In this world and this modern society, the focus of depression and mental health has always focused on women. But mens suicide rates have always been several times higher than woman’s and continues to clime every year. The sad truth is, everyone knows why that is. It is because men mask their feelings. Men have never been able to express their feelings. But it’s not because we don’t want to. It is because it is impossible for society to take mens emotional problems seriously. Men cannot put on as much of a show as women can when it comes to how they feel. Even to see a grown man crying is a strange sight to see.

And if we ask anyone now in this modern society we know what they will say. We need to change peoples perspective about men expressing their emotion and how they feel. But that is not the solution. Because then that happens a man is no longer a man .

In this world we are seeing men take the blame for many things. Sometimes for things that weren’t even fault. I myself have experienced such accusations. And what made it worse was when everyone knew the truth they still preferred to blame me because that is what made them feel better.

And it this at that moment I realised something. And I stood tall and took their accusations on the chin and I said. I don’t care what you think of me. I don’t care what you say. Because I know the truth I know what really happened and you do too and we both know who the real bad guy is.

And because of equal rights groups and this new world where we are all treated equally we have forgotten what it means to be a man. To quote Gustavo fring from breaking bad A man provides for his family. And he does so even when he is not appreciated Or respected Or even loved He simply bares up and he does it For he is a man

For it is men who built the titanic and when it sank it was the women and children who were saved while the men went down with the ship. Because they were men and that was their responsibility. For what it means to be a man is to put other before yourself. Regardless if they want your appreciation. Because it is men who build this world and it is men who continue to support women.
