Boys Are Not Raised To Be Men; They're Raised To *Not* Be Women
Briefly

One man on TikTok noted that this line of thinking, like that of my daughter's classmate, is because parents tend to raise boys not to be men but instead not to be women.
He began, 'It got me thinking, as a man who grew up as a boy, we're never actually taught the things that make sense for boys to become good men.'
He continued, diving into one of the most archaic and rage-worthy stereotypes: women are too emotional, AKA, the entire reason for why the world is going to hell in a handbasket.
Men can't be emotional. So, men bottle up our emotions, which contributes to a lack of emotional maturity.
