Men do not seem like they are proud to be men, and this is detrimental to their mental health. We need to celebrate men instead of demonizing them. ( kbin.social )

Men often define themselves and what it means to be a mean in negative terms.

Even when you try to frame it positively, being a man is less about being that good thing and more about calling something else bad, and trying to force people not to engage in that thing or risk their manhood.

For example, there were times when men were secretaries, nurses, teachers, etc. by a vast majority. In each field, as soon as a critical threshold of women entered that work space...men fled the field.

I agree that something needs to change, but it isn't going to happen by trying to increase pride or whatever. It's going to be slow incremental efforts amongst multiple men to undermine the voice in their head telling them they're weak or feminine or whatever for engaging in normal human behavior.
