NU punter Archie Wilson triggers a conversation around men crying

I've cried in front of my wife and daughters...they don't treat me any differently. Vulnerability is real and relates, at least for me, back to a trust thing with my daughters.
I accidentally did once too - not when my grandpa died, but after I said goodbye to him in person for what we both knew was the last time. That was rough.

Most women absolutely will treat you differently for crying, although I think it's not a huge deal if it's quick and only in the rarest of extreme circumstances. Definitely don't want to make a habit out of it.
 
Matt's basically responding to the comments from the women trying to make it into a thing that men should be weepy & emotional in a regular way, and those chicks trying to hijack Archie's vulnerable moment (when he is clearly not a dude who goes around sobbing over every little thing) & leverage it into some feminist nonsense.

In that, I generally agree with his premise, but it's kinda clumsily presented.

Archie's moment resonated because it was obviously genuine, about something that should deeply matter to a man, & also clearly rare from him.

Thank you for the first meaningful contribution to the thread
