Timi Dakolo Speaks Against Forcing Men To Suppress Their Emotions: ‘Vulnerability Isn’t Exclusive To Women’
It is believed in African society that females are emotional and vulnerable but singer, Timi Dakolo has countered that claim on social media.
The dad-of-three took to his Twitter to vent about the emotions of a man while noting that being vulnerable is not exclusive to women.
According to Dakolo, no one should tell a man not to cry nor use the regular phrase of ‘you are a man’ to deter such man from crying. He further noted that crying is an emotional act that must be let out, hence it must be expressed in whatever form it comes, irrespective of the gender.
He tweeted:
“The next time you see a man cry, please don’t tell him to stop crying. Don’t throw in “ you are a man , you shouldn’t be seen crying”. Vulnerability is not exclusive to the women . For emotions are like energy and energy must be expressed, less it kills the host. Strong men cry.”
