Guante: 10 Responses to the Phrase "Man Up" (Spoken-Word)
A powerful and passionate response to the insistence by Western culture that men fit into a tough narrow muscular box where to "man up" is the ultimate goal.
I Loved it! The phrase "Man up" is what is helping to cause stereo typical views of masculinity. Who says that one, especially a man isn't a man because he feels certain emotions or acts a certain way? When exactly is it necessary to "Man up" and when is it okay to be a flawed human who has emotions and feelings?
