RE: He too can cry...

I appreciate your perspective, and I agree that men often carry emotional pressure silently. But I also believe men have the power to change this from within. Vulnerability becomes normal when real people choose to model it.
Women can support, but we can’t heal or express emotions on behalf of men.
That shift has to come from men themselves choosing honesty over suppression.
One man deciding to feel openly already changes the culture more than we realize.

I absolutely agree with you @pauliinasoilu, it is majorly in the hands of men. When I speak of how the society have influenced men to admit less emotion, I recognise men as being part of the society. I even highlighted it in my article here: "the very fact that even men connote this assertion makes it worse, it shows how much the poor gender lies to himself". Men are no doubt part of their problem...
The most important thing for me is that the society (men and women alike) begin to realise that men as much as women got emotional challenges too. Now this does not have to do with how the male victim feel, but how others (men and women who are part of the society) feel about him. Just like we see vulnerability in women, we should also be able to see them in men. By we, I mean everyone; both men and women.
