Yup, this one irks me a lot. We wonder why men are the biggest risks of suicide when they are made to feel weak, as a joke, unbelieved etc when it comes to abuse, mental illness etc. We need to do more as a society to prevent it and help these men before it’s too late.

I have heard a few cases like this. A single father was checking into a hotel with his daughter but the police were called because they suspected him of trafficking kids. A man was moved on an aeroplane because he was sitting next to an unaccompanied minor and had a woman sit there instead. Men are often seen as perpetrators first. Guilty until found innocent.

Recently, there has been a surge in discussions about so-called traditional gender roles and norms. Last year, the American Psychological Association released 10 guidelines for psychologists working with males. It has addressed a variety of problematic points related to “traditional masculine ideology” like gender role strain, oppression, and gender bias. The experts who worked on the guidelines have concluded that suppressed emotions in men "cause damage that echoes both inwardly and outwardly.”

Fredric Rabinowitz, a professor of psychology at the University of Redlands, believes that these men who feel oppressed by gender roles have their emotional being deteriorate with time. “We see that men have higher suicide rates, men have more cardiovascular disease, and men are lonelier as they get older,” he told The New York Times. Helping to expand their emotional repertoire is key to tackling such psychological problems. “We don’t try to take away the strengths that men have.”

I would not be allowed a moment of weakness. Bad day? You can't cry unless your mother just died. Hurt yourself? Suck it up and go to the hospital. Feeling self conscious about your body? Nobody cares. Feeling ill? SoMOne HaS a MaN COld!!!!!

Bored Panda contacted Donatas Paulauskas, the senior advisor at the Office of the Equal Opportunities Ombudsperson and asked him about some of the most common male gender stereotypes.

Donatas told us that one of the most unjust, yet very common, stereotypes about men is that they aren’t emotional. “Men tend to exhibit fewer emotions due to their upbringing, and that’s why they can’t identify and express their feelings as well as most women.” Throughout the years, men learn to hide their emotions and keep them all to themselves in order not to appear unmanly.

The term “toxic masculinity” has recently come into the spotlight. “It refers to the radical concept of masculinity.” Donatas explained: “it’s characterized by aggression, anger, disdaining view of fellow men and women, and denial of one’s emotions and vulnerability.” Toxic masculinity is viewed as harmful because it’s toxic to the man and those around him.

As a woman, I will never, ever have any doubt that my children are mine.

Hands down always being the villain. a colleague of mine was a bit on the heavier side, but decided to get into shape and started jogging. so he jogs around his block daily until his smart watch tells him his quota for the day is full. that day he was a bit late but went for a jog when the sun was setting. not many people out there, but as he was on his way, some girls saw him jogging their way, got scared and called the cops on him for obviously trying to chase them to rape them or something. now, the guy didn't know about the call, he just sees two girls seeing him coming, turning around and running away and he's like 'what the f**k?' until the cops come for him. you know, for the biggest offence in the whole human history: trying to get fit. i felt really bad for him.

But Donatas warns that toxic masculinity should not be seen as equal to the traditional view of masculinity. “This one has a lot of positive features like courage, determination, and confidence.” Only when we emphasize these features too much, men are pressured into being supermen. And that, of course, is impossible.

Luckily, more and more modern men are willing to get rid of the stereotypes. “Men are more active in searching for their inner voice, authenticity, and are becoming less afraid of coming across as unmanly.” Donatas believes that there should be an active movement towards changing the old-fashioned standards of masculinity in our societies.

I think the "gay panic" stuff would be the most annoying. Guys can't make physical contact other than punching each other in the shoulder or high-fiving without it being considered gay.

Crossing your legs is also not recommended, because the foot of the leg dangling in the air will likely touch someone else's legs, making their clothes or skin dirty. But anyway, this is more a matter of how large your hips are. Some men can cross their legs without any discomfort, others can't.

