Current Events > Boys don't cry.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yes. But it's bs

Everyone cries. There's nothing to be ashamed of.

My father cried when he had to carry his father's ashes to his grave. Like his brother at his side.
My boyfriend cried with me when we had to put our cat down.

I'm always reading All this alpha or sigma male bs and it just paints a picture of men that is unrealistic and toxic af.

But that's my opinion

Society it enforces it, but this generation is fighting against it.

Thats a good thing.

Boys dont cry because its Friday Im in love.

Unfortunately the fight is largely lip service, but it's better than nothing I guess

there is a difference between a death, a forever goodbye, or a tragedy that will end in economic ruin and well. Crying over anything else

lots of other things hurt too

men need to learn to be vulnerable with each other

usually the act of doing so is much feared but as soon as it's done, provided it's with a good friend, there's reciprocation and the friendship matures meaningfully

most of what we're told is desired from women is actually just that men not bottle their shit up and then explode

which means saying "i don't like that" when she behaves poorly and being willing to leave when she is clear that she won't change

which runs against a lot of other things we teach to men unfortunately

And even people who say you need to open up hate when men open up. Like think of the insults that even progressive minded people throw out at men. With out even thinking about the implications .

Oh I know, says it all.

there is this Reddit topic where hundreds (literally) of men say their partners stopped being attracted to them after seeing them cry

Attracted? Ohhhhh, partners... I thought you said parents lol.

That's the name of a movie.

That seems to be the case with most online ignorance. It's very easy to let people like that shape your entire world view. You rarely ever run into people who aren't nuanced when you're offline tho. Even if on the surface they say something that sounds extreme. A couple thought out follow up questions can really flesh out your understanding of their understanding. But, if you follow up with judgemental accusations, you might likely get the person to dig their feet in rather than elaborate on their first comment.

Sometimes the way you act towards people ends up influencing the ignorance of the rest of the conversation just as much as their first comment you got sparked from did.

Show tolerance towards the intolerant and you'll be surprised with the results sometimes. Might walk away with a more optimistic view than if you build the rest of your view of them off assumptions and generalizations from what you read online.
