As a person not infected with the parasitism of the left, i totally disagree with you. The fact you reacted with the stereotypical emotion incontinence of a female proves my point.
The first parents raised their kids so well. Those two little boys gave so much love and kindness. Especially the Latino father and woman and at the end showed so much compassion. So much kindness in the world.
@@tyroneloki5131 no she didn’t… she just took up for him… you never know if the guy was abusive or not. The boy didn’t wanna do it 🤷🏾 there’s nothing wrong with lying sometimes
@@tyroneloki5131 Lying to your dad is definitely okay if he's an asshole. You don't deserve respect if you're not willing to show respect. Calling your kid, or anyone else for that matter mean/degrading names or words for being scared/nervous about something is not how you gain respect, that's how u end up dying alone.
"Toughen up" or "man up" is some of the worst things to say to people in general. It's toxic and is forcing guys to feel like they can't express their emotions like a human being
You don't do that to kids... Just like a man wouldn't want that. Every person afraid of something. That don't make you a sissy and to call your son that..
If that was me, my dad would let a friggin' alligator chase me and say, "It's part of growing up" By the way, if you are scared of spiders, please watch "Lucas The Spider" it is hella cute
“All grown-ups get scared just like children.” - Ms. Honey from Matilda (1996) Edit: Thank you for the likes. I didn’t think it would get this noticed.
Miss Honey was obviously a right dirty mare on the quiet. Clearly took it up the bum and swallowed a nob whole while polishing two rockets with one in each hole.
@Turkey Man If you ever saw a fully grown saltwater crocodile in real life, trust me, the difference between that thing and a dinosaur is rather slim xD
I’m glad the last one told him it was okay not to hold it. Everyone else was trying to coach him into holding it, which I understand the intent, it kinda just reinforces what dad was doing.
There is no harm in coaching. Taking things gradually and with patience is how therapists help their patients handle their fears. The father on the other hand is just an ass
They were encouraging him that the gator wasn’t scary and it’s good to have fears and conquer them. Opposed to the dad just getting angry at him for not doing what he’s told
You're looking at it wrong. Both the dad and the people around were trying to get the boy to step outside his comfort zone and they took different approaches. Being able to step outside of ones comfort zone is actually a really valuable skill. Much more so than being told its ok to remain in your comfort zone at all times.
@@DinoHunter56 although that's true, and I do think it was great that they helped him conquer his fear, the dad was definitely in the wrong. The dumb phrase "man up" and shit like that is so goddamn stupid. He can do whatever he wants and take his own time. Jumping out of your comfort zone is an incredible feeling but not when it's forced and you still feel trapped in it.

Telling your kids to toughen up only makes things worse. They will just be more emotional and it rages their fear. I feel sorry for the kid in this situation
Done wrong and belittling someone sure but toughen up isn't inherently negative. Being tough is a positive thing, means you don't get pushed around or become terrified of something you don't understand.
My dad did the same to me always yelled at me always got angry when i could'nt do it. It hurt me mentally and drunk most of the time to drown my emotions. I'm no longer a child and now have a child of my own but the trauma stays forever. I have every right to hate my dad even when he completely blocked me from his life but i still love him even he did not talked to me in 5 years. He never was there for me you know like a father to his son i never had that i grew up in a broken fam. My grandma raised me when she got sick i got up on my own feet and choose my own path without guidence from nobody it was tough i screwed up so many times before i finally got my succes in life.
In Taiwan, an Asia country, the older generation likes boys more. Hence, they anticipate their sons to be stronger and tougher. Since they don’t want to make their parents disappointed, those guys will hide their emotions and do whatever they can to show their power of masculinity. However, this kind of anticipation impacts them which contributes to the so-called toxic masculinity. It’s not only harmful to the boys but also the girls around them. Those boys might hurt people around them when they couldn’t control their emotions. They may force people to obey them, wanting to be the one who dominates others.
