We teach our “tough boys” not to cry, but instead we should teach them not to make women in their lives cry.The men who grow up violent are often the ones who were never allowed a healthy outlet for their emotions. Teaching boys they can't cry forces them to find other outlets for their frustration, anger, and sadness--and because of toxic machismo values, boys and men will turn to violence. No, not all men are like that, but to be denied your humanity is something that affects many people in terrible ways. Why should violence be socially acceptable for men, but not crying? On the other hand, boys who are allowed to express their emotions will not have to bottle them up, and will be able to find non-violent, healthy ways to express themselves. Men aren't naturally creatures of violence, but this is one of the many reasons many men become violent. 'Start With The Boys', a short film directed by Vinil Mathew and produced by Alex Kuruvilla, Managing Director, Conde Nast India, makes a powerful point about domestic violence.
