Yeah I have my calm and wise moments and my kermit moments.
I mean in Australia it's a notorious problem with blokes. Be a man and push that shit down. Then you have problems with suicide and DV because men can't handle their emotions because in turn they had fathers who weren't emotionally intelligent. And men are the role models for boys, as we know.
The fact you recognize it is huge enough.
Hahahaha!
The thing that really gets me is if you look at photos of mates from say, the 1940s and 1950s, they've got their arms around each other a lot, they're walking with their arm with an arm around their buddy, etc. They were physically and I have to assume emotionally much closer than today, and I feel bad blokes have lost that for no good reason...
The closest thing we might have today is team sport, but I really hope we can stop suppressing it in boys and men.
That is really sad. If you go to Africa or some other places you see young men holding hands or arm in arm, it's so lovely. Here it's rare to even get a hug hello or goodbye with boys. Affection is seen as weakness.
