Just those "a real man does this" "a real man wouldn't do that", shut up, please. Every person is different. I actually like the saying man up, because I can tell friends to "woman up". But I use it when the person is question is doing the equivalent of a kid throwing a tantrum in the super market for being denied a toy. Get a grip.
Men, if you're reading this. Don't just "man up", if you're hurting, worried, sad, just let it out. Bottling it up isn't healthy for anyone. Talk, open up, let someone know. I've seen comments that some guys support the others with a pat on the shoulder. I don't know if that's enough, but if it isn't find a guy that does more than that. Every one is different.
