I think this is an important message because these are things society doesn’t necessarily educate men on or even often accept from men. Other genders and groups have problems, many of those are chronic and long standing, and traditionally the well being of men has been an emphasis in society- but that doesn’t mean we can or should completely ignore the needs of men, especially young men growing up today who didn’t create these systems and often haven’t even yet had much chance in participating in them beyond being born into them. So I think a lot of men do need to hear and be shown that it is ok to be vulnerable and to be emotional and such.

That said- I think we also need to not get carried away and push that as the only acceptable way either. What I mean is that we need to be open and accepting and not judge men on the OPTIONS they choose, that crying or seeking therapy because that’s what you need or feel like shouldn’t make a man be judged any more than a man not seeking therapy or not crying etc. No matter how accepting the world becomes you would not see me cry at work. I wouldn’t judge you if you did, please don’t judge me if I didn’t. What it is all about is that we be able to share our feelings and thoughts in ways that are comfortable to us, to be able to express ourselves and do what is healthy for us. Some people need different things and some people aren’t ready for certain things.
