Imagine running an ad campaign asking toxic women to “calm down”.
Love this!!
The view did it. They are a perfect example for toxic
"Calm your tits"
Does this ad meet the criteria? ua-cam.com/video/1ZGNiE2Uhvg/v-deo.html
This made me laugh!!
insinuating that teaching younger boys that they should be strong means they’re going to turn into a rapist is absolutely ridiculous.
It's the male feminists that are the real snakes in the grass.
True. I do believe that regardless of your upbringing you should be held accountable for what you do, but I think the main message of this PSA is that telling men that they’re not allowed to cry or have emotions because they’re men is not a healthy message to give to anyone, because all that can just build up over time and it has to be released elsewhere. Children should be taught healthy ways to get their emotions out regardless of whether they’re male or female, and this PSA is mostly just showing the most extreme version of what can happen if a person is told to bottle up their emotions too much and not taught how to handle them properly
If all the strong people were rapists and criminals, the authorities (being good, and therefore weak) would never be able to stop them.
@@dacheesecat6976 Nonsense, emotions aren't a liquid or a solid, they don't "build" up. They don't have to be "released". These are behaviors. Men releasing outbursts of emotions is the bad behavior. These work in the reward area of our brain. If you don't interrupt the temper tantrums they will be wired into the person's head as the correct strategy for success. You have to nip it in the bud, or you are condemning that child to a terrible future where society will punish them for the behavior that worked so well for them as a child. That is what "builds up".
@@dacheesecat6976 Men don't cry as women do but for social conditioning. They are not mostly holding it in. They are not naturally as inclined to cry. Nor is lashing out in the world per se negative. If Winston Churchill was more in touch with his tears rather than fighting Hitler to the last breath, we would be worse off.
"Boys don't cry. Be a big boy please."
I'm a girl and my mom has literally said something along the same lines to me many times when I was a child crying about something stupid. "Big girls don't cry honey. Be brave." Words of wisedom right there.
Exactly
Me too! I'm just wondering, did I have exceptional parents or something? Cause truly, I thought everyone had been told that, boy or girl. God knows, I've got one daughter and three sons and I've told them all that before. "Suck it up, buttercup" was popular around my house and my kids are fine. So am I. Sure, I see mistakes and things that should have been handled differently in the video,but this video doesn't seem like what happens in real life at all. It is fake and artificial, and well, BS. Ya don't just tell your kid that they must be strong, and then suddenly it's an abusive home and a rape. It's such BS.
Ironically those same words also come from the woke asswipes and feminists when men do open up about their problems.
It's a little different for me. I don't like crying in front of stranger, but would rather do it with my brother or with a significant other. It's not good to keep it in.
Same thing with my mom. It's common sense. 😊❤️
There are also two songs called Big Girls Don't Cry.😂
My Father taught me to stop being a sissy and a coward, how to win a fight I get into, and how to train for Football and Basketball.
My mother taught me to be Chivalrous, to be Honorable, Respectful and to defend a woman if you see her get attacked.
I had a girl who was blackout drunk pass out in my bed. I slept on the couch because that is how I was raised.
Nothing wrong with telling boys to be strong. We need strong men in society.
Yes strong men defend the weaker strong men protect women and raise their families putting their feelings aside for the good not raping people beating them up
The leftist feminists doesn't believe that. They don't see the importance of having strong GOOD men to keep the tyranny of strong BAD men at bay!
Strong doesn't mean not having emotions...it means knowing your own internal workings and not letting impulses dominate you. You feel sad, but you can control your expression of it and keep moving forward. You can express it, but not in a way that hinders your ability to do what needs to be done.
@@kugelblitz1557 no one said that bro
@@moldovianfieldmarshal6313 yes they did in this horrible ad campaign Designed to raise pathetic wimps that will easily and blindly do what they are told by the tyrants in power. They want want weak men because strong men will resist them while weak men just comply.
All I got out of this ad was that the kid was ok til his parents started fighting and screaming and throwing things. This can happen to boys AND girls. Adults need to be adults. Or kids get messed up.
Yes never fight in front of the kids.
@@KebbieG just about to say that
I grew up along with an older adoptive sister and brother in a home with an adoptive father who when finally convicted of his crimes was described by a magistrate as being potentially the worst domestic spousal and child abuser in my State's history. I've never committed any form of violent crime, or domestic violence, neither has my adoptive sister although she did become a deeply narcissistic and manipulative adult, my older adoptive brother however became the second most abusive person I have ever known in my lifetime who has led an adulthood punctuated by significant domestic and non-domestic violent criminal offending and substance abuse. It's very true that adults need to be adults however the causative influences that result in domestic and other violence run a lot deeper but also are much simpler as this primarily comes down to a matter of emotional intelligence and a realisation that you cannot force anyone to do what you want with violence or the threat of it. Notwithstanding this I have received commendations for bravery 'above and beyond the call of duty' in my professional life in confronting and arresting violent offenders but that was very measured and focused violence utilised against those who had already made the choice to use violence to further a criminal objective. Violence is an unfortunate but necessary part of the human existence.
So from personal account, I had a similar upbringing to the kid in this video. And I did get into the occasional fist fight with another kid from school, but we always met away from school and it was just a fight until one of us gave up and then we all went home. I watched my parents scream and fight at each other and pull me into it as the oldest. They eventually divorced. I would go out at night as I got older and run around the streets with guys like in the night part. I’ve been to plenty of house parties back in the day. But one thing that never left my values was the concept of being a man and being a protector of women. If a girl got too drunk at a party, us guys made sure we kept that girl close until we could get her home safely. This ad is a complete leap, ignoring what 90 some percent of men would really do. And I’ve never made a friend who thought any differently either.
