Because men are required by society (and by our inner needs) to be competent and steady bulwarks against chaos, we do not and cannot currency in emotion, as women do.

Categorically, women do not understand the inner and outer danger men face if we speak openly about emotion.
Frankly, this is at the heart of the wave of transsexual men that are trying to flip to Team Woman.
They can't hold the line as a man anymore, the emotional pressure inside them is too great. As a woman, they can emote freely, without INNER consequences of identity.
I mean, we are barely allowed to acknowledge that we have fears and insecurities at all, as a concept!
This is why some men cover themselves in tattoos, don a harsh attitude, and otherwise anoint themselves with masculine symbolism- so no one doubts that he is TOUGH.
