Man Up

In Australia there is this man up campaign to encourage men to cry.

Re: Man Up

Didn't realize this was such a hard-hitting issue to warrant a campaign, but ok....


Ugly crying is pretty crying

Re: Man Up

I like this!  But I'm someone who hates the old stereotype of "men shouldn't cry." 

Now, if only we could have such a campaign here in America (arguably the place where all this "real men don't cry" stuff is/has been at its strongest).

Count me out. Crying makes me miserable.

Those videos are awesome.  I love the Aussie attitude: "Fuck that!"

Re: Man Up

Tornorth the issue is the high rate of violence and suicide among men.  The aim of this campaign is to encode men to release pain by crying so it doesn't fester into rage and depression over time
