Tough Guise

I am glad we got to watch this movie in class. I never really looked at how men are portrayed in the media until this movie. What bothers me is the idea of men having to be these strong, no emotion showing human beings, it is just absurd. If you bottle up emotions and just let them sit there you are going to bring them out in an aggressive manner. And if guys do show emotions they are not seen has men so, they just keep that all bottled away in a little chest inside. Until one day something pushes them to far and that chest explodes. This is why we see so much crime done by men. They feel they have to prove themselves to others, or they have just kept their thoughts and feelings in for so long that they just crack. My friend is a very manly man. Which means he shows no emotions because that's not what guys do. Which is very obnoxious because he doesn't even really understand the concept of emotions or how to handle them. So, when he does have some sort of emotion of like sadness or weakness he just acts like it's not there. He does this because his father taught him how to be "a man". So, he always follows these rules. This is such an unfortunate thing to have to see in today’s society. Just because a man shows an emotion it does not make him weak, it makes him human.
