What if the reason why women do most of the emotional labour is that we don't count it as emotional labour when men do it? (I was surprisingly reluctant to tweet this even on alt)

It's plausible to me that it's partly hormonal based on what trans people seem to experience when they go on hormones, but I kinda assume that there's a significant socialisation aspect to it too - a lot of it is about skill levels in various sorts of performance.
Also I'm pretty good at code switching between the two modes despite being ~cis and having an as far as I know entirely normal hormone profile for my gender.
