It is unfair to label men who are not in touch with their emotions as not being real men. The societal expectation to “man up” has led to numerous difficulties for men. The use of such words is hurtful and abusive. I have personally witnessed the negative impacts of this mentality on a man close to me, and it only serves as a poor example. Society often portrays men as invincible superheroes and saviors, but men are just as human as women. They play a significant role in the creation of life, as their sperm is necessary to unlock the door to the egg.
