Masculinity blown out of proportion

Men carry the heavy weights. Men are the ones who earn the family bread. Men make all the decisions. Men handle all the money. Men don't cry. All that represents power and control belong to the man while the woman is the "woman behind the man". Masculinity comes from being proud of being a man. A man in different situations gives a man in that situation a particular attribute. A man who is around when things are being lifted is supposed to lift things and leave the women around to relax. A man is supposed to be street smart. A man always rides geared bikes. A man is physically, emotionally and mentally strong. He shows no weaknesses. If the father is dead, the eldest brother takes over because he has been passed down the role of the man/head of the house.

Men have always been associated with being "macho". To be in control is a mans comfortable position. He's got to show the world that he's the man-that he has got it all under control. Is masculinity all about being macho? Masculinity comes from self-pride (so does feminity).

Being proud of yourself is no sin but when it is driven into your head that a man is that and this you'd naturally want to be so because that is what you have been told. Men may have the physical marking of being strong but he has a heart and soul just like the opposite sex.

He too gets hurt. He too gets his sentiments offended. He wants to cry when some his love dies. He needs a helping hand when he needs one. Masculinity has been taken to extremes. Sometimes a woman comes along to take that place that he has always been taken by a man and he should just let it be because its allright.

He doesn't have to prove to himself that he is a man of the proportions that he is. He knows how much of a man he is and how much of a man he wants to be. Everybody else may not know but he does. What is important is that he uses his masculinity to his advantage and his efficiency. Basically, everybody should just chill out and be as masculine or feminine as they like.
