I know I mentioned this before, but it’s something I want to expand on. As I direct everyone’s attention to this: http://montanarosalie.tumblr.com/post/85509964957 you may notice something in the last picture. Hook is crying, too. Why does that matter?
I don’t know about how men are raised in the rest of the world, but there is a problem in our older generation here where I live. Many of our men, my father-in-law included, were taught that to be seen crying in front of a woman made them a sissy. I guess the purpose was to make these men tough and durable, but it also in many cases, made them devoid of empathy, and had them wearing a ficade of “macho” in their lives where you never really got to see who they were, or what was important to them.
I know all of this may sound silly, but there is a very special element of genuine honesty I see in a man who isn’t afraid to cry. I think it’s important that men be strong for their women yes, but how can a man be there for his woman, if he won’t let her know what he is feeling?
Just an observation which for me, was a very important part of their relationship development in the finale.
