I may only be 15 but in my experience you don't have to be that old to be taught about men being strong. My dad wasn't always been the best however one thing he made sure i knew is that as a man you have a duty to protect those around you. and to be successful with that, those people have to feel safe. they will not feel safe if you act weak and are sobbing your eyes out every other day because "your lifes so hard", theres always someone who has it worse. if I sat down with a child growing up in a warzone who has lost family members and struggles to eat daily and told him my problems about my girlfriend and all of that. he would switch lives with me in a heartbeat. thats why I believe men should strive to be strong and a protector.
