TOUGH GUY'S ARE SENSITIVE TOO


This is an article from the Irish Times, published on September 10, 2019.

"Fears for tears: why do we tell boys not to cry?"

The article does grab my attention and makes me wonder, why society has the perception that boys cannot cry?

If a boy falls to the ground and begin to cry, his mother will say to him "Clean yourself, don't cry, and be a man"

A man loses his loved ones, but he is too shame to let his tears fell in front of the public. Why? Because he wants to keep his image of masculinity. 

If a groom cries when he saw the bride walk down the aisle, people say he is over-dramatic, but actually, he is being grateful and is showing his love towards his bride.



"Be a MAN"

"Big boys DON'T CRY"

"Boys shouldn't cry, you're not a cry baby"

STOP TORTURING MAN WITH THIS CRUEL PERCEPTIONS,

Man does have feelings,

Man does have the rights to cry,

Man does have the rights to express his feelings,

Man is also a NORMAL HUMAN-BEING. 

Most of the people who are having depression are men. Do you want your brother, husband, 
male best friend to have depression just because "Man Can't Cry"?
