Telling a guy to "man up" is the same as telling a woman to "get back in the kitchen."

I see a lot of posts on Chambers of people whom have gone through traumatic experiences in their lives; be it war, rape, suicide, depression, that sort of stuff.<br><br>Usually, 50% of a comment thread consists of 'man up' and 'X can't happen to men!'. It's annoying as all hell, and yeeah often those comments do get downvoted, but not enough to send them straight to the bottom of the list.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>Edit: Holy shit this blew up.<br><br>Edit no. 2: As said by u/Zap__Dannigan:<br><br>> Context is important, which it seems many people don't understand. <br>> <br>>If I say "Man up" to my buddy who is trying to talk to me about his emotional needs, that's pretty shitty of me and is perpetuating a harmful stereotype. <br>> <br>>If I saw "Man up" to my buddy working up the courage to go on a roller coaster or ask out a girl he's interested in, it's just harmless chat that means "be brave right now".<br><br>Couldn't of said it better.
