I can't stand that attitude. Being a man, to me, means being a strong leader (if you can be), standing up for others, especially those who are vulnerable, standing against oppression, bigotry, intolerance, and especially fascism. It means processing your emotions, being vulnerable when needed, and not bottling everything up turning into anger and bitterness. It means being comfortable and strong enough to cry,  showing emotion, and you will always feel better and clearer after.  It means treating people with kindness, love, respect, and tolerance. It means learning about people different than you, their wants, their needs, their rights. It takes strength to do all these things. "This is how I fight."

Bottling up emotions isn't being a man, it's being a coward, and it's self-destructive turning you into a bitter mess. It's being too scared to express how you feel, and of how other weak men perceive you.

So literally not doing anything when your wife is getting bitten by a dog, not doing anything when that dog moves on to the baby stroller and then not saying anything at all towards to the dogs owner doesn't make you a coward. What makes you a coward is if you don't sit in your bedroom afterwards and cry while your wife presumably takes care of the baby.
Like, I'd have at least figured he'd be mostly upset that he just stood there while his wife acted but it seemed like he was mostly upset about the dog getting kicked and all the shouting
