Because men don't have feelings right?

Swoove · 2013-12-06T10:14:33+00:00

I'm having fun trying to imagine what kind of day that girl is having. Who the hell is she making kissy faces at for the entire first half of the morning??

Edit: lolwurds

The most unrealistic thing about that picture is that both men and women are shown to be happy first thing in the morning. Don't know what that could be: coffee? something in the coffee? something with the coffee?

As for the consistent smirk on the male faces:

Then women started entering the corporate world as something above clerical help and slammed right into the reality of the lives of the men they aspired to joining. What they found didn’t align, not at all, with their understanding of those men and those exciting, fulfilling lives they supposedly enjoyed at the expense of women – that unimpeachable understanding of the oppressor that all oppressed unfailingly have. They found cutthroat competition. They found dehumaninzing objectification of people as nothing more than units of production. They found they were 20 years behind their male peers in learning the social skills they needed to succeed – an impregnable, inscrutable game face that never, ever betrayed fear or pain, lack of any interest in pleasing people as a source of validation rather than benefit – basically learning all the things little boys had better learn before they are 10.

As I said when this image was posted on imgur, it does look that way because men aren't allowed to have feelings.

I just got a phone call last night from a young man who I've been helping through some difficult times. He's got major depression, and he has a hard time interpreting people's expressions, which has brought its own problems for him in university.

During this phone call, he was bawling. Crying. Sobbing so badly that I was afraid he'd pass out from hyperventilation. He was panicked, confused, lonely, sad, angry and terrified all in an inexplicably horrible wave of emotional turmoil. He ended up vomiting from the stress, and I had to get my sister to drive me out to his house to help him calm down.

Please, tell me more about how this Facebook "joke" is in any way funny, fair or realistic. Harmless as we may at first think it to be, several commenters have said it: it is a symptom, or reflection, of society's views on male and female stereotypes. I don't find it remotely funny, or even okay, and I'm not even that politically correct to begin with.

/r/mensrants pls

these low content posts are becoming more and more frequent and serve as nothing but a nudge, wink and a "i know right?". they're the karmabait of this subreddit.

I don't know that I would be offended by the picture, but to me it raises a valid point.

We are taught from an early age to suck it up, show no fear, show no weakness, walk it off..

Now that I'm an adult, I know that's not true. But at the same time, when something IS bothering me, half the time I don't know how to talk about it, why would anyone care anyway? The other half of the time I can't even determine what is wrong to even begin to try talking about it. It's like a form of self-suppression at this point. So, just ignore these bad feelings and move forward.

We're just supposed to be machines I guess. And it's not right. Unfortunately that is how a lot of us have been raised.

Yeah, it's women who have all the emotions, yet it's men who write the poetry, the symphonies and paint the ceilings of fucking chapels. It's a disgusting attempt at dehumanizing men by saying we have a very limited (i.e animal) emotional range. It is, in effect, hate speech.

eggilicious · 2013-12-06T11:22:36+00:00

Change it to expressed emotions version actual emotions and you have a good graphic for a stereotypical male in the western world

boddah87 · 2013-12-06T15:38:52+00:00

I actually agree with this, and not only that but it's my biggest complaint about women in general. If I'm upset but I don't want you to know that, then I'll make myself not look upset. Most women seem to lack the ability to hide their emotions.

I know hiding your emotions isn't always good, but when you're mad at your husband and you take it out on someone at work, then fuck you.

Tiiimmmbooo · 2013-12-06T17:19:10+00:00

It's quite true though...I'm a very relaxed easy going guy, but my girlfriend is constantly analyzing everything and getting worried about random stuff. Yeah, making generalizations is wrong, but it's pretty funny.

tjmac7 · 2013-12-06T17:49:51+00:00

"Because men don't have feelings right"? Or a sense of humour in this case or so it appears. Pick your battles young jedi lol.

DropkickMorgan · 2013-12-06T18:05:50+00:00

Real men hide their feelings. Why? Because it's none of your fucking business.

SRSLovesGawker · 2013-12-06T09:12:35+00:00

Clearly not a man who works in customer service.

Or as a cop.

Or a coal miner.

Or...

... any goddamn man at all, unless maybe one who has too strong a prescription for prozac.

Le4chanFTW · 2013-12-06T23:04:00+00:00

lol oh fuck this place really is turning into srs

I think it would be a bit absurd to equate this to misandry. I mean, you could go on a tirade about society's pressure on men to keep their feeling's hidden to appear masculine, but that would be a waste of energy. Ultimately this is just a semi-witty observation that someone made into an image and shared on facebook for the humor. Easy, fellas.

Luriker · 2013-12-06T17:58:31+00:00

I've considered doing an essay about the masculine gender role and the stifling of emotion. I myself am guilty more than anyone I know who claims to recognize gender roles of living them and operating within them. I was thinking about why I (and other guys) get pissed off at twitter accounts in our university's twitter-sphere from men that just go on about how they want "someone to wife" or "someone to care for," etc. and I was thinking about why the other day. It's not because I don't feel the same way, it's because it's my job not to go around telling people about it. Not to showcase that. I dunno.

KingOfEggsAndBacon · 2013-12-06T18:17:45+00:00

Did the lower part describe a woman's period?

zyguy · 2013-12-07T01:58:44+00:00

This would be true if you changed "men's day" to "Ryan Gosling in Drive"

KillJoy575 · 2013-12-07T03:26:55+00:00

Wow.

blueoak9 · 2013-12-06T17:11:31+00:00

Classic example of the objectification of men.

Marthat Nussbaum identifies this as "denial of subjectivity" when the object's feelings are denied or dismissed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectification

2013-12-06T13:11:41+00:00

I think you guys get your panties up in a bunch over nothing. It's just a joke pic.

MS2point0 · 2013-12-07T03:02:31+00:00

Seriously, wtf is this? How is this important to Men's Rights? Don't care if you call me a concern troll but this is a crap post. It's like getting angry at a Rage Face meme.

On second thought, it seems like alot of people that oppose this post are getting downvoted alot. Could this post be a "false-flag" attempt to make /r/mr look bad, as if we focus on menial stuff like this all the time and actually think it's important due to all the upvotes it gets?

VaginalAssaultRifles · 2013-12-06T17:32:57+00:00

Get the sand out of your vagina Nancy. It's funny. Stop being a femanist.

Maik3550 · 2013-12-06T18:14:55+00:00

Because men aren't neurotic pussies that's why.
