Happy heat wave to all...
In this heavy heat there's question raised into my mind that why the society has given the stereotypical thoughts over Gender,Caste,Religion and a lot more untouched topics which we follow so blindly. Same as that one thing that has triggered me is,
It seems rights of crying, being alone, emotional breakdowns are only reserved for women Why??????
For such question there's one statement very famous says,
MARD KO KABHI DARD NAHI HOTA!
Right from our childhood a boy has shown as superior rather girl. Where they pamper a girl more than boy-child.So on this gender prejudice is never going to fade away.
Cultural beliefs and traditions play a significant role in shaping gender roles and expectations. Societies may have long-held beliefs about the appropriate roles, behaviors, and responsibilities for men and women, which are passed down through generations. These beliefs can influence societal norms and reinforce the creation of stereotypical barriers between boys and girls.
The Easiest way to see biased perspective is
They see their daughters as their "Lucky charm" in other way "Ghar ki Lakshmi". they see their boy child as "their shied" in other words HAMARE BHUDHHAPE KA SAHARA , KHANDAN KA CHIRAG and so on. Basically a girl who takes care of family, relations , emotionally attached and gentle is accepted by society. and a boy who is strong, keeps his emotions aside and think practically , who is deeply involved into family's financial situation is acceptable in the so called society. I personally pity this society who has set such boundaries for everyone.

You see most of young generation around is so arrogant that is because of continuous restrictions You can't do this that etc. Such things led a men to became extremely violent, full of anger and emotionless and after all this they do with their child especially boy child they pretend as if there's nothing happened instead that they ask,
WHY ARE YOU BECAME SUCH ARROGANT?
We have a lot examples around us which people don't want to discuss just because it's all about their reputation and their everything. Sometimes i find parenthood so selfish as well self centered.This atom bomb named parents comes with the caution that Be Careful it may hurt.Generally men is not allowed to show his emotions as it weakens them.Keeping everything till them it does suffocates them and that is the very first stage of their anger issues.And after all things they ask,
WHY DOES MEN HAVE THESE ANGER ISSUES?
The fuck how can they raise the question for which they are themselves responsible. Societal norms and expectations can influence how men perceive and express their emotions. Traditional gender roles often discourage men from openly discussing their feelings or seeking emotional support. The pressure to appear strong and stoic may lead to emotional suppression, which can eventually result in a breakdown when emotions become overwhelming.
Moving ahead for their choices and what they are asked to do...
A continuous friction between their choices and their duty.They are not supposed to mix their hobbies and their responsibilities in one . They can not make their career out of their hobbies and things they are fond of rather they are pressurized to choose their responsibility and their duties besides their own choice.
Certainly! Men often face societal pressures to suppress or downplay their emotions, which can result in a lack of open discussion about their emotional experiences. Here are a few aspects of men's emotional side that are often not openly discussed in public:
Vulnerability:
Men experience vulnerability just like anyone else. However, due to societal expectations of masculinity, they may feel reluctant to openly express vulnerability. Men may fear being perceived as weak or losing their sense of control by sharing their emotional struggles.
Mental Health Challenges:
Men commonly experience mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and stress. However, there can be a stigma surrounding mental health issues for men, leading them to avoid seeking help or discussing their experiences openly. This lack of conversation can prevent men from accessing the support they need.
Emotional Expressiveness:
Men's emotional expression is often limited to anger or happiness, as these emotions are more socially acceptable. Emotions such as sadness, fear, or grief are sometimes suppressed or expressed in more subtle ways. This can lead to a limited emotional repertoire and difficulty in fully expressing and understanding complex emotions.
Relationship Struggles:
Men may encounter challenges in their intimate relationships, but these difficulties are not always openly discussed. Issues related to communication, emotional intimacy, and relationship conflicts can be sources of emotional distress for men. Lack of open dialogue about these challenges may hinder relationship growth and understanding.
Work-Related Stress:
Men may face significant stress in their professional lives, which can have a profound impact on their emotional well-being. Work-related pressures, long hours, competition, and the fear of failure can lead to emotional strain and burnout. These experiences are not often shared publicly, which can perpetuate the perception that men should be stoic and unaffected by work-related stress.
Encouraging open dialogue and creating safe spaces for men to share their emotional experiences can help break down the barriers that prevent them from discussing these aspects of their lives. By normalizing and validating men's emotions, we can promote healthier emotional well-being and stronger connections in society.
Here are some suggestions to help a man heal from emotional breakdowns:
Encourage self-expression:
Create a safe and non-judgmental space for the man to express his emotions. Encourage him to talk about his feelings, thoughts, and experiences. Active listening and validating his emotions can provide a sense of relief and support.
Offer reassurance and validation:
Let the man know that his emotions are valid and that it is normal to experience emotional breakdowns. Reassure him that he is not alone and that there is no shame in seeking help or taking time to heal.
Encourage self-care:
Emphasize the importance of self-care as a crucial aspect of healing. Encourage the man to engage in activities that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This could include regular exercise, practicing relaxation techniques, getting adequate sleep, and nourishing his body with healthy food.
Foster a support network:
Help the man build a support network of trusted friends, family, or support groups. Encourage him to lean on these connections for emotional support, understanding, and encouragement during the healing process.
Teach coping strategies:
Help the man develop healthy coping strategies to manage stress and emotional challenges. This can include techniques such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness meditation, journaling, or engaging in creative outlets that allow for self-expression.
Be patient and understanding:
Healing takes time, and it's essential to be patient and understanding throughout the process. Avoid putting pressure on the man to recover quickly and remind him that healing is a gradual journey.
Remember that each individual's healing process is unique, and it's important to tailor the support and approach to their specific needs. Encouraging professional help when necessary and maintaining open lines of communication can greatly contribute to the healing process.
Men have emotions too ❤