I have literally never seen my husband cry and we've been together for nine years. He is the kindest and most self-controlled person I have ever known. He never holds back tears, he's just emotionally very stable in a healthy, masculine way. I, on the other hand, cry every time he gives me a birthday card with his heartfelt words of appreciation. While I do feel things deeply, I have so, so much to learn from him about managing my emotions and not allowing them to control me.
@@tynj4173 exactly, spot on 💯
@kk9420 if he did cry, why would I call a man a "baby" whom I respect and know can control his emotions? Maybe you're implying that if he cried regularly he'd be called a baby. To be honest, my respect would probably go down. Not because of the crying, but the lack of control of emotions as a man. The same consequence would be there if got very angry regularly, or got deliriously excited regularly, etc.
I’ve only seen my husband cry a few times because we’ve been through hell and back and I gotta say holding your husband and crying together is one of the most intimate things that’s ever happened in our relationship. I don’t think it makes him less of a man at all because it shows he loves and trusts me enough to show his deepest emotions. We can share anything with each other without judgement. He would never cry in front of anyone else, just me and I can do the same and it really is therapeutic.
It makes me feel like a good wife comforting him because he does the same for me so much.
My dad has also cried in front of me multiple times in my life and he’s the strongest man I know. He came from nothing, self taught himself to be an engineer, and build his own company without help from anybody and he’s always been an amazing father to me.
Some men don’t cry at all and that’s ok too because everybody expresses their emotions differently but I don’t think it makes someone any less of a man if they do cry sometimes.
@@bhaktilata because you not his mother. 😂
Men know when to cry. We dont need feminists to tell us to cry all of the time. We will cry at the right time.
Absolutely!
Jesus wept when it was virtuous to do so.
Warrior kings wept openly for family and friends.
The puritanical culture put out the unnatural idea that men don't ever weep.
A just man will weep when it is right and just to do so.
@@rebn8346 Yeah and the best evidence they have that a man says men "never"cry is that there's some rare extremely aggressive man who might actually say this but you might hear it from 0.5% of men who are typically abusive crazy men.
They didn't keep repeating that story and use it as a weapon against all men.
Most feminists and gender studies graduates who use that example have never even heard of anybody say it. I guarantee you.
And then when men like Jordan Peterson start crying, they make fun of them, I don’t even know what they truly mean when they tell men to cry anymore.
Even kratos cried. And I cried with him.
@@alethiastafford6061 It's not that he cries at all, it's that he's crying for young men and boys who are legitimately suffering, usually at the hands of feminism, and without an outlet, like someone to talk to, they often turn to suicide. But because he cares about the wrong demographic, he gets made fun of by the Leftoids seeking to destroy the fabric of masculinity.
Wait, it's the mom who gets violent, screams and throws something that breaks when the father shouts a question about her repeated behavior. The father then comes calmly to sit down next to the son. It's not the father that's toxically masculine, it's the mother!
Yep, I saw that too.
But she was only responding to the systemic toxic masculinity that has ruined the world since the dawn of man.
That's what I saw!
But he yelled, therefore he was WRONG!!
That's called gaslighting.
I shed a tear watching my cute little toddlers sharing popcorn they spilled on the floor. I hope that’s one of the 8 acceptable reasons to cry
😂 it is since he mentioned shedding a happy tear because of your child😂
That’s immensely precious, good for ya.
Most boys become monsters because the fathers weren’t there-not because the dads told em not to cry.
AND a cut to wings of redemption perfectly timed?? Give ‘em all a raise!
As a male who grew up in a home much worse than the one the young man in the video grew up in I can confidently say I’ve never date raped anyone.

@@torgal5088 what kind of fucking question is that? 90% of human communication is nonverbal. Pretty sure he's not autistic so pretty sure he can tell if a chick is not into it. But having sex with a one-night stand and then regretting it the next day isn't rape. Sorry to disappoint you
@@darkangel10001000 Calm down, it's just a little trolling
@@torgal5088 good satire is indistinguishable from the real thing.
The same people who say a parent saying "boys don't cry" causes problems are the SAME PEOPLE who say a home without a father doesn't cause problems.
I certainly believe both do cause problems.
@@cezjan1997 the difference is that I can't name one person who believes boys don't cry but fatherless homes are an epidemic and can be seen everywhere
@@skaterkraines2691 And I know an endless amount of toxic alcoholic mothers.
I was thinking that 2 🤔
Thats not really true though is it.
I agree with you, we need to raise a generation of children that aren’t whiners, but problem solvers.
I think that telling your boys that they can feel all these emotions, and they should understand them, and acknowledge them but not let them control them is incredibly important. That doesn't in any way lead to boys turning into rapists. That was out of left field.
They didn’t tell the boy that he could feel all of his emotions. That’s the issue and it went right over your head lol
@@nunyabizay9253 I think what I said went over yours. I said that I was fine with the message of teaching boys that they should understand and control their emotions (it's taught rather regularly in most homes I've been to). I then said that it didn't need the rapists point. Because growing up in a home that didn't do those things doesn't turn guys into rapists.
It's not the not knowing your emotions that leads to rape. Not even close. Most rapists come from kids who went through some kind of severe childhood trauma or have a major control issue.
The fact that you decided to put your confusion out as a weird degrading comment is odd.
