I Believe That Women Should Treat Men With Respect

"I believe that boys, feeling ashamed of their vulnerability, mask their emotions and ultimately their true selves. This unnecessary disconnection--from family and then from self--causes many boys to feel alone, helpless, and fearful. And yet society's prevailing myths about boys do not leave room for such emotions, and so the boy feels he is not measuring up. He has no way to talk about his perceived failure; he feels ashamed, but he can't talk about his shame, either. Over time, his sensitivity is submerged almost without thinking, until he loses touch with it himself. And so a boy has become 'hardened,' just as society thinks he should be."
--Real Boys
When families,society don't give them enough room to express their emotions or accept them and in return they humiliate them for feeling so,these boys become cruel men later in their lives,i wish we change our mindset.
I have seen too many guys going suicidal because they had to keep every thing to themselves.
