How Men Are Judged For Being Emotional

I love my mom. She gladly would listen to me vent for hours if I asked her to. What a wonderful woman.

Idk if I’m even able to become sad anymore lmfao, like the amount of time I’ve been depressed, sad and alone just dried up my heart and tears. It’s kinda funny actually, well everything is nowadays because I just can’t bring myself to care about it any longer. I smile I laugh although I don’t know if they are real. But atleast I’m making the people around me do the same

my friend said something the other day, a woman will always find a man willing to fix him, a man can only fix himself.
i wasnt okay with it, but i cant deny that i have never seen one of my friends with someone willing to fix em. maybe its just us though

i feel like there's too much to this conversation for a short to do it justice

Men showing emotions makes women insecure so men aren't allowed to show emotions to women. Which is fine with me.

A truly angry man scares a good portion of people, especially women. It reminds us all of how we restrain ourselves within society, mostly our animalistic urges pertaining to violence, of which anger is often the catalyst.

I believe that the aforementioned may be a line of reasoning towards the issue of aversion to acceptance of male anger within societal structures at the level of ours.

Hmmm I think it's not that simple. On one hand men are allowed to be angry, but on the other I feel like we shouldn't show it. That's just part of society, masking our emotions and remaining a calm, unfazed person is just way cooler than being someone who explodes over the tiniest thing going wrong.

Agreed, but it’s because anger can be tied to violence especially for women in relationships. We should start to shift how we treat emotions, but it needs an understanding of that.

Feeling anger etc…feelings are fine. The issue often lay with what actions come along with those.

Man, being angry would be accepted, if every person ive ever known hadnt been assaulted by an angry dude at keast once… Seems like most of the world is tramatized by that kind of shit.

Honestly grief isn't accepted either. Men are told to express their feelings, but people really just want them to be stoic all the time

The original concept of toxic masculinity was coined by men to describe the fact that the only emotion it was societally acceptable for them to express is anger, and how damaging (i.e. toxic) that standard is for men and their well-being. It was men deconstructing harmful limitations on the ways they're allowed to express being men, not other people inventing it as a shame term.

so out of touch it's hilarious