@@tylrk7358 what you think is trauma and what other people think is trauma is very different. Growing up in a family that doesn’t allow men to cry or feel remorse by telling them to shut up or man up or that “boys don’t cry” is a form of emotional abuse and trauma if a boy is going through something hard and they need to cry. Not knowing how to express negative emotions causes communication issues in relationships, bursts of rage, etc. it doesn’t turn you into a rapist that’s obviously a choice, but it does turn you into someone with unhealthy coping skills and most likely anger issues. It’s odd you talk so much yet said so little. The parents in the video are in fact emotionally abusive even if it’s not extreme and yes it does cause issues especially if you’re an only child. No one magically turns into anything, it’s a process of trauma + bad parenting + personal choices on how to express poor mental health and bad character.
You’re also forgetting that overly spoiled children who never were told no and were never given any emotional closeness from their parents turn into narcissists who abuse everyone around them and can’t handle the word no. There’s many paths that lead to a bad destination but in the end our personal character is our own choice no matter what we have been through. I’m simply stating that certain types of parenting create different types of emotional and personality issues.
@@nunyabizay9253 No one is taught to show their emotions without zero control over them. Everyone, from a young age is encouraged to control their emotions. Also people are encouraged to feel remorse for their bad actions.
Also crying or being angered doesn't help you with anything.
@@testacals no emotion “helps” you “solve” problems like a philosopher on your shoulder. It’s good to not lash out (control emotions) but it is also good to cry when needed and feel anger with rational mental processing skills (not just raging aimlessly).
I'm offended. Deeply offended. My brother was raised in a home with very abusive men. And what did he become? One of the best fathers and husbands I've had the joy of witnessing. Additionally, this sets such a low bar for men. There is a lot more to being a good man than just not drugging and raping a girl. Like Jesus... please help guide my nephews.
"There is a lot more to being a good man than just not drugging and raping a girl."
SAY THAT LOUDER.
@@lancewalker2595 "there is none good, no, not one"

What does being offended do? What happens when you're offended?
And why be offended for someone else?
What's the actual point?
If you don't drug, rape or murder, in this world, this day and age, you're not that bad.
everyone lies, many steal and many blaspheme.
God literally says that no one is good. Not one.
Truly being a good man is impossible for anyone other than Yeshua Ha'Mashiach.
All it takes to be a decent man is to not drug, rape, beat or murder
I would say manipulate, but as I've stated, everyone lies and lying is manipulating... a lie is a lie, no matter how small, whether it's to someone else or even to the self.
We are all guilty of sin
If you're guilty of one you're guilty of all.
We are only forgiven and redeemed through Adonai.
Yes, good is not just the absence of bad, but also the presence of good.
And all of this because the boy was told to stop crying? No! Bad parenting, lost society, lack of structure?.. these are great parts of how a boy can get lost in this way. And continue this cycle.
Maria Right! Just as it’s good to teach people to not flash a bunch of money in a seedy bar and then walk down the alley behind the place, it’s equally good to teach women to not make easy targets of themselves.
They want to equalise 'strong' and 'violent'... They are showing all these disfunctional families and models of behaviour on tv and making youth completely confused...
If anything, the only link to him being abusive in the future, is his father being abusive. Boys are gonna learn from the male example in their life. If it's a bad one, that's what they learn.
@@daerdevvyl4314 Yes, it's not victim blaming. It's being smart.
But you shouldn't tell a girl to stop crying because that's making them masculine?
Is this just me? When I was growing up, the phrase "boys will be boys" was used to describe young boys that were getting dirty, staying out a little late, and being a little rough. I never heard people say that to excuse kids from beating the living shit out of one another or sexually assaulting people. It seems to me like corporate America is attempting to turn this phrase into something its not. It was always a simple, innocent phrase.
True.
Never in my boyhood have I ever interpreted "boys don't cry" or "be a man" as justification to take advantage of a drunk girl. But what do I know I'm just a boy.
I was never even told "boys don't cry" or "be a man" as a kid....like ever.
@@lifemarketing9876 Right? Like it barely ever happens (if ever)
@@lifemarketing9876 agreed.
"HI we're feminists. We're going to pretend that horrible abusive situations that certainly do happen in an overwhelming minority of cases are not only happening everywhere but are absolutely accepted by everyone." What an insight into their twisted worldview.
You forgot to add but only femal s are victims
I’m genuinely convinced these people have never lived in the human world
This film lays out the classic path by which a male child, witnessing and eventually colluding with domestic abuse, might go down as he grows up.
What you’re repeating are the attitudes and excuses male abusers have themselves provided.
@@clogs4956 Excuses? Who is making excuses other than feminists who equate competence with rapists? There is nothing more dangerous than a weak man.
And white ribbon conveniently ignores male DV victims both in this advert and in its propaganda.
I wanted to highlight proverbs 31 which mostly women commonly look at (I do as a Christian woman) but it is a chapter written from a mom to her son. And I think it’s the chapter that inspires how I raise my own son. To seek what is just, to speak up for those that can’t speak for themselves, to have mercy, keep a sound mind, have self control, understand that charm is deceptive and beauty is vain but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. (The whole book of proverbs is amazing)
This ad was basically what happens your parents get a divorce. He turned bad when the parents got a divorce.
Spot on, well said!
exactly, why arent we talking about this???
There is no such thing as "Toxic masculinity." There is such a thing as lack of Masculinity. We need more of it.