Normal people scare me......... ........AMD SPIDERS 🤢🤮😱😖 And I say that as I befriended a banana spider and called him Binx off of hocus pocus,, Zachary Binx
I really like how the 2 first kids were helping him and even told him that they have their own personal fears. They were really caring and showed vulnerability. Actually both of them showed more maturity than most of those so called adults that are so full of themselves with their big fragile sensitive ego. Given this situation with adults, those manchild would prolly laugh and start to act up showing their balls to everyone in the room.
@@Jmack1lla This is known as torcher. Not as a joke but rather for a reason. The reason being is because this develops hate in people. We also should not control the lives we are making but instead guide. This can mislead a child in developing hate and such things which can latter on more so divide us.
I hate the "be a man" BS, my dad never did this to me growing up but my mom did and it felt wrong even as a kid. If you want your kid to be "stronger" or to face their fears, that's fine, but leave gender out of it.
@@quartzations3297 If there is an apocalypse, if a woman survives, is she a man? Never say man up as being a man doesn’t automatically make you invincible.
@@james__anna_burns4885 oh yeah? alright when there's some country that is doing things right with their people and declares war on a country that doesn't toughen their kids up and they grow up to be sissies how are they gonna defend their country?
As a person who studies psychology, I can tell you that that really messes up with a child, and will probably affect them throughout their entire life. Boys have the same exact emotions that girls do, society just teaches them to suppress them. It’s so sad and I hope that one day every parent understands that dismissing your child’s emotions isn’t though love, it just harms your kid.
This actually made me cry. Alot of people say the generation at the moment is rubbish and has ruined the world and that the next generation will be better but not everyone is bad.
Fear of reptiles is a common thing even in men. I am so pleased how these strangers helped him. The first mom is right! Encouragement is the best approach! My husband HATES snakes. His father was worse than this guy. When my husband was 8, his father had this huge python as a pet and tried to get him to handle it. He was too afraid. His father's response? He told him to kiss it. Ever since then my husband is terrified of them 😔💔 Telling a child to "man up" and forcing them to do something they're afraid of can worsen that fear and may even cause them to develop a phobia
GAGAGAGAGAGA! I will now count to 3 and then I am still the unprettiest RU-vidr of all time. 1...2...3. GAGAGAGAGAGA!!! Btw I have TWO very HOT GIRLfriends who I show off in my v*deos. Thank you for your attention, dear saa
@@AxxLAfriku Are you crazy or something? Go type that crap somewhere else you weirdo. (And idk what these "hot girlfriends" Are doing hanging out with you but it's obvious they're not thinking straight. I assume you drugged them right?)
I literally work with reptiles as a part of my job. The way these people supported and encouraged the kid was spot on. We always tell kids that they don’t have to touch if they don’t want to, but there is nothing dangerous. If myself or my coworkers tried to egg on a child to touch an animal in anyway, especially like the Dad was acting, we’d be fired.
@@patkapatka8541 I know this comment is old, but I saw you didn't get a response and I want to explain. Anytime a person is handling a crocodillian (alligator, crocodile, etc.) the animal is supposed to have it's jaws taped shut. This doesn't hurt the animal, and is in place to protect the human and the animal. If a crocodillian (especially one unable to be released into the wild, either due to a chronic injury or being born in captivity) bites a human it's unlikely to get a second chance like a dog might before being put down, and this is especially true if it bites a child. Edit: I just went back to that timestamp specifically, that is concerning and they may be tapeing them too tightly and/or for too long. There is a chance that the animal is a rescue and the marks are from the previous home, but I don't know anything about this establishment. I didn't notice it on my first watch of the video (I was distracted) and thought you were referring to the tape that is visible in other clips.
