Whilst many gender differences are innate, cultural norms & expectations built around them vary greatly & have great impact on how we think.

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.

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.

Sure. Accept them. Don't tell them they should or they shouldn't.