Toxic masculinity is not the same thing as healthy masculinity. Toxic masculinity is what happens when men who were never modeled healthy masculinity by the male figures in their lives try to imitate masculinity with no good frame of reference. It’s when men feed their base desires and exercise poor self regulation the way animals do. The importance of not just fathers or male role models, but *healthy and emotionally self regulated* fathers and male role models, cannot be overstated in a young boy’s life.
@@egalo-medina6859 You know, you explained this exceptionally well.
If there is such a thing as Toxic Masculinity than it stands to reason that there's also Toxic Feminity
@@egalo-medina6859 and this "toxic masculinity" is the lack of real masculinity, you are essentially agreeing with the guy?
We need more men who take responsibility and protect others.
I saw my father cry 4 times, The funeral of his father and his father-in-law, coming out of confession after years away from the Church and at the end of the movie Armageddon. All acceptable.
I am a woman who wasn’t taught not to cry and now I cry all the time and can’t control those emotions it’s embarrassing and exhausting.
Same here. It's crazy how such "small things" in the childhood can influence your adult self. I wish I was told not to cry bruh 💀 My eyes become literally uncontrollably teary to minor shit. I'm trying to fix this crap
That kid didn't become a mean rap'st because they told him not to cry, not because he helped dad with the tools, not even because he did some push-ups to get a more muscular physique ... it was the dysfunctional relationship his parents had.
Along with he's a sick piece of s*** regular people don't rape people no matter what they've been through maybe if he was molested or sexualized this could happen along with alcohol or drugs which is alcohol my opinion
On point
I would say it's more likely the constant barrage of "men bad" indoctrination he would have accrued over his 18 years.
Ever notice how the "male feminists" type are so often the same guys that give you the heebie-jeebies ...🤔🧐, the same type of guy that you would warn your sister about. They always have that creepy vibe about them.
Ever wonder what happens when "that" guy finally has enough of "the game"...🤭
Yeah but we can't ever put any blame on mothers.
!!!!!THIS!!!!
It is normal, natural and at times necessary for men, women, boys and girls to cry when they need too. The actual issue is learning that your emotions shouldn't be your decision makers and to not let them control you. Those are lessons we ALL need to learn.
^ This.
"Boys don't cry" shouldn't be a thing. Let them cry. But help them get over it, move on, and grow from it.
Yeah ikr. The whole “boys don’t cry” nonsense is what creates men that aren’t able to be vulnerable with their own families. Reading this comments section is like time traveling back to the 1960s 😂😂😂😂
💯
Yes, what is toxic in both men and women is allowing emotions to control your actions. This is what the abusive father was doing in the ad and what the boy ended up doing.
My biggest issue with the whole "boys don't cry" thing is that it makes boys afraid of their own emotions which can lead to them lashing out and engaging in harmful behavior when they get older. What we should be doing is helping boys learn how to understand their emotions so they can learn how to control them in a healthy way. Emotional resilience is crucial to being able to function in the real world but teaching our children to be afraid of "weakness" is not the same thing as teaching them to be strong.
When I was in the military we called keeping your cool and pushing through things military bearing. I've been in two bad car accidents in my life. It was that masculinity that kept everyone safe. We where hit by a Ford Bronco that used my Corvette as a ramp. I was the only person that could move. The entire car was covered in my girlfriends blood. I jumped out of the car and tried frantically to open the door. Then I stopped and thought, "I have to control myself. I have to save these people." I realized the door was destroyed and it would never open. I ran down the road to the first house I could find and called 911. I ran back and found the driver of the other car had flown through the window of his car and was delirious. He thought his family was with him and he was searching for them in the weeds and mud. I tried to calm him until the police and ambulance showed up. Later, when my wife and I were rear ended by some guy that was too busy texting. The entire back end of the car was destroyed and she was screaming and crying. I looked at her and yelled her name. She stared at my in shock. I calmly said, "Are you in pain? Are you hurt? I don't see any blood. But are you OK? You're OK. Everything is OK." She was once she realized she was safe. There is nothing wrong with being a man. The world needs more men. Not less. Being a man isn't just about being a body builder. It's about the teachings of God. It's about serving others, leading a good life, and helping others. Most of all, your family.
I half agree with this as a conservative guy. I value mental fortitude greatly, and it’s helped me get through some of the toughest experiences in my life. It’s helped me make some of the hardest choices, and I don’t regret that. That being said, our culture doesn’t really allow for men to cry nowadays. Certainly, there’s a time to “man up” and not to allow yourself to think about how you’re feeling. Sometimes, how you’re feeling is much less important than what you need to do in that moment. In moments like this, traditional masculinity shouldn’t change a single thing. But this doesn’t mean that men should never cry or vent. When we’ve come home, done our day’s work. When we’re tired and angry and on the verge of tears over something, men shouldn’t be ridiculed for letting themselves get it out in a healthy way. It’s surprising to see talk like this come from the left, who take every opportunity to make ad hominem arguments and call conservatives cry babies when they have no point to make (I think of Amber Heard mocking Johnny Depp while writing this).
When men don’t allow themselves to feel their feelings EVER, then yeah, that’s how you make dangerous people. That’s how abuse happens. Eventually, when you let unresolved emotions build up, they’re gonna hit a breaking point, and it almost never happens at who it should. Men should cry at the proper time. I’m not gonna train my son to be a sissy, but I’m sure as hell gonna say it’s okay to cry sometimes.
I was taught all those things, but I was also taught to never lay a hand or hurt a woman, walk away. And as far as him hurting the bully, I was also taught that the bully only responds to being bullied. All this psa does is shame men.