ew 4:43 “well I agree with him a little bit bc you know we are men” 😐 toxic masculinity yall 😀 ppl need to stop insulting boys and using “sissy” or “little girl” as an insult it’s so stupid and the phrase “man up” is stupid as well
Yeah. Like the girl that was getting kidnapped in broad daylight. Re-do that in HD and hopefully a much better response than the original, even though it was more ABC News that did it and not WWYD. Link to video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H7dfkZKjWSo.html
Yes, please! And they could even start the segments with something like "this was how people reacted in 2014, now let's see what'll be their response in 2021!" There are so many good scenarios to recreate
We need to be aware of the things that we say and do to children. It can mess them up for life. When my Nan was 100, I asked her what her earliest memory was. It was in 1919 when she was just 3 years old. The extended family had their yearly vacation day off together, to visit the seaside. For each trip, they would get a new outfit, which would be their Sunday best for the following year. That year my Nan was given a white dress. At some stage an adult gave her some chocolate. 3yo, white dress and chocolate. I think you can imagine how that went. Anyway, the first stop on the trip, was to get a family photo taken. Which was a real big deal back then. It was noticed that my Nan had gotten into a mess with her chocolate. A group of adult family members crowded around her. They shouted at her for being dirty, told her that she was nasty and selfish, and that she ruined their one day off a year, because there was no way they could have a picture taken with her being such a mess. She was told that she was good for nothing, and that she would never amount to anything. This experience had left my Nan with a lifetime of low self esteem. She used to call herself a monster, but she was genuinely the kindest person that I have ever met. Anyway, back to 97 years later, I said to her, “You know it doesn’t matter anymore.” After all that was literally the only person in the story that was still alive, including passers by. She nodded lowered her head and said “I know.” I knew that she was gently crying. So I said to her, “it still hurts though doesn’t it?” She nodded again and quietly said “yes.” So I went and hugged and comforted her. I was the first person that she ever told that story to. She had kept it inside for 97 years. She was so grateful for me enabling her to get it out, and to hear that she had done nothing wrong, and that none of it was her fault. So giving a kid tough love might seem a positive thing, it can really mess some kids up for life. #BeKind
"man up, that's just ridiculous" thank you lady...so true. i mean i'm a man, a straight man, but i have no desire to act tough or macho or prove anything to anyone. if i want to act more sentimental and emotional from time to time i will. and yes i do have fears...we all do.
5:06 Aaawwwhhh come one.. you can see its mouth had pain because of the tape to seal it. Hurtful. I myself don't agree with the show if it involves animals like this. Well, you show the safety for humans, is it safe for the animal? I love WWYD, but not this one. Sorry. :(
That’s pathetic! Real men cry and show emotion! Have a heart and wear pink! Yes, I’m a girl but nonetheless real men wear pink, cry, and show emotion! If they have a heart at a young age, that is good! More men need to have a heart, show more compassion, have more patience, and be more understanding towards everyone and everything! So this whole “a guy’s gotta be tough,” “men don’t cry,” “men don’t wear pink,” or more infuriating “boys will be boys” shit needs to stop! Nothing wrong with having a heart or crying! If anything having a heart, being compassionate, and being more understanding is a sign of strength not a weakness! Just because you’re a guy doesn’t mean you have to be a stone cold, macho, heartless, emotionless monster! Get it? Got it?! Good! Be free, to be you! Just the way YOU are and what you yourself wants to be! No one else!
I disagree , we as men have to live up to our standards as the masculine sexe. Its like us as men telling You women dont do your makeup or nails or dont cry , no we cant say that
@@h3ntai418 It's not the same thing, my friend. No one is saying that men should not be able to pursue stereotypical masculine interests, like sports or fixing cars. But just because a man may not be into sports or cars does not make him any less of man. Is a women who is not interested in makeup, nails, cooking, or sewing any less of a woman??
