Even men do fight and struggle
till the end

We all are living in a stereotypical
society where being
a boy or a man these days
is exemplified by using casual words like
“toxic” but to understand men one needs to
take a step back and put their feet in their
shoes and understand their behavior, cognition,
and ambition which will surely give a
broader view of what men go through all the
time.
We always talk about our mothers being
a huge support to the family but have
we ever talked about our dad? sometimes
rights. Even men play a key role in the
family and they have a lot of pressure and
struggle to go on with. Even men do suffer
from work-life balance just like women do.
There have been many studies that showed
that men have been struggling a lot but just
don’t like to talk about it openly thinking
that they would be judged based on that giv-
ing out signs of them being weak, a threat
to their “masculinity” and a feeling of being
stigmatized by this society It can be clearly
said that men are getting affecting with that,
they are silently dealing with everything
which does effect. Even now we can see that
men give time to their families, their children,
and other household chores. All of this
creates a huge problem for them. Men have
been working till the end of us. They have
huge pressure on them for sustaining the
whole families because according to the socalled
“society” of our men need to get an
earring for the family even if the female of
the family is not working. This shows that
the patriarchal society we live in is not just
an issue for the female but even it is creating
an enforcing atmosphere for the males of the
family. Men just never get rid of their work
they are constantly working for making sure
that their family sustains a good life.
