Explanation:

Boys get pressure from young age to act like a man, even in young age other boys will laugh if another boy cries because that is looked at as being feminine.

There is a peer pressure in even choosing a job a boy will not be seen as masculine if they choose to be a nurse.

There is a pressure to find a girlfriend and sleep with her because if they haven't they are called certain names which implies they are not masculine.

There is always a pressure to be a man in such that this is a gender that finds it even hard to be vulnerable because that will not be considered masculine.

They find themselves pressured to be man in every situation by their peers who will laugh and ridicule them if they are not; expectations are always high and demanding on them from a young age from their peers.