Most women think there's nothing wrong with being abusive and cruel with men. It's so upsetting watching women treat men like absolute s**t. To top it off, men are expected to still act like "a gentleman" and also they're not allowed to feel vulnerable, or to feel sad, angry because some lady was just "a little sassy" when in reality she was being abusive piece of s**t

Abusive women can employ many different methods to hurt. While I don’t agree with it, I have to put my two cents on the table. As a society, we don’t allow women to be assertive and reprimand them for having unpleasant feelings/behavior, so they resort to passive-aggressiveness and actual violence when overwhelmed and usually directed towards their partner. I am aware that in many pockets of developed countries, you see more assertive women. I am aware that men can be passive-aggressive too. I’m just offering an observation for some people’s behavior. Also, they may be expected to act like a gentlemen and a proper lady, but abusers don’t adhere to that and do employ a variety of methods to hurt and diminish their partners. Sometimes it’s not even intentionally insidious, but a relic that has been ingrained by human behavior. Psychology is a relatively new field, and not everyone has access to therapy or ways to modulate their toxic behavior.

Depression.

Men are told to suck it up, they’re taught that emotions make them weak. When things start to go downhill they feel like they can’t talk to anybody. I see it with my partner and it is so sad. When he starts suffering from a bit of depression, he goes downhill quick, because he doesn’t reach out and talk to somebody, because society has told him that he needs to stay strong and not show any signs of ‘weakness’. There’s a reason that the rate of male suicides is so high.

As a woman, I definitely face a lot of hardships that men don't have to deal with.

They will tell me how s****y the person who did that is, how difficult it must be to deal with, how strong I am for persevering in the face of adversity.

On the other hand, I've spent my life trying to be a non-judgmental source of venting for my male friends and I've found that basically everyone who I'm like that with ends up either thinking I'm into them romantically, or expressing how grateful they are for something they get so little of. Guys are told to just suck it up and push their emotions down, and I think it is harmful to all of us.

Relationships. Getting a date with a woman, finding a SO, or even just hooking up with a woman. It all seems like bulls**t for men.

Men are expected to initiate the conversation most of the time. And yet...I've known women who will accept dates with men they have 0 interest in just to get a free meal out of it. I've known women who want men to approach them, but if the man is unattractive to her she calls them creepy or mocks them for it. Sure, not all women are like this...but you know what happens when I approach a man who isn't interested in me? He says "No, thank you."

I could easily get a one night stand if I wanted to. Yeah. If people know about it I might be called demeaning things or people trying to shame me for it. But I just think about a time a man approaches a woman in an elevator, gets turns down, and the next day there are news articles about how men shouldn't make women uncomfortable and that conferences need to make an effort to make "safe spaces" for women.

Men are shamed for their sexuality and no one gives a f**k. A man who is unhappy in a relationship because he doesn't get to have sex as often as he would like gets to hear how "NO ONE OWES YOU SEX!" up and down. He's seen as a piece of s**t for even considering leaving the relationship for it. But if I am unhappy in a relationship for any reason? People will happily back me or take my side...including if it is about sex. While there are people who will shame women and their sexuality, there are just as many people who will try to empower women for being sexual. Men? Nah. You're all pigs, potential rapists, creeps, and predators.

The Double Standard with Parenthood. This is going into the "SO" route and relates to hook-ups. A woman gets pregnant and doesn't want to have a baby, she can get an abortion, she can give the child up for adoption, and in some states she can do the adoption route or even abandonment without the man's permission! And a woman who gets an abortion or adoption...well, "Her body her choice!" But what about the man? A woman gets pregnant and he doesn't want to have the baby...he's a deadbeat. If she keeps the baby, your money is tied to her and the child for years and you're a deadbeat for even considering anything different. Not only that but, "If a man doesn't want to support a kid then don't have sex!" is often said in discussions about this even though the same f**king line is used against women by pro-lifers! It's a gross double standard and a dangerous one making sex and relationships more tricky for men. It doesn't help that women have a huge variety of contraceptive options available to them and men only have one that isn't permanent.

