content: actually i agree with that particular statement. people (most often women) often say "man up" and "be a man" when they really mean "shut up and do what i tell you". giving a flying fuck about someone else's shaming language is downright unmanly. do what you think is right, being masculine means being the leader and not the sheep that follows. if someone tells you that you should be like this or that, or if they tell you that you are failing to be a man because they don't like the decisions you have made just kindly tell them to go fuck themselves. if they have a point they can make it without trying to shame you. if all they have is shame it means they have no ground to stand on.
