 The reality of masculinity is controlling your emotions. This is the reality of being a man. They try and say that men should give in and it's okay to cry, I'm not saying you can never cry, something bad doesn't happen to you, I'm saying that the tenants of masculinity since the dawn of time have been, I was afraid but I did it anyway. This is the tenants of masculinity. Courage. Courage, that's what courage is. I was afraid to storm the beaches of Normandy but I did it anyway. I was afraid to stay in the Titanic but I did it anyway. This is the whole tenants of masculinity and now they're saying, oh, if you're afraid, just act afraid, be a person.
