Sometimes we hear people say big boys don't cry but to be honest sometimes big boys cry. The popular musician Lucky dube sang in the song,"big boys don't cry, big boys don't cry, but sometimes they cry." Although the social world have made it known that men are not supposed to cry no matter what or the situation they are into. But reality knows nothing about that.
Society believe that men are the stronger part of gender and everything that comes both physical and emotional, that men are supposed to the physical strong emotionally Ready for anything. Sometimes it works and sometimes, it doesn't work. Situation everybody is expecting mind and big boys too pull up and maintain that which is society was about it, that signals encourage them to always be strong and bold.
Just take a minute to think about this, what if the society and the social World Is Not pressing on men, or rather has no gender difference when it comes to physical world and emotional strength and capacity, do you think men will fit the same way with women, in a situation where you say men are strong, it will be replaced with men and women are strong, there will be an equilibrium in it. Don't you think that without the social media and the social world, and what they say about men, that's men can easily cry without the fear of societal response?.
Call emotions are valid, really hear it in men situation. When you see a man cry, you tend to know more and more that causes the crying, but then, when it happens to a woman you can definitely conclude that it is emotional shifting.
Therefore the society I've made it openly that men are supposed to be strong and we have accepted it that we as well, look like a crime to see a man, the young grown up man, crying.
Not quite long ago, I was having this same related discussion with some persons in discord, then we spoke about places where men can be emotionally down, or physically weak, I need to be approved by the society, in places of funerals, I'll health.etc you can add the ones you feel it should be included. So anything that is not within the space of these things, men are considered to be weakly.
This is emotion and sometime it swings. However, supposed to be stronger society and in everything they do, society tells us that.
