I think that men are seen as unemotional or insensitive because of society’s push for men to not show those emotions and conceal them. If they were to express those emotions they’d be seen as weak or feminine. Something I also noticed is that women are stereotyped as too emotional but men have these emotions as well, just told to keep it to themselves. Is it possible that women are stereotyped this way because they actually express themselves? Would men also be said to be too emotional if they weren’t told to conceal how they feel?

As a man myself, I agree that men talk too little about their feelings with one another. I find myself only talking about my feelings to my female friends. To be honest, before watching this video, I never realized that I did this, and I think that talking to some of my male friends about emotions would give me another perspective.

I recall hearing the phrase "act like a lady" for the first time in first grade. I wanted to play knockout with the boys instead of sitting on the side with all the girls. And the boys don't want me to play, so they've called me a variety of names and told my teacher about it.

My male teacher advised me to "act lady like  and just sit out." If anything that made me want to play more out of spite and I ended up winning the game.

survivors of sexual assault who spoke about what happened ad how they were perceived because of it- either man or woman but since women are commonly talked about when the topic of sexual assault, how was a man perceived?

When hearing the phrase “be a man”, as a woman it doesn’t effect me as much hearing it but from a male standpoint I feel they are always pressured to act as this tough, non-emotional man that society views them as but most men don’t feel like they can open up as something more than just the person they are viewed by as society. The phrase “act like a lady” I can relate to from being a girl in the world of 2022. In today’s society females are advertised as the object for a male, and weak without someone by there side. For me being a lady means being strong and independent by myself and standing up for my position and place in the world today.

I wish there wasn’t as much of a stigma around men going to therapy or showing their emotions because the world would be a much healthier place if they weren’t taught to keep everything to themselves.
