Boys don't cry, or at least they're not supposed to. Yes, the old,
unreconstructed machismo that was once all too synonymous with being a
man has been partly driven back; men are more likely to open up and talk
about their feelings. But discussing anxiety, depression
and mental distress is still seen as weak or unmanly; the pressure to
"man up" and "stop being such a woman" remains pervasive. And let's be
frank: these expectations are killing all too many men.
