When they have been identified as causing adverse mental and physical health outcomes, it's hardly a presumption. Being able to access, process, and work with your emotions doesn't mean being at the mercy of them - in fact, it's necessary to do all those things in order to not be run by your emotions from behind the scenes, all the while telling yourself about how tough and rational you are - something that many, many men are guilty of because it's been demanded of them.

There's nothing wrong with toughness or self-reliance, and those are definitely traits that many women possess as well. The problem arises when they are demanded in the extreme to the point of social isolation, depression, and suicidal thoughts - which mostly only happens to men (because that's considered masculine).

Many women (and a few men) I know, including myself, are able to use the information we gain from our emotions in conjunction with our thoughts and rational side in order to make sensible, balanced choices and decisions. The whole idea that emotions are the opposite of logic is a patriarchal story - one that harms both men and society at large. And besides, great scientists like Einstein and Tesla were huge proponents of intuition.

"Western societies are enamored of the logical, the rational and the scientific, but emotional and rational aren’t necessarily the antithesis of each other. In fact, our emotions actually give us a lot of information that can be analyzed and used to make decisions from a place of choice rather than kneejerk reaction, but you have to be able to meet and understand your emotions before you can use them in that way. That takes effort and it takes vulnerability."
