I don't have children so maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way. My boyfriend has a 6 year old son and he seems to really support his son showing his feminine side. I know what I'm about to say isn't "technically" feminine but let's be real. This isn't something typical fathers do.

He has his son say daily affirmations in the bathroom mirror. Like "I'm smart" "I'm kind" "I'm handsome" "I'm strong". And it's cute. But that seems like a very maternal thing to do. He encourages him to show emotions and use I feel statements and while none of that's bad, he doesn't seem like the type to be disciplinary towards him. I know he said he lost him in the foster system because of drug use and he's probably just trying to make up for it but it sounds like he's more worried about making up for something his son probably doesn't even remember (I have no memories at 4) than making him into a strong man. Yes men can cry but it just doesn't sound like he's being an example. Who am I though. Just a childless millennial ig
