This brief YouTube video makes the point that, to our society’s detriment, young boys are told to be a man, don’t cry, don’t act like a fag… We look at caring, nurturing, relationships, and empathy as predominantly feminine traits. Boys displaying too much of these values are told, “Don’t be a pussy.” or, “Grow some balls.” And to date, we devalue what we feminize.

Is this true? If so, is it good or bad? If bad, how can we change it?
