Normalize feeling like a man as somebody who is given space to feel anything beyond anger or shame. A man needs to feel like he can talk about things on his mind at any given time, to anybody he trusts. A man is somebody who can cry when he is hurting, and it be okay; that he won’t be labeled as weak or a coward.
Those aren't traits of a man. Those are traits of a human. Both other than that, 100% agree a person needs that.
That’s the entire point. Traditionally, men are not treated like a human being. They are expected to be something else entirely, and it’s both not fair and infeasible.
I'm sorry you feel that way. But as a testicle-American I can say the feeling is not universal.
Look at Mr. Well-Adjusted over here.
