What A Man Should Do For His Family | The Matt Walsh Show Ep. 28

These days men are encouraged to be emotional and vulnerable and to constantly share their worries with those around them. But a masculine man, especially when he becomes a husband and father, should not always be venting his anxieties. He should have quiet strength. He should be willing to carry his cross, and sacrifice for his family, without whining. This is what we used to call "dignity."

I agree with this, a big part of being a man is sholdering whatever your burden is and owning it. Being a man is taking and owning responsibility and not feeling the need to share with everyone your burden. Great talk my man keep it up

[kyleyates]

This video gave me many feelings. Feelings that I will silently bear...

[daisy]

There should be a balance. No man should be crying and whining ALLL the time, but he should feel free to sometimes share his burdens with his wife/friends/family.

never understood this before, but the way you just explained it helped it make more sense for me. If this is the case, then I am ashamed to admit that I have actually been wrongly trying to force my husband to be LESS of a thought men WERE supposed to be more open and less stoic, and my husband has tried explaining it to me before, but it finally clicked with what you just said. My husband is a good man and you've just help to understand and appreciate him way more as a man. Thank you!

[Eleven-dkbe]

Need to hear this stuff sometimes. Thank you

[mormril]

Matt, I appreciate the talk. As I listened to this, I realized that I have not always been a great husband in this regard. The truth of the matter is sometimes my worries and anxieties have caused my wife anxiety. I'm going to try and be better about this.

[marcjoseph]

this shift toward cowardice and dereliction will pass, but not without the hard work of real men to steward the social consciousness to see that it is so. bravo

[chuckhoyle]

It is the duty of a man to be the dependable one when things start hitting the fan.

For example, my wife was a blubbering mess when we moved our oldest into college. We got done getting him moved in, took him out for dinner, then dropped him off so we could go home. My wife turned into a blubbering mess and I, while I was a bit upset, was charged with driving the rest of the family home. If I was in the same state as my wife, I would not have been able to do it. I have told people many times during times of stress and hardship that I reserve the right to fall apart later when I don't have people depending on me.

Usually don't tune into Matt that much, but this episode hit the nail on the head with regards to this topic. Literally everybody I know, with the exception of my mid-50's age parents complain about how stressed and busy they are almost constantly. The secretary at my workplace told me last Friday, "I have a very high stress job" no joke. (Not knocking secretaries, but lets be honest its not high stress). Its very annoying how people complain about this on a daily basis. Just get over it already.

Great message that needs to be spread. Man is capable of so much strength. We've become a society of wimps, ... and not just the men.

[dhrlh]

Men are definitely more attractive when they keep frustration to themselves and let it dissipate, instead of cussing when any little thing goes wrong.

[gillianwright]

Well said Matt. My dear Dad had that quiet sort of dignity, his family could rely on his steady support. A great blessing.

[brendabarajas]

From filming in a car to becoming the world's greatest LGBTQ children author, creator of a documentary What is a Women? Hospital Bomber, translucent activist, the list continues to grow. He has developed so much SBG for life.

[alwaysovercomingbear]

Thank you for this insight. My husband was left brain injured from a work accident 22yrs ago and the part of his brain hurt the most was the emotions can agree that it has been so very tiring/exhausting for me to try and be the Spiritual Head in our home. God's design of family is perfect - Moms are important for mom things and dad for dad things. The balance you are referring to is SO important.

[KenArkane]

The amount of wisdom in this young man (in a car) is stunning. God bless Matt!

[Hammer_OJustice]

I largely agree. But sometimes, you need to reach out for help.... And being that men are not the most communicative, sometimes 1 vent/unloading in a tight group of guys is needed. Sometimes you need to get help/support and don't want to burden your wife. I agree guys are too gushy now as a whole, but if you're not that kind of guy, I think once in a blue moon, it's ok to reach out.

[peanutandoreobasset]

Matt, Your wife and children are blessed to have you and you are blessed to have them. Thank you for all theses videos. I really appreciate them.

[Raymond]

I would like to express my feelings that I hate to share my feelings. There. Got it out. More seriously, this is an important message. Feminism really has destroyed healthy masculinity, and expressiveness is part of that. I appreciate this message in the context of helping men rediscover what being a man is, defined outside of all the destructive narratives we are given. I do encourage communication to women, and believe you have as well, but agree as well that there are times to "man up" and deal.

[peanutandoreobasset]

I, as a woman, like masculine men. My husband works hard and is very kind to me. I like the fact that he is different than me both physically and emotionally. I want men to have feelings, but not to be ruled by them and be overly emotional. The truth is, that a God made us different and no matter how hard we fight against that notion, it is a universal truth.
