Your writing is immaculate. The fact that patriarchy makes men hide their boyhood as they transition from a boy to a man makes this essay rare. I wish this essay helps men who read it to let themselves free and let their boyhood, trapped in them, breathe. It truly changed my perspective on boyhood. Thank you for that.

You make some incredibly interesting points I'll be thinking about for a while; it's got me thinking about reflections on my own childhood, which I don't feel fit a "girlhood", but it seems worth analysing. Thanks for writing!

Thank you so much for this. (I am not a boy.) (I feel like I understand many things a lot better: your prose manages to be at once dream-like and succinct.) This was a gorgeous essay. Cling onto the best parts of that old boyhood.
