Be a man. Took me a while to learn what that meant.
Act tough.
Be a man. Mmm.
Well I don't know what you mean by that.
Unafraid.
Courage.
Strong. Like if somebody dares them to do something and they won't do it.
They say, "Be a man." Awesome.
Insult.
Older.
Um, people have said be a man to me and because I was kind of being a wuss,
and they were basically telling me to buck up.
I feel it's kind of sexist when someone just says, "Be a man." Well, there's
strong women as well.
Uh, strong.
Stupid. It's almost a sexist phrase too. Like if you're not being a man, it's
kind of saying you're being a woman in a way too.
Take responsibility. Insulting.
Focused, because to be a man you need to be focused and strong and have a good
understanding of the world around you so you can be a better person.
Misleading. I've learned that being a man doesn't mean to shut out your
feelings as to embrace them. Strong.
First word that popped in my head was derogatory. A lot of people feel that
when you're telling someone to be something, you're inherently wrong because people can
be anything they want to be. Someone who can be a hero to someone.
As long as you own up to it, then I think you kind of define that role.
What does that mean? It seems really, um, kind of one-sided, one dimensional.
Remember your duty. Toughen up.
Bullshit. What does that even mean? It's such a, it's such a vague term,
"Be a man." You know what, classically, men have beat the shit out of women. That's what
men have done and so that's not the man I want to be.
Being a man is being responsible. It's being able to take care of yourself.
Tough. Provide, secure.
Pump some iron. To stand up for what you believe in.
There's no real definition of
what that is to be a man, but there's an assumption when someone says it like that. That there
is a very clear definition of what men should be.
Strength, conviction. Responsibility.
Overrated. Who, who defines what a man is?
I mean, we all have to walk our own paths. What I consider to make me a man may not be
what makes you a man. For me it's like, hard working.
Strength. Sexist. It's a very accepted form
of sexism. To be the man it implies that you need to be something specific.
Silly. Relative.
Honest. Take ownership.
Cliche. Choices.
Honesty. Being true to yourself and your surroundings, the people you work
with, the people you live with, the people you love.
Trust your instincts. Be strong. Don't let people push you around and
be kind to women.
