Nobody is saying that you MUST cry, they are saying that men who do or want to are shamed, told they are pussies, girls, etc. FFS, the phrase, "big boys don't cry" is a prime example of gender indoctrination, as are the other things I named as well.

In most of modern Western history only men were allowed to be fighters but if you look at the rest of the world and the other 97% of when and how humans lived, women were often fighters - sometimes in women only brigades - so the fact that you are mentioning men as fighters as some sort of inherent masculine quality counts for exactly nothing whatsoever.

And I'm not saying anything - I’m reporting that scientists are saying that all humans are born with the same range and capacity for emotions (even if individuals may express that along a spectrum) and that boys are not allowed to exhibit their normal human capacity for that due to current constraints in our culture - which harms them mentally, emotionally, psychologically, etc. If you honestly believe that you know more than the American Psychological Association who just spent 13 years sifting through 40 years of research on this topic, then all I can say is bless your little heart....