Marriage is tricky for men. With how easy it is for a woman to leave a marriage and claim a bunch of assets, sometimes get alimony, and take the children...why are men risking marriage? Yes, not every marriage is so clear-cut and sometimes the woman is making sacrifices herself which could make it difficult for her to get back onto her feet after a divorce, but come on. Women aren't helpless delicate flowers anymore. Women aren't solely reliant on their husbands and will be devastated after a divorce...at least not in the United States. And I acknowledge this as someone who is married to a man.

Lack of support for those who end up in abusive relationships. Abuse can come from either sex. Men can be raped and abused too. But there are so few options out there for men who need help in addition to people often saying or joking about how he probably deserved it or that he's being weak.

ETA; Since apparently I need to make it clear: Yes. I am female. I was born female. I'm not a trans woman even though I have commented in trans subreddits. It's weird to me that some of you find it hard to believe that a woman could be behind this response, but hey. Now you know why I use "AssumeImNot." Though...having people assuming I'm a trans woman is a new one for me!

There are a lot of things guys get worse than girls.

- Like, as a woman, i can be a stay at home wife and do whatever i want, and no one will bat an eye or think i'm a loser. Men cant do this. Maybe there are some out there, but i've never heard of a man being a stay at home husband. They would be ridiculed and probably no woman would put up with this.

- Male chauvinism. It affects men too. There are a lot of people who still mock men for crying, wearing pink, or for the way they treat woman, and dont get me started if you, as a men, want to wear some make up to hide some imperfections. Its like its expected for men to be tough and manly always.

- Men are put under soo much more pressure than women. In work, in life, in everything.

- Mental health is also a taboo for men apparently.

- Dating is really hard. We as women want equality in everything, but there are still a lot of women out there unwilling to give the first step and ask a guy out. They are supposed to ask us out, and put themselves out there for humilliation and rejection (i know some people are cruel when rejecting), and women dont endure this as often as men.

- Random boners. I can be horny as f**k and no one would know (except i tend to bite my lips and my eyes get a bit more narrow when i am), but men have boners even when they're not thinking about something sexual.

I’d be expected to be friendly with my coworkers. I work in an industry that is incredibly male-dominated, and “worse,” the majority of the men in it have conventionally “masculine” interests like sports and hunting. I have one male coworker who, like me, is a nerd and has no interest in any of that. He actually gets a hard time for it on occasion, while no one bothers with me.

It’s really easy to make colleagues think you’re a nice, sociable person as a woman. Say good morning, smile when you pass in the hall, say “uh huh” when they talk. Don’t actually have to go out of your way to connect.

The predatory stuff that a lot of people are talking about in this thread is something I already have a partial understanding of; I’m a lesbian and the “predatory lesbian” stereotype is still a thing in the minds of a lot of not-very-open-minded people. I’m not particularly butch, though, so strangers wouldn’t get that impression from me the way they do from men.

So continuing with the theme of LGBT issues, I think gay men are more of a public target than gay women. Gay women obviously do get attacked, like that event on that bus in London, but it feels easier to hide that part of yourself if you feel unsafe as a woman. There’s all these rules men have in order to not appear “too gay,” while if a woman is less than conventionally feminine, the first impression is usually not going to be “lesbian.”

Because taking care of children is seen as women's work (including babysitting) so when a man does it (the father or not, despite what Michal Jastrzebski says below) it's considered to be low status so denigrated by calling it babysitting- because anything women relating to their gender/sex is lower in important than what men do.

Perhaps we should stop both sides of this b******t and just let everyone be human? Hug each other, communicate, and stop judging?

When I was a kid, my Mom and Uncle ran 2 daycare centers. From about the age of 11, I would go there after school, and help out, make snack for the kids, clean up, etc. I loved working with the kids, especially the really young ones, just enjoyed making them laugh and keeping them occupied. At 16, I honestly wanted to work with kids, and started working towards going to college for an ECE (Early childhood educator) degree. Because I was a bigger guy, a group of the kids parents came to my Mom and threatened to take their kids out of the daycare unless I was removed from the daycare. They were worried because I was a man, and they didn't want me around their kids. I stopped working there, finished highschool, and went into construction instead. Now I babysit a different set of kids...

