'You're a man, don't cry': Woman Laughs at Boyfriend For Crying After He Gets Fired, Her Friend Informs Her That 'She's the Problem' and Gives Her a Lesson in Harmful Stereotypes

Welcome gals of the internet. Let's take some time to discuss mental health. I know, it's not always a topic we want to think about, and sometimes it's better when we don't. But whether we acknowledge it or not, it's ever present and ignoring signs of sadness, depression, or anxiety. 

For women, it's more socially acceptable to be in touch with your emotions, in ways of verbally expressing them, as well as other expressions such as crying. But for guys, we all understand the pressure they have to constantly keep it together, to act like nothing happened, to repress and ignore what they feel. This Reddit piece highlights the difficulty of suppressing yourself, and how the 'toxic masculinity' epidemic is a real problem. 

What even is 'manly?' Usually it's associated with qualities like assertiveness, strength, and protection. But why can't a man have all of these, and also cry? Let the Reddit thread do the talking.
