What It Means To ‘Be A Man’ In Today’s World

What does it mean to “Be a Man“? Almost every guy in the world has heard the words “man up”. To society, this means exhibiting very little emotion, crying especially, is out of the question. Gender roles, are a set of guidelines society has imposed upon men and women as a result of culture and history. There’s a pervading sense of powerlessness among men, and it’s a consequence of them being unable to express themselves. Boys are twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD, more likely to act out in class, and 30% more likely to drop out of school.  If this is what it costs to “be a man”, it’s too much.