Well the mom did say “boys don’t cry”.
Both parents were shit
Never hit a woman. But when they be role playing men, they get treated like men. If they’re going to act belligerent and violent, unlike a lady then they deserve to get hit.
I love being a wife, a mother, a daughter and someday a grandma. I'm proud of my husband for protecting us, loving us and providing for us. We love your videos Michael. Greetings from the Philippines!

It’s referred to as domestic violence, domestic abuse or intimate partner abuse.

@@clogs4956pretending to be kind in order to be manipulative
Exactly! You found the perfect words to say it. They are denouncing something toxic with something which is toxic as well.
There is no need for men to become feminine and people pleasers.
Masculinity is good and needed in the world!
And it doesnt mean beating up people! Since whem braveness means beating up people and being a rapist?
I think man should be allowed to be vulnerable and express their emotions if they need to.
I have 3 brothers, they dont cry all the time but if they go throught a very bad thing they may cry and that is ok and healthy, I dont think man should be just some emotionless stone never afected by anything.
At the same time courage and integrity , standing up for yourself should be encouraged too.
I feel real masculinity is not being an agressive horrible dude, and the solution to this isnt being a girl either. Both ways are quite toxic.
The best thing would be developing real masculinity from a loving home which encourages a man, not to stuck everything in and be unbreakable, but to be strong confident and have integrity.
For some reason I feel both real feminity and masculinity are being attacked socially.
Maybe because there is power on it. I dnt know
we need strong men to eradicate pedophiles and domestic violence offenders
This is outrageous. Telling a boy to be strong and have courage will not turn them into a evil man. That’s a stretch. This whole thing is just gross.
I couldn't stop laughing when the "boys will be boys" came across the screen at the end 😂
To be a woman I'm certainly stoic. I am terribly uncomfortable crying in front of others, but just because I don't cry whine and complain does NOT mean I'm violent, a rapist or husband abuser. Why would I assume a stoic man would be violent, a rapist or wife abuser? Fear is not a virtue.
m.ua-cam.com/video/uZdv-TtiMkg/v-deo.html
Agree fear Is no virtue
for real though!!
I am a mother of boys and girls. None of my children are allowed to be winy emotional squishes. That’s not to say they aren’t allowed to cry, or that I won’t hold them and console them, even when they are upset about something silly. But the aim is that we get to a place where our emotions become tools, instead of us becoming a tool to our emotions…
We must learn to use our emotions for our betterment and the betterment of others, not succumb to them, OR repress them. Process them, use them to fuel you in productive meaningful ways, use them to gain insight about experiences so we can move more wisely into the future, use them to gain insight about what the Holy Spirit is calling us to and away from… But don’t let them overcome you.
This ad says “if men aren’t allowed to cry with reckless abandon into the abyss of their deepest despair, they will become abusive rapist bullies….” Which also seems to suggest that women cry recklessly all the time, and therefore don’t become aggressive monsters. As per usual with the worldview that spawned this ad: it’s actually as anti-woman as it is anti-man.
💯
Sounds like it’s Anti-Human, which basically is the left in general
Well said.
I was raised with 4 brothers, I'm married to a man and have a son myself. Never, not even once, did I hear, in person or otherwise, a boy being told not to cry because "boys don't cry". Not once in my whole life. And we got the belt as kids, which is harsh by today's mushy standards.
4:54 that edit had me laughing for a solid 5 minutes! Give the editors a raise!
From a woman's perspective, my husband being strong, brave, solid, ....masculine.....this stuff was super attractive to me. Add to the fact that he also has a heart that is gentle until it's necessary for him to be strong and protective *chef kiss*. I haven't seen him cry very often. But when strong men cry, you know something has truly broken their hearts...
I can agree to this haha. I'm not married, but my boyfriend is wonderful and amazing
Uhm
Well then you're a misogynistic bigot.
@@acommonman7950 Because we like strong men?- Who have a sweet side? How is that misogynistic?-
@@nightflurry410 Wow how ignorant can you be... just say you hate women... I bet you're anti-abortion as well.
I grew up with a abusive, drunkard father who beat up my mother.
If it wasn't for my Lord Jesus Christ, I would've been lost.
Been with my wife for 29 years and I love my life.
This PSA is crap.
I was raised on a ranch by a Vietnam combat vet Marine. It’s amazing I saw my father they easily cry when his mother died, when his little girl my sister was diagnosed with sicknesses as a baby I saw him cry deeply moving sermons in our church I saw my father cry. I never heard of this concept that boys don’t cry. I did hear that boys are to learn how to control their emotions in order to become responsible men, and I don’t know if it was spelled out for me until I was an adult, But I certainly graphs fairly soon did the reason for learning to control one’s emotions was to allow one to think objectively in times of stress.
Only saw my dad get emotional three times. First when I was a kid and his favorite beautiful dog was shot in the hip by a neighbor because the dog had gone on his land. The dog had to be put to sleep. The second time was when my baby brother was born. I was the oldest turning twenty, and after two more daughters, and at 42, he had a son. I wasn't jealous, I was happy for him. And the last time was at my wedding, as he walked me down the aisle, his bottom lip quivering. My father is an old school tough guy Cowboy type, that grew up on real old time western movies. He told me how he played with real bullets as a kid, smashing them with rocks. Oh the things he did, like jumping out of airplanes, or falling though ice on a horse crossing a river. I'm sure he has more lives than a cat. I live in Alberta, just north of Montana. Cowboy country.
