Let's Talk about "why men act the way they act"

I do not intend to bore you with theories about why men act the way they do...so I choose to go straight to the point. society. yea, society makes them act the way they do. There's something about society and it's already paved ways. A person is born and has to be totally structured in line with what's suppose to be. The moment you chose to deviate, you then become an aberrant, an unrepentant deviant. This could likely be the problem of a lot of men if not all: "Boys don't cry, boys don't help out with feminine chores, boys throw out the trash can, boys defend their territory, boys are egoistic and strong, boys got to do this, boys got to do that. In that atmosphere the boy grows up into an already hybridized robot, he is already fixated with what ever society has put up for him. Suddenly, he becomes a grown man who has lost all connection with his emotions, that which makes him sensitive to societal happenings. He hears the drum beat once again "As a man you got to work your ass out that's the way it has always been, you got to hold up to familial responsibilities. Family would say "guy you have 10 siblings to look out for their welfare". The church body would say "brother, there's this project that's been going on for quite sometime, you got to sow in. Your friends would be like "why stick to one woman, as a man you are entitled to cheat, cheat my dear. And if the man is wise enough, he would ask "why should I cheat?. The office world then comes with its own worldly competition. U Got to outsmart others to get up there.

Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that being a man doesn't come with its responsibilities. It absolutely does. But all I say is "so many men loose themselves trying to fit in". He realizes societal impact when he has lost his connection with his kids. It's no longer words but short mumblings.
