what does “man up” specifically mean? be numb? if that’s true there’s the problem with “men” in itself. more suppression = lack of expression =

No

It means

Take responsibility
Be intentional about finding resolution
Do not be swayed in your conviction

No, this is not exclusive to men only. The saying comes from the manhood, testosterone being associated with these tenets.

Don’t go through life feeling sorry for yourself is the bottom line.

(Also miss KTT1 when you could quote multiple posts. Saved so much space)

Absolutely. I hate that this sort of mindset is associated with toxic masculinity. I want to see women doing this too. Women should be out here telling everyone to f*** themselves and throwing hands.

Women can be just as strong as men, and most men will fold if a woman really about it starts taking it to them.

Every person whether man, woman or trans needs to be so militant in their mindset to better themselves.

And yes, I hate that feature isn't on this site too. I often don't reply to people because I don't want 5 separate posts in a row.

More like lazy behavior has become accepted. When things don’t go your way just blame a scapegoat and call it a day

Hell yeah. It’s not about male or female mutual exclusivity, it’s about finding the beauty in tenets that are associated with masculine or feminine characteristics. Testosterone and estrogen both have profound differences, strengths, and weaknesses.

Yeah, I’m tired of the blame game. It will take us no where good in long term discourse IMO.

Love all but don’t take s*** and for others sakes I hope you don’t intentionally suffer with how tough reality is. Face it

Yes! So damn annoying. Miss a lot about KTT1. Better roasts with being able to quote a post many times

America as a whole wants people who lack self responsibility that’s what keeps people in the consumer mindset. If you feed people insecurities they will always seek more.

The ones who say that f*** that s*** and grab life by its neck is the ones who win.

I see too many on the left associate self responsibility with the bootstraps mentality we see so often on the right. I am here to tell you that nobody gives a f***ing s***e about you. Nobody cares. F*** people. If you base your life around waiting for somebody else to help you, you will fail. You have to take self responsibility and help yourself and your own people.

I speak to so many people who are going through many different issues. I speak to depressed, suicidal people. I speak to people who have suffered abuse. I speak to people who have experienced severe discrimination. I speak to many homeless people who have settled outside a local shop since lockdown. What many of these people convince themselves is that better times will come. Somebody will help them out of the hole one day. There will be support. These are people who have been ground down and beaten. These are defeated people. The state love defeated people. They cause nobody any issues.

You cannot become a defeated person. You have to take self responsibility and you have to throw hands. To be pretty blunt, nobody gives a f*** about you or your problems but you. You have to man up and take self responsibility for your own issues. There is no magic solution for you. You have to create the solution by manning up. I used to feel there was help out there. I got denied it.

Self responsibility is not a taboo. A portion of the left attempts to address structural inequalities that cannot be solved through self responsibility or “pulling yourself up by the bootstraps”. In response, the right conflates lack of self responsibility with structural inequalities as a way to keep structural inequalities in place.

Well, I would disagree. There is such a staunch campaign to label everything as a bigotry, that we have lost many good tenets that hold good value to best our human nature.