That first kid? He saw something he’s used to and may get often like the mom said, glad he stepped up and helped the kid when he goes through the same thing ❤
Parents telling prepubescent kids to "Man up" or "Toughen up" is literally one of the most obnoxious annoying things that parents can say. A kid that hasn't been through puperty isn't going to be mature they are going to be IMMATURE
People shouldn’t say things like “You’re acting like a girl” etc like it’s a negative thing. It associates women with weakness and that’s why we continue to have a gender imbalance cuz people aren’t careful about the words that come out their mouth. It would be much better to say “You’re acting like a little child/baby” than “You’re acting like a little girl”. In this place there were little girls too so how does it make them feel when they hear a grown man tell his son to “stop acting like a little girl”. I know this is of course all an act I just mean in general we should use better language. I hate when people say “you cry like a girl” cuz it’s obviously so sexist. You know it’s sexist cuz if someone said “you cry like a boy” it doesn’t have the same meaning/ doesn’t make sense
@@godiegodie1336 I completely disagree with you but your right to have your own opinion. It’s just comments like that are the are one of the reasons why men suicides are going up or it puts a strain on their mental health.
There are definitely times where you need “man up” and face your fears and do things you don’t want to do. Encouraging someone to work up the courage to try something is healthy. You cannot grow if you do not try new things. But berating someone, especially a young person, should not be the way of doing so.
If I would be there, I would have directly confronted with the father saying that FEAR IS NOT GENDER SPECIFIC! don't insult your daughters, sisters and mothers by saying such stuff. Those men who engage in crime or don't help victims of crime are in fear too and they are men too, not only women do all things wrongly, such as driving etc. This hypocrite thought is unacceptable. And if you are brought up by this lethal mindset, don't pass it on on next generation, making ideologies as real facts. It all starts from right upbringing..!
to be scared of everything?? you do know thats why there are therapist right? to help people get over their fears, so they can live their lives to the fullest. your logic dictates that you dont really care about people, just let them be right??
@@isaacfaulk23 what part in reading my statements did you realize am mad?? is it just because you cant come up with any proper argument to relay your disagreement , so you just throw childish insults. okay then.
Kid at 2:30 is the best example of what man should be. Brave, calm, he doesnt push other kid to the limits but is there for him. He will grow a real man.
Thank you for making this episode! Brings back memories of when my dad used to say the say to me. Men are sensible, men can be loving, men can cry, men can show feelings and it’s okay! We are all human! Thanks again!
I’m a girl and I always thought reptiles were so cool, I would have those little rubber toy reptiles I would play with and I would draw like reptiles and dinosaurs all the time when I was younger
If my nephew and I were at a reptile house and he was afraid of holding a reptile like a lizard or alligator, I would never force him to do it. Instead I would let him decide for himself and respect him. As for the father aggressively forcing his son to hold a reptile and calling him a wimp, that’s going too far.
I think I agree with the dad you have to face your fears in life sometimes, which is a great lesson to learn especially for a young man, but there are a lot better ways to teach your children this lesson.
I think most men have been through similar situations. The idea that a man is just supposed completely "bulletproof" and not show emotion is crazy. This concept is why so many men have no idea how to express themselves. At the same time I don't think a man should be too soft or sensitive either its all about balance.
Public Service Announcement: Don't force people to toughen up, let people be. If they are afraid of something, don't force them to toughen up, just let their fears be.
this shows that you dont really care about people, you do know there are crippling fears right?? thats why there are therapists to help them, in order for them to live life to the fullest.
Honestly being adult, man or woman, basically means being able to care for yourself and/or others. It means having good morals such as honesty, dependability and integrity. There is more than one approach to this. Not all woman have to like shopping and pink frilly things. Not all men have to like sports or gators. They just have honesty, dependability and integrity.
Oh my gosh y’all were in Louisiana nobody ever represents Louisiana so i’m very happy that y’all went to it the only thing it’s known for is princess Tiana, the super dome, and New Orleans spirit. Glad to see someone famous visit there!
Teaching boys to be masculine isn't wrong. I've seen a 4 year old girl jump off of a 30 foot diving platform showing up a teenage boy. Just overcome your fears.
