Because nobody cares. And if he does start talking about it, he's unmanly. Yes, to women too.
I've had no less than 3 women dump me directly after crying in front of them. Married one that has no issue with that, but still...
Yeah. Those advocates for gender norms who says girls can be anything too will immediately tell you to "man up" at the first sign of weakness. How about we knock out gender norms both ways?
Guess what im doing with my problems now? And im also not sharing my solutions to said problems after theyre resolved because itll be a "why didnt you handle that sooner?" Or some other bullshit about how you could have prevented it from even starting
Boo fucking hoo. Be unmanly. What has being manly ever gotten you? If you weren't so concerned about appearing manly, you wouldn't give a shit about that. That's your toxic masculinity as much as it is whomever is shaming you.
Ah yes, their support network refusing to support them if they dont fit the mold someone else has instilled upon them. Definitely self inflicted.
