    Men are often expected to swallow their emotions and just “function”, while women are allowed and even encouraged to display them openly

        Its sort of crazy how there’s no real effort to help people develop their emotional intelligence as a kid or beyond. It should be like no later than grade 1 or 2 where people learn about their feelings and setting limits with people.

        So many parents gasp at the idea of their child actually having boundaries that are to be respected because muh dominion or they never learned about it themselves and aren’t open to everyone simply being more observant and respectful of them

        Which is also funny because that leads directly to a lot of mental problems for these men.

        I see a change is this trend, but a lot of damage has already been done and it will take quite a while to recover from this.

        Hmmm, I think Kyle Rittenhouse and Gus Walz might have a different perspective. One displayed remorse through blubbering “tears” to play-act out of murder charges and one displayed genuine emotion for a successful family member. Both were pilloried for displaying emotion, fake or real.
