Thanks for an honest anwser.

Just to the point of:
> boys are taught not to show their emotions and bottle them up

That is a lie You will never hear this line from a man. I have seen men being emotional around other men including me, but the problem arises whenever a woman is in the room, because it doesn't take long for men to notice, that MOST women do not respect their suffering. On the contrary, whenever a man shows woman any weakness, they take a note of the weak spot to stab at the first oportunity.

In other words, I can clearly see why do women never see men express their emotions, but there is nothing men want more then to open up. Shame, that it ALWAYS leads to more pain, since I have never seen women actually react properly to such behavior.

Other then that, I see your point.
