To admit one's vulnerability or emotionality is not a fault, stop thinking in these terms.

Men don't need to be strong, they need to be healthy. And tending to one's mental health is part of it.

To say that men must be strong is no different than saying that women must be obedient or accomodating; it's patriarchal drivel in the form of imposed societal roles, and it has no place in a civilized culture.

I'll be as weak as I want to be, and will defend the right of other men to do the same. Whoever tries to tell people how they should behave or be can go eat a bag of dirt.
