women seem more likely to get their workout done and leave without drawing a lot of attention to themselves

it is not an argument of holding in your emotions vs showing them.
it is simply a matter of being able to handle bad news. too many people these days are like 12 year old girls...every little thing is just the "end of the world". in reality, bad things happen, then they pass, then good things happen.
accept the fact that bad things will happen from time to time. deal with it, learn from it, and go on. It really is that simple.

I do to an extent, and then when I get angry can tend to burst. But I cool off just as quickly as I heat up. With certain people I am comfortable around they will hear everything bothering me, all the time.

how men are told to hold their emotions inside and therefore more likely to burst.
Therapy can make PTSD worse.
You see the same thing with couples therapy. Talking about your problems often just makes them worse.
Ultimately it is cultural though. Germanic cultures hold it in, Latin cultures don’t. People of course vary.

No. That works for some people but not me. I talk about how I feel; expression of emotion in an articulate fashion is a highly underutilized ability.
Now losing control of your emotions, that is different. No to that.

I assume this going back to the difference in how men and women think. And someone thought it would be a good idea to apply a female solution to men, without understanding how we’re different.

Can you be more specific? I'm not generally John Wayne and I'm clearly more "in touch" with my emotions and show them more than my Dad did, but I'm also not one of these a-holes...
why is it the general consensus that men who don't bottle up all emotions and let things fester are soft? Some of the toughest men I've known weren't too scared to show it

Showing and acting on it are two separate things.
Emotional toughness is generally seen as a big part of being a man. That's not to say you can't be broken.
But, rationality > emotion when making decisions.

Sometimes I wonder whatever happened to Gary Cooper.

I like to switch it up. Hallmark and Lifetime. Have to balance it out with a mix of wanting to be more loving to your wife and save the town toy factory to can't trust that psycho bitch behind your back.

I was in a relationship with a woman who kept telling me she wanted me to reveal my innermost thoughts and feelings. When I did she proceeded to use it against me. I won't make that mistake again.

Emotions can compromise your ability to act, and lead others.
You need to be a rock when everyone else falters. Your composure will reassure the people around you, and give them the confidence they need to continue.
