Do you agree that society telling men to," man up," is a reason why many men keep things bottled up, when they are depressed or angry?

Let's be honest.

That alone, not really. But its how society do it. You notice that many specially women in our society likes to say men should open up about the feelings and they dont need to toughen up but on the end, they prefer strong and stoic men. Some likes to take advantage of men's feelings so they tell them to show it because its empowering. What truly made men more depressed is the lack of appreciation and no one bothers to motivate men anymore. They dont appreciate their stoicism and their natural men instinct but show their feelings once, its all shame.

No. Guys are in this situation because they are constantly blamed for everyones problems and being left aside in academia and the work force. Meaning that there is now a bigger percentage of guys with no degree and no job making them depressed and frustrated at the world. I'm not sure what the solution is, but giving them more opportunities by removing affirmative action would be a good start I think.

As long as men build their value on wealth, status, and their ability to protect, provide, and get sex from women, they will always be angry and depressed because that’s not what women need anymore.

Uh oh lol boy got triggered

[Steven8000]

I was referring to when men are angry or depressed about anything. It could be this topic you listed or any other topic. I was talking about any topic in which men are angry or depressed, they get told to man up

[Steven8000]

I got triggered with what? What are you talking about?

[Steven8000]

Look at my reply to you

[Opinion Owner]

No you, there was someone else who replied but I bugged off I guess.

[scentoflavender]

there's a difference in telling someone to man up while theyre complaining about a task they dont want to do, and telling them to man up when theyre confronting emotion.

[es20490446e]

No. The problem is people not being in charge of their own emotions and goals.

[disgustingweebtrash]

Everyone virtue signals this issue, no one genuinely cares so stop trying

[notwoke]

i think we need to go back to "man up" and stop encouraging men to act like simps

[Anonymous]

Or many men are babied now the days and they need to men up by the cause the real world will not care about the age of 12.

[Jaysonava]

Yeah they might have social pressures

[Cutiebhadie]

I think so
