Sensitive is Weakness, Says Who??

Since birth, men were taught to be strong and willing to overcome emotional and physical pain. However not all men are build nor think the same way. Even I have cried when I got psychologically conflicted by someone I cared so much than myself...I havent talk to her since then. What do you think? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/70df06d50dfecc9580795654c4c910b8b37c7205fe5afcc0bdb292b959187af5.gif

Yes there is this cultural expectation that has beenaround that men are supposed to all be invincible superheroes. It a load of ish if you ask me. We are all configured differently. We all function differently as humans. For example, I'm a weirdo compared to America's expectation of men. I don't think, want, or act like a "man". Don't feel pressured into being the stereotypical "man". You be what you want to be

Do what you want. I don't like outwardly sensitive people too much since I'm not sensitive.. But I don't care whether a man is sensitive or not. Not my choice to make. But I would argue that this expectation is no longer as enforced as you seem to think it is. In Western European countries it definitely isn't much of a big deal for a guy to be a softie. Besides, girls who are tough and aloof get such gender role shit, too. Emancipation is used as a curse word in some parts of the Internet. So there's that.

Sensitivity and emotions are things that can cause you pain and suffering. It's something people can take advantage of and use against you. Anything that can do that or give others an advantage is by definition a weakness. I think you're going about this the wrong way. It's not about denying weakness is there, because it is. What I think would be best to do is accept or even embarrass the weakness. It's okay to have weaknesses, you're only human after all. It's normal for people to have weaknesses, typically in the form of friends family and loved ones. No one would look down on a person who admits their wife is their weakness. By going into denial with your weaknesses you're still playing into the same system of male 'gender roles' you're advocating against where in you're not allowed to have a weakness. I'd say it takes a lot more strength to admit you have a weakness rather than pretend it isn't one or make up excuses for it.

i hate crying over something real dumb. i just want to smack them, it only lasts a few secands though then they go back to being a ass

ME NO FEEL. ME PUNCH THINGS! ME ALL THAT IS MAN! In all honesty I'm not sure who is telling certain people that being sensitive is a weakness. Not once in my life has someone called me weak for having feelings. Is this a thing? For realsies?
