Sure but the point is that we should be teaching men they are allowed to show their feelings in more than just the most extreme cases. I was socialized as a man and I was constantly derided for crying when I was sad. So much so that I began to cut off allowing myself to feel at all. That shit isn’t healthy and I am not alone. I only stopped living as a man within the last 5-10 years and that kind of “man up” shit from men and even some women never went away until I noticeably stopped being a man.
