Well, I don't have much evidence to back up my claim atm, but this is mostly from personal experience. I have always felt like there is this invisible onus upon men that they need to act "tough " no matter what. There is a some sort of stigma that prevents us from sharing our sad side.
I mean people making memes out of Will Smiths genuine sad face pretty much shows that it’s not taken seriously. I know it's a debate club, but couldn’t help myself from sharing this perspective even though I am not really prepared to debate about it. Just expressing it out of genuine "feelings " rather than extensive research on it.

^Bruh your feelings / experiences / perspectives are really valuable, don't feel like you have to have done formal "research" on an area to comment on it! This is just as much a "social commentary" club as a "debate" club anyway lol. I love reading your comments

And yeah spot on, there's constant social pressure on men to "man up" and act "tough". It makes getting professional help, or even just getting support from friends, harder for them.

I know the term "toxic masculinity" gets a bad wrap as sOcIal JuStiCe wArRiOr language but it was first used, and still is used, in academia. In social science, it refers to:
Traditional cultural masculine norms that can be harmful to men, women, and society overall; this concept of toxic masculinity is not intended to demonize men or male attributes, but rather to emphasize the harmful effects of conformity to certain traditional masculine ideal behaviors such as dominance, self-reliance, and competition. Toxic masculinity is thus defined by adherence to traditional male gender roles that consequently stigmatize and limit the emotions boys and men may comfortably express while elevating other emotions such as anger.

Mental health is a perfect example of why these norms are just as harmful to men as they are to women. The self-reliance expected of men puts them uniquely at risk of suffering in silence and without any help.

I second that; you feelings and perspective are important! My proof is also personal I have two examples though I'm not going to delve into the second one as it is more deeply personal. The other story though is that my dad used to have really bad anger issues. For a long time he wasn't diagnosed and wasn't getting treated. Turns out he has bipolar and anxiety. The latter of the two is often dismissed because it isn't 'manly' to have anxiety.

I really hate the 'boys don't cry' stigma. Because they do and they should. Crying is a natural outlet. Unfortunately I got raised with the boys don't cry mentality despite being a woman. It is so ingrained in me that I couldn't even cry when my brother died. At least not in front of people. However if there was no other silver lining, I saw so many grown men cry that day and no one was judging. It was really nice. Even still, telling men to suck it up and bottle it up is a mental explosion waiting to happen. It isn't healthy in anyway and probably is a factor in why men's suicide is so high. They feel like they'll get mocked if they try to open up about what makes them sad.
