Well, my opinion is, as always, accept people as they are & when it's your partner or other loved one,encourage them to feel able to do thathttps://twitter.com/patking70/status/855455343790309376 …

This is why I think its important to support the people who don't fit gender norms w/out pressuring those who do to try to change.
-
Particularly when those norms are very likely to be innate as women being more emotionally expressive on average probably is.

Yes, yes. Point might be: that article doesn't accept people as they are, nor does rejecting article's premise (ie christianjb's response.)
-
Articular certainly doesn't. Christian, I think, is merely pointing out the underlying attitude which leads to that bias.
-
To counter advocacy for emoting more means advocacy for NOT emoting more. It's converse pressure, re how men/we should live.
@christianjbdev -
No, I don't think so. I, for one, wld be critical of advocacy for men emoting more or less.
-
Because I think this misses the point which is that men should be able to make this decision & this be accepted.
-
I think it'd be much easier to see the problem with advocating that women express themselves more or less.
-
Either way, both men & women can survive the existence of such advocacy.
-
It's still (in part) about ACCEPTING men who regret bottling up. Baby in bathwater here; I appreciate your follow-up as I think it matters.
