It’s not about what it’s supposed to mean, the fact is there are a preponderance of dudes who do use it inappropriately and that’s damaging for dudes on the receiving end who try to apply it where it was used with toxicity. It’s basically toxic social support in those cases.

There was never really an appropriate use of it. It was always about not crying, drinking the wrong thing, etc.

idk I think it’s ok for motivating yourself to do stuff no one ever wants to do like the other guy said. Like for chores and things.

Why does it have to be "man up" then? Why not "just fucking do it"

What is manly about doing chores? Do women just do nothing? It makes no sense.
