The boy sobbed on, his pink eyes spilling tears. [His] father let out an exhausted sigh. Then he looked over at my 2-year-old. Pointed at him. Look at that boy over there. Hes not crying. He knows youre not supposed to cry. Ive heard this nonsense far too many times. Boys being told that they shouldnt express themselves. Being told, even, that its something only girls do. What is this mad, widespread delusion? Simple: Its the delusion that masculinity is king. That aggression, toughness and competition trump compassion, expression and collaboration. Weve short-changed our boys and men by defining masculinity in such a way as to constrict the complex essence of their humanity. - Rhoda Jordan, The Huffington Post Whats your take?
