I want to say something, I've been having it in for a while anyways.

Societal standards set up for guys has made them see some things that is just mere being human and normal as a sign of weakness.

These Standards are incorporated into them at an early age and groomed till they can't get away from it anymore. Thereby seeing it as normal

They're told to be "Men" act like a Man" as they'll call it .

These guys grow up seeing showing Emotions as being weak BUT ability to show emotions is what makes us Humans

Crying, being sad and stuff isn't a sign of weakness. You've bottled issues and emotions for too long because you were trying to "Be a man" You should let them out once in a while

I don't even want to get started on the pressure to be "Perfect" To be seen as successful and being"A man" The responsibilities dumped on the male population and the quest to be "Perfect"

It's totally okay to take your journey at your own pace , it isn't you being "Lazy" or not being "A man" It's simply you being a Human and taking things one step at a time

Loving your partner/Spouse/ Girlfriend right and showing that you care doesn't make you "Weak" confiding in her doesn't make you "less of a man" doing stuffs for her, doing chores for or with her doesn't make you a "Weak" man. It makes you a loving one

Crying when you get fed up with how situations turn out and getting comfort from her doesn't make you "weak" it means you're "Human" just like everyone else and deserve to let emotions out too

And the pressure that comes from the female population and family members on guys is outright "SUFFOCATING" Constantly comparing them to those who's lives got better first and at a quicker pace before theirs gives a speedy fall to their self confidence

This has to stop. The male population shouldn't be treated like they're humans without emotions or rights to feel sad and down. They should be let to know that those are what makes them , us , everyone humans and it's totally okay to show EMOTIONS

"Be a hard guy" " Be a hard guy" Oh please leave them alone!!

What I'm saying is, Be a hard guy when necessary but know that you're Human and free to show your Emotions.

I spoke about this because it's a crucial matter that doesn't get enough attention as it should. Guys are humans too and don't have to shoulder everything. With all these being said, I think I'm done.

I'd add more if I think of any more. Peace.