Awesome, your dad sound's like a good man
Hello from Saskatchewan 👍 my husband spent his teen years causing chaos in whitewood.
Thank you for sharing. Your dad sounds like a great man!
Alberta boy here too, I can’t say I agreed with Knowles conclusion in the video but it looks like you came to a similar conclusion as me. Men do cry, and men should cry. It’s good to be vulnerable with your family in the moments that they need it. It helps them grow and it shows you love them.
Your dad sounds like a true alberta boy. My dad used to fashion ninja stars outside growing up, and obviously they got taken away.
Always fun to see other Albertans in here.
I think a healthy man cries but for the right reasons like your examples show. Every guy is different. I happen to be very emotional but not usually for self centered reasons. I cry at the movies, I tear up at family gatherings, at funerals, at weddings, at happy memories. I have zero need to hide my emotion. I know who I am.
Some men go "bad" due to emotional abuse, but it's possible, of course, to teach boys to be traditionally manly strong and have morals.
Mothers have a key role in determining whether or not her male children respect the dignity of women. No one talks about how these women contribute to bad son behaviors.
The strong Silent type We are still here That's what I consider myself to be The problem is Is our voice Is being silenced A boy needs to know it's OK To be a boy To be a leader Not not a puddle Of emotional goo
I'm a woman. I, too, was taught not to cry in public. I was taught not to wear my emotions on my sleeves. I was taught to be a lady and 'ladies have control of themselves at all times.' I wonder if they would accuse me of these things too.
I was raised the same.
Absolutely. If you’re taught anything by a more conservative, more controlled person they hate it.
Right?
I can't believe they really went with "dont cry, be a big boy" = will grow up to be a violent rapist
Like that started so normal and then spiraled so hard
There’s no such thing as “toxic masculinity”
I've been told not to cry in my childhood and it worked out really well for me. being sad and weak is never an option
I also tell little girls not to cry(same as I was told as a child) because children have no ability to regulate their emotions. No one actually has a problem with men or women crying for legitimate reasons, but you should try to control yourself in public.
Losing control of your emotions in public is a lot like losing control of your bowels in public. Doesn’t matter that it’s a normal act, it’s not for the public eye.
@@abcdefghij337 at funerals and weddings and other sacred ceremonies, it's perfectly appropriate in public. Jesus wept in public. Warrior kings wept in public. Saints wept in public when appropriate.
More often in private.
It is right and just.
@@abcdefghij337 Losing control of your bowels is in no regard a 'normal act' whether in public or private. That is an atrocious premise for an analogy lol
I think it’s sweet when men cry. Not like all the time like a little baby. But when something is sentimental to them or hurts their heart. Shows that they truly care about people and life and actually aren’t heartless. I want a man that isn’t ashamed to shed a tear but shows great strength. Which I think comes from being able to shed a tear every once in a while.
There are very few things that will lead a man to cry, but you know that they have a reason. Kids cry over stupid stuff, like not getting to use the cup with the specific design on it. Teaching kids that it's okay to cry when every little thing doesn't go their way trains them to think crying is a healthy response to everything that goes wrong.
My husband and I have been together for 26 yrs (since I was 14 & he was 17). He has cried MAYBE 2-3 times. Once was when his grandfather died (the man that acted as his father). He’s the best and most amazing man I know. He’s rugged, a hunter, a gun enthusiast, a machinist, the bull in the China shop, an amazing husband, brother, and father. And there’s nothing toxic in him. This movement itself is toxic.
@@James35142 agreed but with everything there is a balance. Like you have to teach them when it’s ok to cry and how much to cry. Like it’s ok to be sad when you don’t get what you want, but you can’t cry and be angry about it. And you can tear up if your feelings were hurt. And you can cry if someone you love or you are going through something really hard. Like that, teach them that it’s ok to cry or tear up in those times. But teach them that it’s not ok to throw a fit and be mean when something doesn’t go your way.
I've only seen my dad cry twice. Once when my mom died and the 2nd time after his open heart surgery it was so painful for him his eyes kept watering. Men from that generation view a man crying as not a man.
@@jodijohnson23 I might push back in the shedding a tear if your feelings are hurt. If a guy is being picked on and someone is trying to hurt their feelings if they see a tear that will then become another source of ridicule.
I feel like I was the only boy who grew up never hearing anyone say "boy don't cry." I just never heard anyone tell me that -- and I cried a lot when I was growing up. No teacher ever said that, no camp counselor, not my dad, not my stepdad... Is this something people said in, like the 1990s or something that they don't say anymore or is my experience just super unique?
I also never cry now, as an adult, so I feel like it's something men grow out of, anyways as they mature. But, again, maybe that's just me
Merry Christmas, Michael. Much love, Whitney.
I always tell my son who's 6, that's its ok to cry and have ur feelings hurt and be angry and have all these emotions. It's how u deal with those emotions that define who u are or who u can be. But sometimes u have to push that down and do man shit.
Based
It's good that you're teaching your son how to understand his emotions. This way, he can actually control his emotions with confidence instead of simply suppressing them out of fear.
My hubby is the "strong, silent type". He only tears up at funerals and when we have really bad fights (twice). Oh, and when our daughter was born ❤️.
Apparently that instantly makes him a rapists according to the people behind this ad. 🤦🏾♀️
@@Kiki-fe2le Yup. He's awful, I tell ya... Lol.
When it's acceptable for a man to cry:
1. The birth of your first child.
2.The death of your first child.
3. The end of Old Yeller.
4. When you get kicked in the nuts.
That is it.
