Then its men who need to be more reticent & encourage women to speak more confidently & ensure that they have the opportunity to do so.

But they do say that men need to learn to express their feelings more in response to the claim that mental illness & suicide is due to this.

Sometimes, it's suggested that women could have some role to play in encouraging men to emote more & giving them opportunity to do so.

But it's very often suggested that its emotional labour when women 'have' to do this & women are the victims of men not doing this.

Obviously, this is one skewed narrative.But people who tend to talk about this make it so ideologically loaded & in a very gender-biased way

Its a risk for men to express their feelings in case they are perceived as weak or needy. Sorry if I'm stating the obvious.

Less attractive to women & more likely to be bullied by other men, yes. I'm sure this predates our humanity.

Pretty much. Its a nice idea to be able to express our feelings more freely, but its risky generally for men (maybe women to, I don't know)

I'd be supportive of this in the same way I'd be supportive of any gender non-conformity. This doesn't mean everyone will be, no.

As problems go I can't see this one going away any time soon lol I wonder if women prefer more robotic, less expressive men? I wouldn't know

I suspect they prefer men who give the impression of remaining strong in adversity coz this quality helped their kids survive.

I agree. Able to withstand high pressure. It all comes down to survival of the fittest.
