Why are men as they are?

Men and women are human beings. Though both species are absolutely different. In these two phrases we can not find out anything new. Indeed men and women are different, but why are men like they are? Men seem to believe that they need to be stronger, more violent, more aggressive, as even, never weep, show weakness or accept a dominant woman. Why then? Unfortunately this fact seems to be associated with the form like we have created our boys.
Since the beginning when a boy is born, he hears a lot of contagious phrases like: "Men do not cry!", "Do not be sissy!", "Men works things out fighting!", "If she wants you should not refuse to have sex!", "Say to her that she is hot!", "If he piss you off, beat him!", "You need to be dominant!", "Be strong, do not show weakness!", "She likes to be treated like that!", and a lot of more. Although some families changed considerable during the last years, some part of these phrases still are heard at them. The history show us that men have been trained to be like they are. The men are charged to act like they have acted.
In fact I am not justifying and saying that men are blameless. I am arguing that since childhood the boys are created to be like they are. Even the fact that many families could consider to be making mistakes, they do not perceive the whole issue like a mistake. Seems like a cultural effect with cultural consequences.
Truly we can have facts out of control. Indeed when a man beats a woman, or rape another one, or shoot in other person, we can not justify with these arguments listed. These acts are insane and we can not relate with the education we give to our children. Even with these exceptions, we should not accept how we have created our boys as being common. Frequently boys go to school trying all the time be strongest, coolest and most popular. Then, to sustain that, a lot of violence, bullying and sorrowful consequences have happened.
Nowadays it is proved that men and women can be equal on a lot of situations. We can see women running companies equal or better than men. We can see women driving even better than men. At other hand, we can see men raise a child equal or better than a women, or also managing a house. Then, why do we carry on creating both absolutely differently? Men and women have natural differences. We do not need raise them differently. We need to educate them with the same love, words, examples, values and attitudes. They will be different for themselves.
Summing up, Frankenstein created a monster and was killed by him. It seems to me that we are dying for our own monster. Men should freely weep, be patient, be polite, be dominated or be sissy if he wants. Instead of what we have seen sometimes, it is beautiful see a man being a truly man and not only a reflection of machismo. If you want to go deep into this subject, watch a good documentary called "The mask you live in". It is not because the things were as we saw in the past that they need to carry on.


A nice week. See you soon.
