is going to see his 6’3” strapping self next to my 5 ft self and ever see us that way.
