Crying Men

I found this article to be very interesting. The author structured the article well, giving a good amount of background leading up to relating the issue to modern times. The arguemant is made through logos appeals. Men crying less than women was of course not shocking, however, men openly crying in the past was. The author said this was due to a greater level of intimacy between people living together. Today, we live amount strangers where the open expression of emotion can be viewed as out of place and weird. To end the article the author says men should cry more because people who cry are usually the most satisfied. I wouldn't say men need to cry more. I would say more emotional expression, maybe just talking to a close friend or partner, would lead to better mental health amongst males.

  1. I totally agree with the statements you made and that men shouldn't necessarily cry more just for "satisfaction" in life, there should be a legitimate reason. Also, i agree with the fact that we are more surrounded by strangers so it makes it awkward
