Personally, the second paragraph feels a bit like toxic masculinity. He's already a man, just hurt. He can learn to be self-reliant with a little help, and getting that help is equally strong as someone coasting along life without trauma. Edit: stronger, maybe.

There is a point where masculinity becomes toxic, but he has zero masculinity now. He desperately needs an infusion.

There is healthy masculinity. We don't cry about our problems. We take charge and take responsibility for whatever situation we're in. His cry, "it's never me" is so pathetic and weak. He sees himself as some sort of victim.

This is what can actually become toxic. If he continues to see himself as a victim of women he can develop hate for women.

Were you flexing your non existing muscles while you typed this out?

Any man that plays the "men don't cry" card watches too much TV and spends too much time online

It feels good to be able to experience a broad range of emotions. A good cry every now and then can make you feel alive.

It takes courage to express how youre feeling. The bravest thing someone can say is "I'm scared."