What I tell my kids, both boy and girl, is time and place. It's okay to have emotions, and it's okay to cry, but not in the thick of it. You need to maintain control over your emotions until the objective is accomplished. If not you'll be the kind of person panicking in an emergency or breaking down at work midway through a job on a time deadline. It's okay to feel your emotions, but evaluate the time and place before ever letting them control your actions. Not only is it an important aspect of maturity and decision making, but in many cases safety.
Women aren't the only ones that suffer from domestic abuse don't forget
And men aren't the only abusers.
Women sexually assault and abuse more than men do. Ask your friends how many women have touched their penis in the club. Ask how many men have been hit by a woman. Most of us have
Classic sales technique. They try and get the audience to say "Yes" several times on more mild scenarios and then make a huge jump to "Violent rapist". If their message rang true they wouldn't need tactics like this. The add is appalling.
I so appreciate you, Michael!
You are such an encouragement!
God bless you and your family!
Without the spooky music, this commercial tells the story of a sensitive boy with an angry mother, who was bullied at school and fought back. He worked to improve himself, and make himself stronger. As he grew, he made some mistakes, learned about girls, roughhoused with friends, played with fire (notice they weren't burning anything except hairspray,) and had the kind of fun unsupervised teenage boys will have. When he went to that party, he saw a girl who was too drunk, so he took her upstairs and put her to bed. He might even have kept an eye on her so no one would bother her, or she wouldn't throw up on herself. That happens far more often than something terrible. The only real thing he did wrong was the "slut" picture of that girl. But maybe he realized it was a crappy thing to do and deleted it.
🏆 here an oscar
You shouldn’t beat people up though.
@Zack Seidling In this video the kid bumped into him and called him a “loser” he result in beating him in the face ruthlessly.
@@balldropper3423 and I’m guessing that kid never bullied him again, or a lot of other kids who might now fight back rather than take it. There is absolutely nothing wrong a kid with punching a bully
The red lighting helps paint a sinister picture too.
With regards to the picture he posted, yeah that's not particularly cool but what if she is a slut?
I was expecting a “Boys can be girls.”😂
Creating this kind of thinking that teaching your boys to be strong is somehow going to make them abusive or criminals which is ridiculous, the only way your child will suffer from consequence if you don’t give them boundaries
This is the most elaborate and unprovoked male bashing I've ever seen.
I don’t watch television , so this is very shocking to even think there are commercials out there like this.
I was raised with all boys. I learned to “tough it out” and “just rub dirt on it”. Lol. I’m SO grateful for those lessons because over the years as I’ve faced tough life problems (as we all do) I could cope more easily than most. And today I teach my granddaughter to tough it out. Tough is much better than weak.
Same dude if I was told to “suck it up” and I am happy for it so Im not one of those losers who think they is a dog or sum
@@hughmungus431 yes “in women”
Being weak means you can whine until you get your way. No wonder feminists worked so hard to make all women weak victims.
yea now people are being taught to be weak, and if your ever so slightly manly it's "toxic"
I know that when I started doing push-ups in my room at 12 years old it quickly motivated me to become an arsonist and a rapist.
I love the editing so much. It's fantastic
I thank God everyday that I'm not a weirdo freak
Who says that you’re not? Yourself?
@@garrett3726 says the biggest freak of them all 😂😂😂👍 I guess I offended your soft little self P.S. stop liking your own comment 😂 everyone can tell
@@shadyganley8877 you need to calm down. Sorry I triggered you
As a mother I would never have told my son he couldn't cry, I would have hugged and asked what happened.
Exactly
No. Depends on the reason. Same with my girls. I tell them all the time there’s no need to cry.
Rapists and murderers are not strong and courageous. They are devious and cowardly.
Absolutely, differences do compliment each other. Loved the special effects!
That “Fortnite” got me 😂
yeah
The reason we have to tell boys not to cry, (if it’s anything like my son) is because they cry so dang much and you have to toughen them at some point. My daughter never cries and my son cries all the time. We have been trying to teach him to control his emotions. Everyone needs to learn to control their emotions sometimes. We tech them there is a time to cry and a time not to cry
Your little situation is cute, but that isn’t usually the reason why others tell boys not to cry.
Jessica, you cant say why an entire thing like that needs to happen based off of your own personal expierences, because you have a bias so your going to conform to that bias, also if he still can't control his emotions despite you teaching him how to then either hes a slow learner or hey may have a deeper problem, most of the time that isn't the reason to tell boys not to cry, while i do agree we shouldn't cry all the time, the problem is when Men do cry for good reasons (like a close one of our friends or family dies) we're told Men don't cry, thats the issue.
So, my parents never belittled my brother for crying as a child.. he still didn't grow up to be a crybaby. My father would comfort him as a child but tell him when he gets older, boys didn't cry as much. His friends were told the same. As they grew, it was like a contest. Now, they are grown and have families. They protect their families, jus like my father did. I say, "Let boys be boys."
I cry when necessary.
Once I cried when I got the text message that a friend suddenly died.
And another time I cried when I read the letter from an organisation like child services, that the six years old son of another friend was taken into an emergency child care home, in a secret place, not accessible for the father and the mother.
I cried for that kid, we never saw anything wrong, and in what pain he must have been, and we only saw him happy. After one and a half year, after many psychologists and social workers it turned out to be that nothing was wrong with the kid, nor with the new boyfriend of his mother. The real problem was that an over active social worker hoped to see signs that weren't there. Almost something drastic happened to the new boyfriend of the mother, I am very happy that I was able to talk the father of the child out of doing something irreversible. I have saved somebody's life, without knowing his name, without ever having spoken to him.
