re: If you’re a man, nobody cares how you feel.

So you’re saying the difference between men and women is accountability?

We’ve been told that women want sensitive men, but is that just marketing?
It’s marketing. We could do with more stoicism in this world.

Correct.
And if you are a white male, you need to STFU

Here’s a relevant article that I bet a lot of you could relate to like I did. NY Times, I know, yeah yeah.

Intro:
One thing I’ve learned from being married to my wife, Jess, who is a couples therapist, is how vast the distance is between the masks people show to the world and the messy realities that live behind them. Every couple knows its own drama, but we still fall prey to the illusion that all other couples have seamlessly satisfying relationships. The truth about marriage — including my own — is that even the most functional couples are merely doing the best they can with the lives that have been bestowed on them.

It's a trade off for not having periods and getting to pee outside.

'Sensitive Men' have definitely been glorified. IME, when a woman ends up with that perfect 'sensitive man', she winds up disgusted with him. I think women might like the IDEA of a sensitive man, but in reality have no respect for them.
I’ve met a couple. Nothing more embarrassing than a stay at home dad.

I don’t actually believe that we feel things less than women do
I think we feel less than women; not all of us but most. My wife is one of the most grounded women I know, and she is still more emotional than me, and I think I’m more emotional than most men.

True.
The only demand from men are results.
Because we can handle it.
Women can handle birth, which I don't think I could handle. Unless I was a woman, but that's why we have friends we bust each others balls with. Its away of dealing with things second hand.

Yes.
People look at a man's pain with humor or disdain. Not sympathy.
No one cares, once you have that issue settled it makes things a lot easier.

I would say for the majority, yes. But I think it's more of a sign of how everyone has something they're going through or have gone through, and they don't know the answer or how to really help. I was going through a tough few months when my Mother was in Hospice, and I was taking care of her, and my cousin made a comment "well, you just soldier through it." A few months later after she passed away at home, I remembered what he said, and I made a point to remind him to soldier through when someone close to him passed. I was pissed for some reason. Now, a couple years later, I realize he didn't really know what to say. So I resolved to myself that it's probably best just to tell someone, look I'm here. Call me anytime, anywhere if you want to talk. And just let them talk amd keep my mouth shut and just be there for them to vent.

And I don’t care that they don’t care.. I am very comfortable in my own skin… there is nothing fake about me. What you see is what you get.. if you don’t care, either do I….

Just today, a coworker of mine was talking about a vacation that he went on with his wife to see her family. He said something that we have all heard before .."happy wife, happy life". It got me to thinking, when was the last time you heard any women say " happy husband, happy life"?

I'm going to be honest, I don't care how men or women feel.

A lot of modern women (not all) view emotion from men as a weakness.
You think this is new? You can't name a time when it was not viewed as weakness. It's probably less so now because weakness is so prevalent that it's being normalized to a degree.
I'll help my bros through major life shite like wives cheating, but I don't need to hear about everyday emotions. Get it together.

True.
I don’t think anybody truly gives a shite how I feel. I feel at a dead end. I’m forced to pretend that I want to exist because of my daughter.
