I feel like stereotypes are the basis for men's rights, women's rights, equality, gender issues, racial issues, etc.

Feminism focuses on women's stereotypes because stereotypes of women have led them to have lower pay than men, etc. in the past.

However, while I would say about 65% of progress has been made to completely destroy the female stereotype of a SAHM, there is I would say a 2% progress in defeating the stereotype that men should be "manly" and "work for the money".

Many people these days laugh at SAHD, or bachelors in their 40s, simply because they chose to live their lives a different way. They also laugh at those who aren't strong enough, those who cry, because they were faced with a hardship, while MULTIPLE ARTICLES stated that crying is good for us.

At the end of the day, stereotypes are the sole reason for all the judgment on first glance issues around the world. I hate the fact that, well, we are told to "man up". This is the exact reason why 78% of suicides are men while there are more suicide attempts of women, it is because there are not enough help centers for men, and family and friends are NOT helping by telling them to "man up" and "stop being a boy". Unfortunately, if I want to cry, I will cry, because I am clearly upset about something, you are not allowed to tell me to "man up" because I got physically or mentally hurt.