The unbridled RAGE building in Michael's eyes towards the end of the commercial tells you everything you want to know. Saying "boys will be boys" is the same as date rape is worthy of such righteous anger.
Now there is a word we desperately need back in public discourse..SIN
Well sin was just removed from the Oxford kids dictionary.
Calling people sinners is judgment. Sins are committed but that doesn't change us who are created in the likeness of God into something else. Thinking sins persist is the mistake. Forgiveness is metanoia, It's changing your mind about who we are.
@@robertdouglas8895 repentance is metanoia.
@@littleboots9800 It's, changing the mind, unloading the burden of guilt. It brings us back to the grace of God in which we are created in the likeness of our creator because He cannot create what is less than Himself. As we do it for others, we do it for ourselves because we are all the same creation. ]
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
@@robertdouglas8895 But the metanoia (changing of the mind/heart, a transformative process, fundamental change in outlook) is what is required first in order for forgiveness to be granted. If I sin against another, it is for them to forgive me, not for me to forgive myself. My job is to repent. If I repent of my sin against someone (and primarily against God as all sin is against God,) they may or may not forgive me, but God will. The person I have sinned against cannot be made to forgive me even if I have gone through a process of metanoia. If I have repented and been forgiven by God however my sin is not counted against me anymore and I can be sure of that and rejoice in it.
The idea that we are to forgive ourselves is one I struggle to find Biblical support for.
Charizomai, aphesis and apoluo are the words I see and I can't see a way the greek is being used to be a forgiving of oneself. I cant see any example of self forgiveness and tbh, it smacks of some therapeutic self help manual. There is only an acceptance of the realisation of God's forgiveness and the peace and joy that brings, not a "self forgiveness" that I can see.
What I find interesting is that to me it wasn't the dad who was abusing the mother. The mother was the one throwing things and screaming, so how can this be blamed on the father?
There is a time for every emotion for both sexes. My husband cried, when his grandmother died. He gets emotional when we see patriotic movies, and he has shown our children that there is a clean and necessary balance for emotional outbursts or extreme emotions. I love him for it! I want my daughters to know what qualities to look for a man by the example their father sets, and I want my boys to know how to take care of a woman and what qualities will attract a quality woman. The future is scary and I am fearful for my children
Love. That’s what’s missing in a boy’s life. Don’t just teach him that life is hard so he must be. Teach him that love, for others and also himself is just as important. Parents need to model this to their kids. Unfortunately this boy’s parents seem highly dysfunctional. If that’s all he knows then, yes he can turn out to be a “toxic” person (women can be toxic too).
The editing is the cherry on the cake.
They don’t seem to understand the difference between good and bad behavior.
The strongest indicator in the country of whether a man/boy will end up in prison is growing up in a fatherless home, same with school shooters. Why is that? Because good fathers and most fathers don't teach boys to be aggressive. Males are born with the instincts to become aggressive, it is baked in. Fathers teach sons to control their aggression and emotions. "Toughen Up" and "Be Brave" are ideas that teach young boys that discipline and control. It is fathers that instinctively understand the need to teach boys these things because we were boys.
4:54. I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time! I love who edits these!
The story in the ad isn't about toxic masculinity it's about what happens when a child has their homelife torn to shreds and they experience it without support. You could put a girl in that very same ad and have pretty much the same outcomes.
That edit saying, “*among other things” bruhhh 😂😂👌
They've been thinking it for a long time, and now they're saying it.
Was not expecting the "BABY WANT A BOTTLE!?" from King of the Hill 😂🤣
The editors outdid themselves for this episode today for sure
Wow!!! That was very disturbing! My parents taught me to be tough, to never cry, to be strong, to be a leader, etc... But possibly the most important part of being a man, is to protect women, children, and weaker individuals.
My dad was like "cry if you want to, see what good it does" and women are the ones at fault by ignoring the very real pain men feel and exasperating the issue by mocking them when they do.
@@CousinCreepy Damn right man.
It's a God given emotion to express sadness. Now if you cry and for how long and how strongly , that's up to you.
@@ramtigerfalcon8387 thanks man, that's means alot to me...snif...I'm not crying...snif...it's just allergies...snuf...pass me a tissue bro! Ha! Well said Ram!
Ummm why would your parents tell you to protect women, do your parent not understand there are PLENTY of VV@m3n that will skin you alive just for fun or are your parents on the low spectrum of IQ?
Exactly. Values. Responsibility/duty.
I know 2 brothers who grew up in my neighborhood. Thier mom was single and very abusive. One brother was always bad, tortured kittens by age 8, tried to kill his brother, set the couch on fire, etc. By age 16 he was sentenced for murder.
His brother, however, was the opposite. He became a war hero and saved my sister when our house was on fire.
While upbringing can cause children to have a higher risk to turn out bad, there is still personal choice. Ultimately it is PERSONAL responsibility, not your upbringing that causes you to be good or bad.
Strangely enough...it looked like the woman lost her temper, screamed, & threw stuff...I did not see him hit her.
Fighting with no context...
The supposed "rape" scene with again, no context...leaving everyone to assume the worst.
Such B.S.
They aren't done trying to get rid of our men? I'm glad my son is grown and doesn't have to go through childhood in this messed up and evil world
These edits are amazing, just right in that perfect zone of sprinkled in, kind of inside/running jokey, but not closed off or overdone. Whoever does these earns their pay.