I think it's the toxic masculinity that's so prevalent in America that hurts men.

you should have added one more issue to this list the clueless ness of some commentators here who have decided that its all to do with toxic masculinity, or oppression or gender roles. for god sakes why would you ask men and then go and get a quote from a supposed equality officer ??? who goes and spouts toxic masculinity. men get a hard time, abuse, violence against them etc because we have a society that decides that it has the right to abuse men and are enabled by various groups with their own agenda. .. and i say it again. for the feminists. you are the reason why this happens, nothing to do with oppression , patriarchy etc( there is no patriarchy, and no amount hocus pocus mickey mouse academic studies is going to back you up). If society made every perpetrator( of all genders) own their s**t instead of giving a pass for gender or being a mother, then a lot more change would occur and society would be better off.

I get where you are coming from, but I have a different reading on the term "toxic maculinity". My understanding is that toxic masculinity is the set of representations and social standards that expect of men to be strong, unfeeling, agressive, dominant. It leads to some men being just that, and causing harl around them, but it also leads to men being treated unfairly because they are expected to be that. I feel like those are two sides of the same coin. We can only get rid of it all if we stop putting pressure on men to conform to a model that is toxic for us.

On the recurring theme here, of expectations of toughness, that can be good for people, can lead to improvement. When I was 14 and my sister was 16 she was much bigger and stronger, would crush me in arm wrestling. Once after opening a jar that I couldn't she said: 'You're like a little girl.' And laughed. But it was kind of funny even then. I knew she loved me, she was just telling it like it was. Now, I know I'm way, way stronger than she is. She's had to ask me to lift things she couldn't lift. And when I'm pushing through a tough set of push-ups or pull-ups I use these memories of her being much stronger, chuckle, and say to myself: 'Ok, another good set of reps makes it even less likely that she'll ever be stronger than me again.' Many other examples exist and it's been women urging me to toughen up about as much as men have. That makes sense from an evolutionary psychology standpoint: the women also want the men to be tough to help protect the family, the kids, the tribe.

Thanks so much for this Luicija. Without diminishing in any way women's very serious issues, we need to aknowledge men's, and especially boys', issues. It can be very, very rough, and there is no support system whatsoever to help those who need it outside of the gay community. "Masculinism" and "men's issues" have been hijacked by toxic conservative men, and you can't talk about these problems because you're instantly branded as a phallocrat. You can be a feminist (woman or man) AND care about the impact on men of the unforgiving culture that is modern masculintiy.

Not true. Men and woman have substantial biological differences in general temperament, intellectual distribution, and interests. These differences have been overwhelmingly proven to actually increase with reduction of social pressure. For instance, average man is more interested in things than 80% of women and the average woman is more interested in people than 80% of men. Men who have great ability in the fields of math and science tend to only have great ability in those areas, which causes them to funnel into STEM fields. Women with great ability in math and science also tend to have great ability in other fields, allowing them a far larger scope of possibilities. This, mixed with the fact that women are generally far less interested in things, which is a substantial aspect of the STEM fields, is why these fields are mostly made up of men despite the fact that women are statistically more likely to be hired and promoted in the STEM fields.

My ex husband was so shut down. I don't know how many times I heard things like 'I don't do that feelings s**t.' Trying to connect with him was like trying to connect with a piece of lumber. It wasn't his fault. He was mentally, emotionally, and physically abused as a kid (though he doesn't see it that way). I felt (and still feel) terrible for him. But it is impossible to help someone who a) will not acknowledge there IS any problem and b) refuses to let anyone in. His answer is to get the heck out of Dodge when s**t gets too real, which is exactly what he did. We have irreparably damaged a lot of otherwise good men by treating them like machines from the time they could walk. It does your boys NO favors to raise them in this way.

Toxic masculinity is terrible. 2. The statistics on violence and abuse: it is mostly men. A good amount of that is due to number 1, above. ———— ATTENTION to anyone trying to blame feminism for any of these negatives of being men: The ONLY people I’ve ever known who actively fight against this s**t have been feminists.

It is nice and refreshing to see that some women understand the gender-role pressures that many of us have, regardless of age, generation, or situation. -Dr M
