Unspoken Truths of the Male Psyche Tamara Armour

"How do you know how to be a man; when being a so called "man" is harder than being yourself?" Society tells men they are not supposed to cry or feel any kind of emotion. Men are raised from little boys with the concept, they should be able to take care of themselves and own their own home, as soon as they can sign their name to a lease. Men are taught to be independent, competitive, confident, risk-takers, leaders and sex addicts. The world's definition of what a man should be and God's definition are two different things. I believe that men are tired of living up to society's unrealistic expectations of what a man should be. Many men are rebelling but they are not sure what they are fighting against. Maybe this book can help shed some light, on what you are feeling inside, that you are afraid to express. What is ironic about the "male code" is there is no written book anywhere that tells you how to be a man and what is expected of you. Everything is an unspoken code passed down generation to generation. Men are reminded in society of everything they are supposed to be. No one can tell them where this expectation came from. All they know is they are blindly following a code, which at times, conflict with their morals, thoughts, beliefs and personality.
