Growing up I found myself hanging out with women much more than men. I never felt like I had as much in common with guys. This caused me to grow a deep appreciation and empathy for many of the experiences of my homegirls. Contrary, however, this caused some of my more hyper-masculine peers to call my sexuality into question, or seeing me as a "simp" and created very irregular friendship dynamics with my homegirls in different moments. In this episode, I unpack how my consistent platonic relationships with women directly & indirectly affected my sense of self in relationship to how I view my own masculinity.
