Why We Desperately Need To Stop Telling Guys To ‘Man Up’

Cue basically every adjective you can name to describe a guy who uses you, insults you or walks over you because now it’s completely acceptable for them to say “stop talking like a girl.” Because having or showing feelings now is known to be “girly.” We have enough of these type of men in this world and it’s already been stressful enough in trying to get rid of them. Let’s not increase the f*ck boy population and instead start striving for their emotional growth. Let’s strive for our society to openly accept that it’s completely fine to see a man upset, afraid, or even sad.

Let’s not let men get ignorant around the true definition of what it is to be a real man. A real man isn’t and shouldn’t fear the fact of crying in public, showing how much he cares for his personal interests, being afraid of their deepest fears, and displaying true affection for his loved ones. Every effort we have put into making this world a better place will just end up going down in a ditch if we choose to continue to back up the stigma that is telling a man to “man up” and we need to stop this pandemonium pronto because it’s not just for girls to cry or be afraid and it’s definitely not girly to be well, caring. It’s simply called being a human being.
