Today, I asked my boyfriend to try and man up and act a bit tougher. He started crying. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Same thing different taste
Today, my girlfriend gave me a speech on me "not being manly enough". I started crying. FML
Smash the patriarchy!
Today, I was wrestling with my boyfriend, trying to prove to him that I was stronger. I did. He started crying. He then broke up with me because he couldn't be in a relationship in which his girlfriend was stronger than him. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to beat him up so he could look tough around his friends. When I just stared at him, he added, "Please don't break anything though. Nothing too serious." FML
Today, my 8-year-old son told me to grow a pair and man up. FML
Today, my boyfriend tried to rid me of my hiccups. As he'd screamed at me and I'd pissed my pants, I just burst into tears. FML
Today, I tried to break up with my boyfriend. He said no. FML
Toxic masculinity = No housework
Today, my boyfriend got upset after I politely asked him to do the laundry. He takes every chance he gets to act macho and brag to people about how he's in the Marines, but apparently he is too much of a pussy to act like a man and clean his own clothes. FML
Thanks Sweaty
Today, I was feeling really down and my boyfriend refused to be there for me. It’s funny because a couple of months ago he was going through the same thing and I did everything I could to comfort him. FML
Say it ain't so, please
Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML
Mr. Robot
Today, my boyfriend said we needed to talk. He called me cruel, cold and heartless and that it’s making him reconsider what kind of future we may have together. All because I hate sappy movies and don’t cry on the scenes where the dogs die. FML

Oh noes! You're seeing someone who doesn't fit ridiculously narrowly-defined stereotypes about what it means to be male! Poor you!

you never tell your boyfriend to man up, that's pretty much like cutting off his balls and throwing them in his face

My girlfriend thinks it's cute that Toy Story 3 makes me cry.. Even though she doesn't.. Lol. Being sensitive doesn't mean walking on eggshells. I'm sensitive, but the only eggshells in my relationship involve a time period when she dumped me for another guy, treated me like shit for 3 months, then begged me to take her back after I'd moved in with my (now) ex. But that's a long story =) Point is.. Being sensitive and being a sissy girly man(read this with a la Schwartzenegger) are different things. My Toy Story 3 tears probably seemed manlier than her sceneybopper ex threatening to kill himself or crying when she texted guys and lesbians he didn't know. It at least seemed manlier than his whining over a straightener and eyeliner. Wow, when I type it out it seems so much funnier..

Dear OP, I feel like you're overreacting. Rather than blatantly insulting his masculinity, you should, dare I say, see if there's an issue? Or how about you break it off with him so that he can find someone who appreciates him, and you can find this 'manly man' of your dreams. Personally, I think its 'manly' for men to avoid these stereotypes and be who they are comfortable being, but whatever floats your boat I suppose.

I see, your would rather have a guy who treats sex as a rough game than a guy who treats it as something special? You like guys who love to yell at you and insult you, rather than a guy who would like to snuggle and kiss.............You need to set some priorities straight ms.
