The only thing fundamentally different about men’s and women’s emotions are how we’ve been conditioned to present them.
The idea that men have fundamentally different emotions is part of what fuels the male loneliness epidemic. Men are not any less in need of emotional support then women are, women are just socially conditioned from a young age that it is okay to give and receive it.
If you are a man, when was the last time you felt like you could talk about your feelings without being judged for it?
If a man wants to grieve, but is only taught that it is okay to show anger, then that is all that we will see no matter deeply in grief he may be. How one presents their emotions is not always how they feel, much like in autistic people.
