Today, I asked my boyfriend to try and man up and act a bit tougher. He started crying. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

So, women spend the last 40 years emasculating men and when they finally do it, what do they say "Man up!" As a group, women are complete idiots who don't know what they want, don't understand the concept of equality, are never satisfied, complain about everything, don't know how to communicate, and are hypocrites.

What does man up & act tougher mean anyway? Get into fights with random ppl in a bar? Work in a slaughterhouse? Drive like crazy & if a cop follows him get into one of those mad chases? I kno a girl who did something similar, anytime a guy (whom she didn't like) even looked at her, she'd provoke her bf to beat him up. He is now in prison, she has moved on to another guy.

this^^ I'd be careful about breaking up with him. the last overly sensitive guy I dated/broke up with needed the threat of a restraining order to leave me alone. he cried about that too. = but who knows, maybe it was just his time of the month and op said the wrong thing at the wrong time?

Actually many abusers are the guys the world sees as "wimps". Especially if their partner expresses a desire for them to "man up". They feel a need to prove their manhood and strength, but they are too cowardly to go head to head with another man so they turn their aggression on women.
