When you think deeply about it, throughout history, from childhood, to adulthood, the society has never been fair to men.

They tell men to suck it up even when upset. Men don’t cry; they’re not supposed to be weak even when they’re tired. If you die, you die. “Just be a man!”
Apparently, the things that are supposed to kill men faster is what makes them “real men” in the society back then and even today.

During world war, men were drafted. During hunting and gathering, men were at the fore front. For construction and mining, men were sent.
The demand to raise money at a short period of time, build or rent a house, own a car and a flourishing business while also obtaining a college education before getting married, is just too demanding.

Even men don’t treat their own men gently. They expect them to take any
Form of abuse with kindness and suck it up, because they are men. If he can’t meet up like other men, he is not a man. A man becomes honored when he dies (like a man).

When he comes home with little or nothing, his woman will tell him that he’s not a real man.
He needs to go out there and hustle like a man. But funny enough, we don’t often hear, “be a real woman.”
“Go our there and hustle like a woman.”
“Fight so you may be honored like a woman.”

Just be a man.
