Ha ha ha ha - thank you for proving my point. Your gender socialization is so deeply ingrained and so insidiously ubiquitous that you aren't even aware that it's taking place.
Aside from the fact that most cognitive scientist believe that only about 2% of thought is conscious (and the rest is culture, childhood indoctrination, personal experiences, media, etc. being expressed out of our subconscious places) how do you account for the fact that around the world and over time, what men and what women do and are like is so varied, so individualized, and so different from culture to culture and from era to era - and even from person to person? If it were biology, wouldn't it be a strict binary that is exactly the same everywhere and at all periods of time where nearly all men were alike? Wouldn't PeeWee Herman, Donald Trump, Mikhail Baryshnivok, and RuPaul be essentially the same guy because they are all male?
“In the Middle Ages there was a trope of masculine weeping being a mark of religious devotion and knightly chivalry; by the sixteenth century it was well-established that a masculine man was supposed to have deep emotions and to show them — in some cases, through tears.”
"In the 17th and 18th centuries in England, masculine men were expected to be in touch with their “sensibilities” by sharing and expressing their most profound feelings. In fact, weeping men were often the heroes of popular novels. There’s no definite agreement about when greater stoicism began to be required for men, but some historians believe that the Industrial Revolution was perhaps responsible when it is hypothesized that factory managers wanted their workers focused on productivity.
In other cultures around the world, we also see different expressions of masculinity. The Minangkabau of Indonesia are the largest matrilineal culture in the world. They are devoutly Islamic but the culture revolves around mothers and features a belief in the balance between men and women. Homes and land pass from mother to daughter."
