What does it mean to be a man? Many in society would answer this question if asked with something along the lines of, “a take-charge person” or “to never be scared”. In an article, even college students when asked by their professor what it means to be a real man, came up with similar answers. They stated things like “suppressing all emotions” and “never cry”.
For decades, TV and movies have driven society to believe that what makes a real man too are things like being able to provide, being strong, and to never cry or show emotions. I find this to be false. In the age that we live in today, women are able to do just as much as men are able to do in society, including providing for their families. This nullifies the old definition of what it means to be a real man.
