RE: Men and Emotional Work why we avoid it and the benefits of doing it
Men look at emotions like
Women look at math.
A strange unknown territory that only brave souls dare tread.
Further, men are told that they should open up, but whenever they do, society and the women in their lives (and sometimes men) take the moment to stab them deep where it hurts the most.
Men are viewed as disposable work horses, and for one of them to complain means it is no longer doing its job and its usefulness to society and women is gone. And then its off to the glue factory.
Other men see this, and are double reluctant to open up.
Anyway, online, in privacy, a man can read and learn and grow.
I agree we have been supressed but its a self fulfilling prophecy because we're not allowed to think like that, we are supposed to just take it on the chin!
There is always a self fulfilling prophecy part to this,
however, what i speak of is hardwired, lower brain, feminine nature.
Such as, the guys who lose their wives / girlfriends when they get a major illness is legion.
Also, i have seen this play out even with highly spiritual, highly self aware women.
