@Void as soon as they said women are "emotional" and "take it personal" while "men don't", that's the end of the conversation imo.
They have very toxic stereotypes that an internet comversation isn't going to overcome. Men are also emotional, and it's those harmful stereotypes that keep men from feeling they are allowed to be. Men and women aren't as different as they think. But they will learn that with time. Have to remember there's some young people on here who just don't know better.

@Venaldre Also, nobody said men aren't emotional... actually, they are the more emotional ones, partly because of their hormones like testosterone… That's why most of the times it's men who can't control their anger and become violent, that's why most abusers are men, that's why most domestic violence cases commited by men, and that's why most of the killers are men. they ARE the emotionally more instabil ones, which has a tonns of reasons from biology to social expectations, but a huge part of it is the fact that they naturally don't act out their frustration like women do by naging, crying, etc. They have a different built-up method to handle things, because evolution is a thing, and they were the protectors, the hunters, etc, the ones who take the higher risk in life in general, so they had to be able to get rid of their emotions in extreme/dangerous situations, if they wanted to live… the had to dismiss, dull their feelings all the time, and use brute force and violence to solve their problems.
But evolution progress slowly, so even if we're not cavemens anymore, this very basic surival methods can't just disappear in a few generation of peace and civilization… So, even if tho it's true the "men never cries" and other soial expectations are bullshits and pretty harmful, it's not the only reason men aren't that emotional in everyday life as women. They have the same strugles, it's just they're naturally handle them differently, without expressing them.
