Macho Paradigm
The Macho Paradigm is the idea that being a man means you never fail, never feel, and never let anyone see you sweat. It’s like being stuck in a meat locker wearing a suit.
My cousin got called a ‘girl’ for getting a B on his math test.
My uncle refused to go to the doctor because he said, 'Men don’t get sick.'
My brother got teased for eating a popsicle in public.
