An incredibly succinct and accurate way to explain the overall condition & conditioning of manhood. 👏

Man here. I cry at movies, among other places.

Excellent assessment.

Preach

Well, that second paragraph, I agree sure is true, lol.

But it seems as though you're saying that men naturally don't cry, which if that's what you're saying, I don't think is really true. Men DO, of course, cry just like women cry, only we're dissuaded from doing it at a young age, and I guess, who's to say that's not good advice. Not to be macho or anything, but men do, technically have a lot to lose by crying. Girls, it's like often times they're taught it's good for them to do it to get whatever they want, and it's socially acceptable if not in actuality pleasant. But for a man it can be catastrophic. A lot of times also, you'll get these women who say they like sensitive men who cry, even that it's sexy. But really they're just deluded and when they really see a man cry they don't like it at all.

Men don’t cry because of social pressures and gender stereotypes . stop treating the suppression of emotions as normal thing

When you are a man you realize there is no point to waste energy on this communication. Because you learn that nobody really cares.

In other news.

Water is wet.

Ex gf said I was too emotional and it wasn’t manly. Just makes you never want to show any emotion again.
