You should be a man!
Andre just lost his wife and in the midst of all the consolatory messages, everyone said in the end 'Be a man'
John was at the verge of losing his house to foreclosure. Friends said 'Be a man'
Timi for the 8th time failed the promotional exams. 'Man up, forget it, you'd ace it next time'
The society keeps throwing it on men
From childhood you're indoctrinated to the 'Be a man's club' which simply means you're not entitled to any show of emotions no matter what cos those who do a termed weak. Swallow up your hurts, mask the pain in your muscularity, don't shed a tear and if you must, do so behind closed doors, you don't get to talk, truly talk about your feelings
Oh for centuries the men have been taking and holding it in
Today, we're all crying out
Our men won't open up to us
Men are depressed, their life span is shortened blablabla
Today, we want them to talk to us after raising them otherwise
We as a new people can do better
Teach our sons to be in touch with their feelings, to express and be themselves and not hide under the cloak of masculinity.
