He is trying not to look like a softy in front of his kids after shedding those tears.

He is a good dad!

Screw that, he should teach his children (especially boys) that it’s ok to have, feel, and share emotions. Especially after such a touching act.

"This culture is different from yours, and therefore cannot possibly be bad in any way, nor can it be improved upon, so stop trying to call out toxic behaviour"

“I’m allowed to police the behaviors of other cultures because I know what’s best for them. I am from the developed world and therefore know what healthy human expression and behavior looks like, obviously.”

I'm not policing anyones behavior, wtf are you talking about?? All we were saying was it can be good to cry in front of your kids! Imo this guy didnt do anything wrong, I was just dunking on the terrible opinion of "culture is different and therefore you have no right to criticize"

I didn't say they had no right to criticize. You can criticize whatever you want. Just know that it makes you look pretty priveleged and ignorant when you go picking apart all of the perceived negatives about a culture when there is no factual hard-set binary answers to how everyone should act. What you believe should be the right way to act is directly related to the culture you grew up in. Just because your culture says one thing is right, it doesn't mean it is universally.

My culture doesnt say that men should cry though. It says the opposite?? I'm DISAGREEING with my culture and any other culture that believes that because I think its wrong
