Depression and Masculinity

[Jason]

It's not considered cool for men to cry or be depressed.  Do you feel it shouldn't be?  Well, I don't think men should cry or show depression symptoms cause it's not really helping the situation anyway.   But of course, I'm sure a lot of men cry and show depression symptoms in private and I suppose there's nothing wrong with that.

Well, how do you feel about women and depression and crying?  It's more acceptable for them to act that way, but then again, too much crying and depression isn't good so maybe they would benefit by trying to toughen up a bit.

A lot of males don't like showing any signs of Depression as it could be a sign of Weakness linking onto their masculinity. However, this is a bunch of rubbish and very stereotypical. You shouldn't be afraid to speak up otherwise you'll never solve problems.
