"But... honey! I'm so sick!"
Ever heard your man complaining about his sniffles and aches as though it were doomsday? It's a strange phenomenon. For the man who wouldn't complain if he got pinned beneath a rafter during a semi-annual home-repair session, he's sure got a case of the whineys when it comes to his health during a cold.
Bulk up man, geez! Where's your macho man attitude?
But, really? Is is possible for us ever to cut men some slack? Does a masculine attitude have to prevail even in times of sickness? Maybe we hold the male image to too-high a standard, if we do not allow him - even in his time of misery! - to show his pain. To what extent does this go? If he has a critical illness, do we critique him then?
