The idea that males shouldnt have emotions and nothing should ever bother them and that they must be unaffected by everything is total bunk, of course they have feelings and things affect them and they struggle with issues, too. I do agree and also take annoyance when people act as if a male should never deal with emotional issues or always act like he can deal with all things in life unaffected and must always be there to carry others while never seeking help himself.
But at the same time, and I think this about everyone and not just the male half of the population, I dont think its right when anyone goes out to make a public show about their feelings, burdening everyone around them with it, forcing everyone to care for them at all times and make themselves the focus of attention. Everyone deals with difficulties in life, everyone has times of hardship. Those who do this are self centered and selfish, only seeking attention for themselves. Its totally right for a person to confide in someone close that they trust that they are having a hard time and need up-lifting, its another thing when someone makes a public show of their tears and feelings. That kind of behavior seems to be becoming more common these days, so I can understand the problem to some extent : p
