Men role to society

Sexism damages men as well as women, by pressuring them to fit in impossible gender roles.  Although people care about feminism more, they need to also take into consideration sexist gender roles also affect men. Men are more pressured than women as to how they should be living their lives and their roles as men. They are five popular roles society says men have to fulfill. One role is that men have to make money. Men are “supposed” to make a lot of money, and be wealthy if possible for him and his family. Another is winning. They say men have to be better than the next man in anything they do. There supposed to care passionately of their position.  Third is being physically strong. Most common expectation of men is to be strong, built, muscular, and big. The fourth role of men is Fix stuff. Men are supposed to be the “handy man”, there supposed to have some inborn ability to fix about anything. Lastly, “Get it up”, it sounds crazy but this is what society portrays. Another one of their expectation is to please their partner.

   I feel these five expectations of men are funny on a way but also ridiculous. I feel like everyone is their own person and not everyone does the same thing or have the same expectations. Society seriously need their own reality check.
