Gómez concurred, saying, “Sometimes, things get uncomfortable during my performances. It’s alright if people disagree with me, but it’s important that they hear me out and understand what I’m saying in the right context. We’re definitely going to need more such moments when two opinions collide because we can never have change if one opinion dominates. It’s going to take many an exchange, both of the courageous and uncomfortable kind.”
His is a story worth reading, so if you’d like to give the interview a proper read, head over to The Label by Louis Philippe. You’ll also find an excellent video link there that has Carlos talking about his very own ‘Man Up Moment’.

Thanks for stopping by my blog too, Brad! And really glad you enjoyed the piece and the fact that many men like you are ‘unlearning’ all the rules they were made to follow. I hope you checked out the entire interview; the link’s in the blog post itself. Have a great day ahead!

Thanks for following my blog. This “man” thing can be a conundrum since early imprinting is hard to overcome coupled with pressures to persevere no matter what. Nice post.

Hi John, absolutely agree with you. Thankfully, as Carlos put it, there’s a growing movement of men that’s helping them to overcome or unlearn what they were taught,and this too, might play a big role in helping a young boy realise that it’s all right to just be friends with a girl, or for a man to look at a woman as a comrade — and to realise that women are not just meant to be dated or to have a sexual relationship with.
Many thanks for stopping by my blog too!

Real men cry: One man’s mission to redefine the term masculinity. I’ve never bumped up (reblogged) any of my stories before, but this one is relevant to date.
