Traditional Gender Roles: Which Later Transition Into Adulthood?
Traditional gender roles play a major part in any relationship. At an early age girls are often taught to be accommodating, passive, and to be sensitive to other’s needs. On the other hand boys are taught not to cry, and not to discuss their emotions this is seen as being "strong." Which later transitions into adulthood.
Just about every literature book discusses a male in power who has cried publicly. During that time tears meant that a man cared enough to show his emotions. Until recently, society has set a precedent that strong men don't cry. To "Suck it up" and to deal with whatever the world throws at them without shedding a single tear.
I personally believe that just as women need an outlet so do men regardless of societal norms.
