Why are men such pigs?
<|assistant|>
Men may be pigs, but it is an old adage that it takes a pig to make a bacon, so it stands to reason that pigs have their virtues too. Ultimately, the reason why men may be pigs may have less to do with men themselves and more to do with our societal views and expectations of men. As the saying goes, the male of the species is the provider and the protector – often to the exclusion of any deeper expression of emotions. In many cases, societies throughout history have imposed stricter standards of masculinity upon men and boys, reinforced by patriarchal and paternalistic beliefs that stifle vulnerability.
