Suppresing

Based on the Merriam-Webster Suppressing (Verb) means to put down by authority or force. while reading in class about “A Master’s Degree in Masculinity” the suppressing word called my attention because now that I know that meaning it represent the article in way that men have the pressure of society to act tough, show no emotions and most important to never cry. On  “A Master’s Degree in Masculinity” it states, “It means suppressing any kind of weakness.” this quote shows that in the society that we live today men are not suppose to be weak because they are man but, women are suppose to be weak, because we grew up with that image that our parents taught us about what a real man is and how they are suppose to act.
